PASSPORTS
A valid passport book is required for international travel and for entering the United States by air. A valid passport book or other WHTI compliant document is required for domestic cruise travel in some circumstances (see below). We strongly recommend that all guests travel with a valid passport book, even when not required. For additional passport information visit: www.travel.state.gov
Caution: The requirements described below are government regulations and policies. They are subject to change without notice. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to identify and obtain all required travel documents and have them available when necessary. These appropriate valid travel documents, such as passport, visas, inoculation certificate and family legal documents, are required for boarding and reentry into the United States and other countries. Passport book expiration date should not occur within six (6) months following the voyage termination date.

This will ensure your party is able to board successfully. To learn more about each countryâs requirements, please visit the respective government website or contact their embassy/consulate.
