Current Passport Requirements
Cruise Transport Only: U.S. Citizens are currently required to show a valid passport OR birth certificate (original or certified copy). If using a birth certificate a photo ID is also required (Driver's License). A valid passport will be required for cruise transport beginning June 1, 2009. This date was recently changed from June 1, 2008 to allow more time for travelers to obtain passports. More Information
