A passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling by air to or from any foreign country. Many countries require that your passport be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. To apply, please go to: Travel.State.Gov.

For round-trip U.S. cruises, passports are recommended but not required. Passengers 16 and older need an original or certified copy of a birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID. Cruisers under 16 need a birth certificate.

Minors cruising without both parents require a notarized letter of consent signed by the absent parent or guardian. If a parent is deceased, has sole custody, or has a different last name, please bring supporting legal documents (e.g., court orders, adoption papers, or death certificates). Always verify your specific cruise line's guidelines before embarkation.

Please go to Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) for more information.

Travel insurance is a safety net for your financial investment and personal well-being when unexpected events disrupt your trip.

This important coverage is protection for cancellations, interruptions, medical emergencies and travel and luggage delays.

Travel insurance is conveniently available as an add-on to all of our travel packages, ensuring your trip is protected from start to finish. Please let us know if you are interested in this coverage.
