Passport Requirements

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

I know it’s repeating.  But It’s better to have more information here.

Please note that all passengers traveling by air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid U.S. passport beginning January 8, 2007. Even if your cruise does not involve air travel outside the U.S., should you be required to unexpectedly depart a vessel prior to the end of the sailing, a passport would be required to re-enter the U.S. by air. As such, Princess continues to strongly recommend that all passengers are in possession of a passport. Information regarding the passport requirements is available at www.travel.state.gov. Foreign nationals should contact their governments for further details. 

 

Many countries require your passport to be valid for six months from the completion of your travel. Check your passport to ensure it will be valid for this period of time. Please ensure the name on the passport matches the name on the booking. Additionally, ensure your passport contains blank pages for entry and exit endorsements and any visas that may be required. If necessary, allow sufficient time to renew your passport and/or obtain additional pages.
