IMPORTANT: A VALID PASSPORT IS REQUIRED FOR A
CRUISE
Please be sure to read items numbered 1-4
1. If you FLY to and/or from your cruise
departing/returning port outside the United States
NEW... All citizens, regardless of age, including
infants will be required to show a passport to re-enter the
United States from Canada, Mexico, Panama, Bermuda, the
Caribbean and the rest of the World.
Guests will be required
to present a valid passport during ship check-in
formalities.
Passports
must be valid for at least 6 months after sailing.
Passengers who's Alaska cruise itinerary includes a port
call to a Canadian city, or begins or ends in a Canadian
port/city are required to have a valid Passport. You are
responsible for having the proper documentation with you when
you travel. In addition Visa's may be required to enter
certain countries while on a cruise. So, well in advance
of leaving home, check with the cruise line for the exact
documentation requirements for your cruise or cruisetour.
Failure to have the proper documentation ( Passport, Visa,
Health Vacination Certificates etc. ) as required will
result in denied boarding and you will not get a refund for
your cruise.
Special Note :
Passengers who's Alaska cruise itinerary
includes a port call to a Canadian city, or begins or
ends in a Canadian port/city are required to have a valid
Passport, regardless if you drive or fly. The same is true
if a port call to a Mexico city, or begins or ends in
a Mexican port/city are required to have a valid Passport,
regardless if you drive or fly. Failure to have
the proper documentation as required will result in denied
boarding and you will not get a refund for your cruise.
2. If you FLY to and/or from your cruise
departing/returning port inside the United States
US Citizens: If you are flying to and
from your cruise ports of embarkation and
disembarkation in the United States Only, a
valid passport is REQUIRED
on and after June 1, 2009.
___________________________ EXCEPTIONS
However, there are exceptions for children and
some cruises:
Cruises: Under the new regulations, U.S. citizens
on closed-loop cruises -- those that begin and end
at the same U.S. port -- to Canada,
Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean will be able to
enter the U.S. with a birth certificate and
government-issued photo ID such as a driver's
license.
U.S. citizens traveling to and from
the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, and
Mexico via the same U.S.
port must present an original
government-issued photo ID in addition you must also
present proof of citizenship, such as an original or
certified copy of your birth certificate.
A certified birth certificate has a registrar’s
raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal,
registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate
was filed with the registrar’s office, which must be
within one year of your birth. Photocopies are not accepted. A voter’s registration
card and social security card are not
considered to be proof of citizenship. Children under
the age of 16 do not require a government-issued photo
ID. Please note: U.S. citizens may need a passport to
enter foreign ports.
Although these documents are typically all
travelers need at ports-of-call within those
countries, most cruise lines still recommend that
travelers obtain passports.
IMPORTANT: If a passenger had an emergency
and needed to fly home from a port-of-call in
Mexico, for example, he would need a passport for
air travel. A birth certificate or passport card
would be insufficient.
Travelers also should check whether a passport is
required by any country on their itineraries.
Children: Under the new regulations, U.S. citizen
children under the age of 16 arriving by land or sea
from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean will
be able to present an original or copy of their
birth certificate to return to the country.
Groups of teens ages 16 through 18, when
traveling with a school or other sponsoring
organization, will be able to enter under adult
supervision with originals or copies of their birth
certificates or other proof of citizenship.
Online: For more information on travel
requirements, see the Department of Homeland
Security's
www.GetYouHome.gov. Passport and passport card
processing takes four to six weeks; expedited
service is available for a fee.

