Passport Requirements after January 1, 2006

Beginning next year, January 1, 2006, the United States Department of State will be requiring passports for more and more types of travel. ALL CRUISE LINES MUST BE FULLY COMPLIANT with the new regulations.

We encourage all of our clients to obtain an up to date passport NOW.  This will alleviate the more expensive last minute rush and of obtaining the necessary documentation closer to sailing.  Remember, this is the US Government - not known for the speed of its bureaucracy. 

Please visit the following State Department web pages to become fully prepared to communicate the new requirements to your clients...
