We strongly recommend that all guests travel with a passport as their form of ID, and for some guests a passport is required. The passport must be valid for 6 months after the day your cruise ends. The name on your passport should match the name on your cruise reservation and if it does not, please see below “What if the name on my identification doesn’t match the name on my reservation” below.

While some other forms of ID may be accepted for your cruise, a passport is the very best option because:

• If you unexpectedly need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of sailing, a passport would be required to travel internationally by air.
• International ports of call can change their travel requirements at their sole discretion and may unexpectedly require all guests to have a valid passport to go ashore.
• Disembarking the ship is easier and faster for guests carrying passports as their travel identification.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE UNEXPECTED MIGHT HAPPEN – LIKE LEAVING THE SHIP FOR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY – AND IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO BE PREPARED!
