CRUISE TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION
ALL PORTS
Information
regarding travel documentation requirements.
Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation,
throughout the cruise and re-entry into the United
States.. It is the sole responsibility of the
guest to bring with them on their cruise all required
travel documents. Failure to do so will result in denied
boarding. If you are denied boarding you will not get a
refund.
Guests
should check with the cruise line, and/or government
authority to determine the most-up-to-date travel
documents necessary for each port of call. The
information here was accurate at the time of publication
but can change at anytime. Do not rely just on this
information . Always check with your cruise line and/or
government authority to make sure you have the correct
and up-to-date information. Cruise Direct Online assumes no
responsibility for advising guests of proper travel
documentation.
CRUISE TRAVEL: U.S.
Citizens
We
highly recommend all guests travel with a passport valid
for at least six months beyond completion of travel.
Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens
taking cruises that begin & end in the same U.S. port,
travelling with a passport enhances their disembarkation
experience, as delays may be expected upon their return
to the U.S. if they do not have one. Additionally,
passports make it easier for them to fly from the U.S.
to a foreign port should they miss their scheduled port
of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for
emergency reasons.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows
U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises
that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with
one of the following WHTI compliant documents:
- Valid U.S. Passport
- Original or Certified copy of a Birth Certificate
- Certificate of Naturalization
- Passport Card
- Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL)
- Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card, e.g., Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card
A
government-issued photo ID is also required for all
guests, including children 16 and over. For more
information, a complete list of WHTI-compliant documents
or to obtain a passport application, visit

Sailings from Canada or
to Canadian Ports of Call:
( All Alaska
Cruises require a passport as you have at least one
Canadian port of call )
U.S. Citizens require a valid passport.
Europe, Hawaii and
Transatlantic Cruises:
U.S. citizens must have a valid passport.
U.S. Alien Residents and
Non-U.S. Citizens:
U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card
and/or passport (depending on itinerary) to travel on
all cruises. Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine
readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple
Re-entry Visa, if applicable, to travel on all Carnival
cruises. Guests are advised to check with their travel
agent or appropriate government authority to determine
the necessary documents, including a Schengen/ or
Croation Visa necessary for European cruises.
