NON-U.S. AND NON-CANADIAN CITIZENS
In addition to a valid passport, many countries require an entry visa based on your nationality. It is each Guest's responsibility to identify and obtain all the necessary visas before commending the cruise. Because requirements may vary, Guests are advised to contact their government agency, embassy or consulate for more information on required travel documentation for the port of embarkation and all ports of call during the cruise.

If your country participates in the Visa Waiver Program, you are now required to have a valid machine-readable passport and obtain 72-hour advance travel authorization via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to boarding carriers by air or sea to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program. For a list of applicable countries and registration requirements, ESTA information is accessible online at http://cbp.gov/travel. A copy of the approved ETSA application should be brought with you when traveling.
