You might be heading to the most exotic and beautiful destination in the world, but if you don’t have the right documentation, you’ll never get there. Even travel insurance won’t protect you from a missing visa or invalid passport. Travelers are responsible for identifying and obtaining all required travel documents and have them available when necessary. Unfortunately without proper documentation, you may be prevented from boarding a flight or cruise ship and from entering a country. These requirements are by government regulations and policies.
To avoid the unthinkable on your vacation plans, we’ve made it our goal to keep you informed and prepared for your next trip, when you use one of our local travel agents.
Anyone who plans to travel outside the United States will require a valid passport or visa to enter another country, as well as re-entry to the United States. To travel within the United States, a driver’s license or other state- or federal-issued photo ID is required.
Do you need a passport to go on a cruise for your upcoming vacation?
A travel visa is a document issued by a foreign country that provides permission for you to gain entry into that country. All travelers are responsible for determining whether or not a travel visa is required for their upcoming trip, that is why we recommend using a travel advisor.
