New travel requirements for U.S. Citizens
in effect as of June 1, 2009:
While the new Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)
requires valid passports for land and sea travel, a final ruling
was issued allowing leniency for “closed-loop”cruises, i.e., sailings
that both originate and terminate in the same U.S.port.
U.S. citizens taking “closed-loop” cruises are not required to
have a passport but will need proof of citizenship and a
government-issued photo ID, such as an original or certified
copy of a birth certificate and a driver’s license. Children will also
be required to carry a birth certificate and a photo ID
if over the age of 15.
Although a passport is not required for“closed loop” cruises,
we strongly recommend all guests travel with a passport (valid for
at least six months beyond completion of travel), a passport card
or an enhanced driver’s license (EDL). Having these documents will
enable them to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port in the event they
miss their scheduled embarkation or to fly back to the U.S. if they
need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency.
If a cruise begins and ends in different U.S.ports or begins and
ends in a foreign port, a valid passport or other recognized
WHTI-compliant document is required. A valid passport is required
if you are traveling on any of our Europe cruises.
