TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

The proper travel documentation is required at embarkation (and throughout the cruise) and is the sole responsibility of the guest. Any guest traveling without proper documentation will be denied boarding and will not be offered a refund or a replacement cruise. It is your responsibility to check with your travel agent, government agency, embassy or consulate to ensure that you have all the proper documentation to board the ship. We assume no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.

Photocopies or pictures of documents will not be accepted.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO FAILS TO BRING PROPER TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

Passports

We strongly recommend that all guests travel with a passport as their form of ID, and for some guests a passport is required. The passport must be valid for 6 months after the day your cruise ends. The name on your passport should match the name on your cruise reservation and if it does not, please see below “What if the name on my identification doesn’t match the name on my reservation” below.

Accepted Travel Identification for U.S. Citizens

• A U.S. Passport book that is valid for at least six (6) months after your cruise ends.
• A valid passport card
• An official US state or territory issued certified Birth Certificate. (Baptismal paper and hospital certificates of birth are not acceptable). Guests ages 16 and older that present an official US state-issued Birth Certificate will also need to provide a valid Driver’s License or picture ID issued by the government. A U.S. citizen under the age of 16 does not require a government-issued photo ID, but must present either an original, notarized or certified copy of his/her birth certificate.
• Birth Certificates from the following US territories are acceptable – Guam, US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico birth certificates issued after July 1, 2010 only).
• Original certificate of U.S. naturalization
• Original certificate of U.S. citizenship (Voter registration cards or Social Security are NOT considered proof of citizenship)
• U.S. Consular report of your birth abroad
• Enhanced Driver's License

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN

Children ages 16 and over must carry a government-issued photo ID such as a state ID or provincial driver’s license in addition to an original, notarized or certified copy of birth certificate as outlined above.

Children 15 and under must have an original or copy of their original, notarized or certified U.S. birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department of the birth State), an original or official replacement Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by the Department of State, or original Naturalization Certificate issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Newborns whose official U.S. birth certificate is not yet received can travel using the hospital-issued birth certification.

When traveling with a minor where one parent or both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter or Minor Consent Form from the absent parent(s) or legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. The minor consent form can be found here.

If there is no second parent with legal claims to the minor (due to sole custody, deceased, etc.) other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, death certificate, birth certificate naming only one parent, would be useful to bring in place of a signed letter. This will expedite processing by United States Customs and Border Protection.