Things to Know before You go!
Many people dream of exotic cruises with stops in places like Brazil, but beware
as foreign country visas can add a big expense to that cruise deal. Although
many countries require only a passport, some call for U.S. citizens to get
visas, too.
Newer ports of call in Brazil, Turkey, and Russia require them. There’s a
difference with Turkey and Russia: Turkey allows cruise ships to acquire
“blanket visas” that cover all passengers and Russia allows guests of cruise
ships to bypass a visa if they tour with approved ( cruise line organized ) tour
operators. However, if you want to see the sites of Russia "on your own" you
will need a Russian visa.
Another thing to keep in mind when applying for a visa is that some Middle
Eastern and African countries will not issue visas or allow entry if your
passport indicates travel to Israel.
Also, some countries like South Africa require blank pages for entry/exit stamps.
Read The Cruise line's Brochure
Visa information is listed in the “General Information” section of most cruise
line brochures and on should be found at their web site. You are warned:
the “sole responsibility of the passenger to carry and have available all
required travel documents.” It also states, “Passengers who do not possess the
proper documentation may be prevented from boarding their flight or the vessel
without refund of the airfare, cruise or cruise-tour fare.”
Remember, it is
your responsibility not the cruise line’s, nor your travel agents to know the
requirements for travel month's before you leave home.
Passport and Visa Tips
1. Check the expiration date on your passport. Many countries require that your
passport be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry.
2. Look at visa requirements. Although many countries require only a passport,
some call for U.S. citizens to get visas, too. Check the State Department Web
page to find where visas are necessary.

3. If you DRIVE to and from the
same cruise
departing/returning port inside the United States
Under the new regulations, U.S. citizens on closed-loop
cruises -- those that begin and end at the same
U.S. port -- to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the
Caribbean will be able to enter the U.S. with a birth
certificate and government-issued photo ID such as a
driver's license.
US Citizens: If you are
driving and not flying to and from
the same cruise port for embarkation and disembarkation
in the United States Only, a valid
passport is highly recommended.
In the absence of a
passport, a birth certificate (original or a certified
copy), A certified birth certificate has a registrar’s
raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal,
registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was
filed with the registrar’s office, which must be within
one year of your birth,
plus a picture ID card issued by a federal, state
or local government agency is required. A voter
registration card or Social Security Card are not
considered to be proof of citizenship. Children under 16
years of age do not require a picture ID.
This only applies if you are
driving. If a plane trip outside the United States
is part of your cruise itinerary anywhere in the world,
you will need a valid Passport. Passengers who's Alaska
cruise itinerary includes a port call to a Canadian city,
or begins or ends in a Canadian port/city are required to
have a valid Passport, regardless if you drive or fly.
Failure to have the proper documentation as required will
result in denied boarding and you will not get a refund
for your cruise.
4. Our
recommendation
We strongly
recommend that all guests travel with a valid
passport during their cruise. This greatly assists guests
who may need to fly out of the United States to meet their
ship at the next available port should they miss their
scheduled embarkation in a U.S. port; guests entering the
U.S. at the end of their cruise; and guests needing to fly
to the U.S. before their cruise ends, because of medical,
family, personal or business emergencies, missing a ship's
departure from a port of call, involuntary disembarkation
from a ship due to misconduct, or other reasons.
Guests who need to fly
to the United States before their cruise ends will likely
experience significant delays and complications related to
booking airline tickets and entering the United States if
they do not have a valid U.S. passport with them.
The Department of State, the agency of the Federal Government that issues passports, announced new rules for the issuance of the NEW Passport Cards.
- The application form for applying for a new passport has been amended so that applicants can check whether they are applying for a passport book (the traditional passport), a passport card or both. The new Application for Passport form DS 11, which is the same number as it has been previously, must be used for all persons applying after February 1, 2008.
- The passport card is not valid for travel by air. It is valid only for land and sea crossings between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean region. The passport card has the same validity as the passport book: 10 years for adults and 5 years for minors under 16.
- Passport cards can be used for identification for domestic flights. Remember: the passport card can be used as government-issued proof of identity and proof of citizenship. So, if you do not have a driver’s license and need identification for passing through security for domestic travel, you can use your passport card for proof of identity instead of presenting your driver’s license.
- Passport cards have the same validity as passport books – 10 years for adults 16 and over and 5 years for children under 16.
Citizens will be able to apply for a passport card at any acceptance agent on the same basis as a regular passport.
- The passport cards will be able to be scanned at U.S. borders when a person is in the vicinity of an electronic reader that will be operated by U.S. border control officials. The chip in the card contains only one item of information – a unique identifying number that has meaning only inside the secure database of the State Department and Homeland Security Department. There is no personal information such as name, date of birth, social security number, etc. stored electronically on the chip. So, if someone did pick up the signal, they would not be able to use the data to learn anything about the holder.
- The government may permit alternative documentation for land crossings such as driver’s licenses issued by states that have established methods for determining citizenship acceptable to the Federal government. Several states have already submitted proposals to the Federal government. This matter will be addressed in subsequent regulations issued by the Federal government.
- The execution fee for applying for a passport card is $25. The execution fee for applying for a passport book is also $25. If you apply for both at the same time, there is only one fee.
Effective February 1, 2008, there are new forms that must be used for passport applications.
The new fees for Passports effective February 1, 2008:
| Fee Type |
New Passport Fee
|
New Post Office Fee
|
New Total

