Do You Need a Passport to Cruise?

Please note that U.S. citizens must bring one of the following WHTI (Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) compliant documents in order to sail on a cruise that departs and ends from the same U.S. port:
Copies of the following will NOT be allowed:
  • US Passports
  • Naturalization Papers
Originals, or copies will NOT be allowed:
  • Baptismal Certificates
  • Hospital issued "Certificate of Birth"
As always, we recommend that all guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel). Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port, traveling with a passport facilitates your customer's disembarkation experience. It also makes it easier for them to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should they miss their scheduled embarkation or need to fly back to the U.S. for an emergency.

  • Valid U.S. Passport
  • Passport Card
  • Original or legible copy of a Birth Certificate (issued by the Department of Vital Statistics)
  • Certificate of Naturalization
  • Enhanced Driver's License
  • Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card (i.e. Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card)
  • A Consular Report of Birth Abroad

  1. Three years ago Senator Dan Inouye and I traveled to Ground Zero shortly after the 9.11 attacks. Governor Pataki and Mayor Giuliani met us and brought us up the river to the site. It was a sad and terrible sight, but it was also a proving ground of American strength, courage, and resolve.
