If your cruise departs from and returns to the same U.S. port, here’s what you need to know:
Guests 16 & Older:
• Original birth certificate (with raised seal)
• Government-issued photo ID (driver’s license is perfect)
Guests Under 16:
• Original birth certificate only
✨ A valid U.S. passport (not expiring within 6 months) is recommended for all guests but not required for closed-loop cruises (same U.S. port for departure and return).
Yes — you can get off and back on the ship in countries like:
• Bahamas
• Mexico
• Jamaica
As long as it's a closed-loop cruise, your birth certificate + ID is accepted.
Cruising round-trip from a U.S. port like Seattle?
• No passport needed just to visit Canadian ports.
• Passport REQUIRED if your shore excursion crosses into Canada by land.
A valid passport is MANDATORY (not expiring within 6 months) if visiting:
• Colombia
• Greenland
• Guadeloupe
• Martinique
• Panama
• Europe (any country)
• Canada – if your cruise does not return to the same U.S. port or includes excursions crossing into Canada by land