|

N/A |

|
|
|

*Not available for cards
|

|
The fees for obtaining a passport card for persons without a passport are as follows:
a. Adults: Total $45 -- $20 application fee, plus $25 execution fee
b. Children under 16: Total $35 -- $10 application fee, + $25 execution fee
Persons who have a valid passport book (Remember: a “passport book” means a person who has a “passport”) and who are applying for a passport card (in addition to holding a valid passport) are not required to pay the execution fee. Thus, persons with a valid passport who also want a passport card can apply for $20.
Change in the age for parental consent and issuance of passports to minor children:
Effective February 1, 2008, both parents must appear or sign consent forms for a child under 16 to apply for a passport. Formerly, the requirement for both parents to consent was for children under 14. It is now required for children under 16.
Effective February 1, 2008, a parent may request that their minor children’s (under 18) names be entered in the U.S. Passport name-check system. Once entered into the system, the program known as the Children’s Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP) will notify the parent if a passport application is submitted in behalf of his/her minor child(ren), and will deny the issuance of a passport if there is an appropriate court order on file with the CPIAP.

Benefits of Having
a Passport
If you don't already have a passport, now is a good time
to apply for one! There are many benefits to having a
passport:
- No more juggling birth certificates and driver's
licenses! A passport is a single document that provides
photo identification, as well as proof of citizenship.
- The convenience of not traveling with original birth
certificates. You'll no longer have to worry about losing
or damaging these precious documents.
- Expedited entry into the United States for U.S.
citizens and legitimate foreign visitors.
For Guests 16 years of age or older, a passport is valid
for 10 years, and passports for Guests 15 years of age or
younger are valid for 5 years -- so there's plenty of time
to use your passport again and again when you cruise with
Cruise Direct Online.
Travel Direct Corporation ( Cruise Direct Online and other
related companies ) assumes no responsibility for advising
guests of immigration requirements. The information
below is for reference purposes only and is subject to
change without notice. You are advised to contact the
cruise line for the latest requirements and if necessary
the appropriate consulate, U.S. Embassy or U.S.
Immigration office to inquire further about travel

Subsequently, all guests
belonging to nationalities that require a visa to enter
Canada may be denied boarding in if they do not possess
such a visa. If you are a holder of a US Alien Resident
Card or holder of a Canadian Residency Permit you may be
exempt. Please note, visa requirements vary by country and
are subject to change. As always, guests traveling abroad
are urged to contact their local immigration office and/or
respective embassy or consulate to determine the entry
requirements for their cruise destinations. You and only
you are responsible for having the proper documentation.

new high-tech registration system on January 5, 2004 to
fingerprint and photograph foreign visitors, who are
required to have visas, as they enter through designated
U.S. airports and seaports. The program will exempt

Minors
For Minors
(under the age of 18) traveling without parents,( say, going
with a friend and his/her parents ) they must possess a
notarized parental/guardian consent letter that authorizes
the minor to travel, and that further authorizes medical
treatment in case of an emergency. If only one parent
is going on the trip, the other parent must sign a release
form. If neither parent is going, then BOTH parents must
sign. For example,
Mexico
requires a notarized affidavit signed by ANY parent not
accompanying the minor. Furthermore,
Canadian Entry Requirements stipulate that minors
under the age of 18 traveling into Canada without both parents must have in their
possession a notarized letter of consent that includes the
actual dates of travel and signatures of both parents as
authorization to do so.
Your
Responsibility
Without
exception, it is the responsibility of the individual
traveler to obtain passports, birth certificates, visas and
other documents required for entry into a foreign country,
for embarkation and re-entry into the United States. Simply
put: If you find yourself being turned away for a lack of
documentation, your options for recourse are nil. You
will not get a refund if you are denied boarding for lack of
proper documentation. Always contact the embassy or
consulate of any country you'll be visiting and request a
copy of its entry requirements. For information on obtaining a
