U.S. Immigration and Cruise Lines Requirements for Proof of Citizenship
U.S. Immigration determines the correct documents which guests must have in their possession in order to travel. Proper travel documentation is required throughout the cruise and is the responsibility of the guest. Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel, and no refund of cruise fare will be issued. Documents must be presented at time of embarkation.
United States and Canadian citizens must provide proof of citizenship in the form of a passport (valid or expired for less than 10 years prior), original birth certificate, state issued certified copy of a birth certificate, U.S. Military ID, or original naturalization papers. In addition, guests that are 16 years or older must provide a photo ID. U.S. citizens needing to order their birth certificate may do so by visiting http://www.vitalchek.com/, an online vital records service.
Resident Aliens of the United States need to have their Alien Resident card AND passport (valid or expired). Aliens eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, must have a valid passport.
Aliens (non-citizens) are required to carry a valid passport and a valid U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests will need to contact the consulates of the islands/countries they will be visiting, to inquire about necessary travel documentation. Immigrations determines the proper documents which guests must have available in order to sail.
For cruises that visit or transit in Canada, citizens of some countries may require a Visa. Guests must check with the Canadian Consulate for documentation requirements. This includes cruises to Canada (from New York) and Alaska cruises.
Please be advised that any guest WITHOUT proper documentation will be denied boarding without benefit of a refund. There are NO EXCEPTIONS.
