PASSPORTS – THE HASSLE-FREE WAY TO TRAVEL
-
"For some voyages, traveling with a passport book is a requirement. Even when not required, we strongly recommend traveling with a passport. You will be traveling internationally, a passport (book) is the best document for hassle-free travel. Not only will it enhance your embarkation experience, it will also get you through customs and immigration processing faster at debarkation."
-
"If you are looking for something more accessible, a passport card will also provide a speedy embarkation and debarkation experience. Passport cards are a nice alternative to passport books for sea travel to countries within Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) countries and may also be used as REAL ID (for domestic air travel purposes)."
-
"In the event an emergency arises, a passport book is the ONLY acceptable document for flying back home from overseas."
Note: A passport (book or card) must be valid for at least six months after the last day of the cruise.
Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
​
For international travel, we highly recommend registering with the US Department of State STEP Program. You can learn more and register via their website. Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals to enroll their trip abroad so the Department of State can accurately and quickly contact them in case of emergency.
