All Guests Traveling to Mexico
To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a Mexican
Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate prior to their
departure.
Europe, Transatlantic and Transpacific Cruises:
United States citizens must have a valid passport for travel. All other guests must
check with their travel agent or the appropriate government authority to determine
the necessary documents. Certain foreign nationals will be required to obtain a
Schengen Visa for Europe cruises.
AIR TRAVEL
Valid passports are required for air travel to any port outside the U.S. This will
impact all guests traveling by air to embark or debark in Vancouver for our Alaska
or Hawaii cruises; and our Canadian guests that travel by air to or from any of our
U.S. embarkation ports. This will also enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their
ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests
that must debark the ship before their cruise ends to fly back to the U.S without
significant delays and complications. Please note that in some cases, depending
on itineraries, you may not be allowed to meet the ship at the next port of call if you
miss the ship at the embarkation port. Guest names on travel documents (passport,
Alien Resident Card, birth certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on the cruise
and airline tickets. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g., a marriage license) with
a valid driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) must be presented.
It is recommended that all guests travel with a passport valid for at least 6 months
beyond the completion of travel.
ON BOARD ATTIRE
Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc.
for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you
wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. The use
of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited
on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a
light sports jacket or cardigan.
Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise
Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you
will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want
casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more
relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all
times inside the Lido Restaurant.
• Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans
(no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses,

Special Sailings
For Canada/New England/Alaska cruises: Sweaters, lightweight jackets and
raincoats are suggested. Casual clothes that can be layered easily are highly
recommended. Bring a heavier sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with
a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas.
For South America and Europe cruises: Comfortable shoes and a just-in-case
raincoat. Bring a sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat
and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas. Special note: It
is essential that you wear the proper apparel when visiting the Vatican and other
religious sites (no bare legs or shoulders).
