Dear traveling and cruising client:
Don't risk your being denied boarding at the pier....
or traveling to any foreign country.

As you know, proof of citizenship policy strictly states that passengers provide required travel documents prior to embarkation. Previously, cruise line passengers have signed a release form acknowledging their U.S. citizenship, allowing boarding. This is no longer the case with cruise line's.

Therefore, it is crucial that you review the following information:

Please note that the requirements listed below apply to all cruises EXCEPT sailings in Europe and South America, as well as cruises from Hawaii calling at Fanning Island, Republic of Kiribati. Passengers on these cruises must carry a valid passport to travel.

• Passengers must provide required travel documentation at embarkation. Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund will be issued

• U.S. and Canadian citizens must provide PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP and PROOF OF IDENTITY for boarding cruises.

• PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP consists of one of the following:
  • Passport (preferred)
  • Original or state certified copy of birth certificate (photocopies not accepted)
  • Certificate of naturalization
  • Certificate of citizenship
  • Report of a birth abroad
    
    
• PROOF OF IDENTITY consists of one of the following (applicable to everyone 16 years of age and older):
  • Valid driver's license that includes a photograph
  • Government identification card including photograph and physical Description
    For ages 6 to 17, a school picture ID is Not acceptable

Permanent residents of the United States are required to carry their ARC cards for boarding. A child traveling with an adult who is not the parent or legal guardian must possess a notarized parental/guardian consent letter that authorizes the minor to travel and receive medical treatment in case of an emergency.

Canadian Entry Requirements further stipulate that minors under age 18 traveling into Canada without both parents must have in their possession a notarized letter of consent detailing actual travel dates and signatures of both parents as authorization.
