Are there any visa requirements?
Visa Essentials
- UK passport holders: Some destinations require a visa. You’ll be informed when booking, and your cruise documents will spell out exactly what’s needed.
- Non-UK passport holders: It’s super important to check with the relevant embassy or consulate to see if you need a visa or entry permit. Not having the right documents could mean being denied boarding or facing fines.
