Make sure to check in a timely manner whether you have the correct travel documents and if any required visas or travel authorizations are needed. Keep in mind any flight layovers as well as ports of call during your cruise. As a traveler you are always personally responsible for obtaining the necessary travel documents.
Which countries will you visit during your vacation?
Make a list of all destinations on your itinerary. Always check the countries you will visit during your cruise as well as any flight layovers. For example consider an international connection or transit port where electronic travel authorizations or visas may apply.
Please note that entry requirements, visa rules, and travel regulations are subject to change. Always verify the latest official guidelines prior to departure.
Sometimes it is convenient to hand over your visa application to a company specializing in travel documents. Alternatively you can choose to arrange your visa directly through the official website of the relevant embassy or government. Managing this process directly is often more cost effective than using an intermediary service.
If you are traveling to or through the following destinations with a United States passport you may need to apply for an electronic travel authorization or visa prior to departure. Always carefully verify entry requirements for your specific itinerary, as policies are subject to change.
Purchasing a Visa Onboard
If your cruise visits countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, or Myanmar, it is often possible to obtain an entry visa directly onboard the ship. For assistance or questions please contact our Cruise Specialists at (689) 284-0600 or email custcare-us@cruiseonline.com.
