Any new passenger sailing with a reservation transferred to him/her in violation of this paragraph may be denied boarding by SSE or, in SSE’s sole discretion, removed by SSE from the Cruise at any port, at such new passenger’s sole cost.

Guests under the age of twenty-one, traveling with a guardian 25 years or older, (who is not a parent, grandparent, or court-appointed legal guardian), MUST bring an original signed letter from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel with the appointed guardian. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security upon return to the United States. Please note that a notarized letter to this effect is highly suggested.

18. PASSPORT AND LEGAL TRAVEL DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS
Below are passport guidelines as of March 2024, however they are subject to change. We strongly encourage all guests to visit the Department of Homeland Security website (http://www.dhs.gov) for the most up-to-date traveler information including passport and visa requirements as well as travel advisories and safety recommendations.
Please Note: Guests who fail to have the required documents as determined by U.S. Customs and Immigration will be denied boarding and such guests shall not be entitled to any refund, nor shall SSE or Royal Caribbean International have any further liability to such guests.
Although a passport is not required currently for U.S. citizens, we strongly recommend that all guests travel with a passport (valid for at least six months beyond completion of travel). Having a passport will enable guests to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port in the event they miss their scheduled embarkation, or to fly back to the U.S. if they need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency.
U.S. citizens taking cruises are not required to have a passport. However, guests who will be traveling without a passport will need proof of citizenship such as one of the following:
- Real ID – required for domestic flights after May 2025.
- Passport – RECOMMENDED – U.S. Passport must be valid through the dates of travel of the cruise as well as not expired.
- Passport Card – A valid unexpired U.S. Passport Card can be used to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda at land border crossings or seaports-of-entry and is more convenient and less expensive than a passport book. The passport card cannot be used for international travel by air.
- Original or Certified copy of a Government Issued Birth Certificate with a raised seal or in some cases a holographic image. Neither a notarized copy of a birth certificate NOR a Live Hospital Birth Certificate will be accepted by CBP. Please also keep in mind that if you are traveling using a birth certificate and you have had a name change (i.e.: marriage), you will need to provide proof of that name change (i.e.: marriage license).
- Consular report of Birth Abroad – Notarized copies are not acceptable. We highly recommend that, if possible, guests travel with a Passport.
- Certificate of Naturalization – Notarized copies are not acceptable. We highly recommend that, if possible, guests travel with a Passport.
In addition to proof of citizenship, guests will be required to present a valid government- issued photo ID, such as a Driver’s License or Real ID. Children are also required to bring proof of citizenship, and if sixteen and over, a photo ID is also required.
ONLY US Citizens can sail using a valid Proof of Citizenship (see above) and a government issued photo ID. Canadian and Bermudian citizens are required to have a passport for air, land, and sea travel
U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens
Alien Registration Card (Green Card) U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and, in some cases, a passport (depending on itinerary). Guests must check with their consulate or appropriate government authority to determine if their nationality requires them to also bring a passport along with their Alien Resident Card.
U.S. lawful permanent residents will continue to be able to use their Alien Registration Card issued by the Department of Homeland Security or other valid evidence of permanent residence status to apply for entry to United States.
Card renewal is an important matter. ARC holders (United States permanent residents) with expired cards may be considered “out of status” and may be denied entry / reentry into the United States. If your ARC was issued over 10 years ago, you should check the expiration date printed on the front of the card. If your card is expired, or it is about to expire, you should renew your card before you sail.
If you are holding an old edition ARC WITHOUT an expiration date, you will not be detained from entering the United States, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection highly suggests that you apply for a new card before you sail.
Other non-U.S. Citizens
All guests of nationalities other than United States must have a valid passport for six months beyond the period of their intended stay in the United States along with all valid visas (if applicable). Please see below additional information regarding the Visa Waiver Program and Six Months Passport Validity Rule excepted countries.
Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine-readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.
Non-U.S. citizens that are eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program must still have a valid unexpired passport. U.S. State Department regulations require all guests traveling from visa-waiver countries be in possession of a machine- readable passport that includes a biometric identifier – e.g., embedded digital photograph. Otherwise, guests will be required to obtain a U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests without proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.
You will need a valid passport and, in some cases, a visa. If you live in the U.S., you will also need the original copy of your Alien Registration Card (ARC or “Green Card”) and any other documentation the countries on your itinerary require due to your alien status.
Citizens from the Visa Waiver Program countries will require a machine-readable passport valid for the duration of their voyage. SSE and the other Released Parties (as herein defined) assume no responsibility for advising you of immigration requirements. Non-U.S. citizens, including resident aliens, must contact the appropriate consulates, embassies, and/or immigration office(s) to inquire about necessary documentation for the Cruise’s ports of call. Your name, as listed on your travel documents, must exactly match your name as listed on your Cruise documents.
Family Legal Documents:
Adults who are not the parent or Legal Guardian of any minor child traveling with them are required to present the child’s valid passport and visa (if required) or the child’s birth certificate (original or certified copy) and an original notarized letter signed by at least one of the child’s parents. The notarized letter from the child’s parent must authorize the traveling adult to take the child on the specific cruise and must authorize the traveling adult to supervise the child and permit any medical treatment that must be administered to the child. If a non-parent adult is a Legal Guardian, the adult must present a certified certificate of Guardianship with respect to the child.
19. INOCULATION AND HEALTH
All guests must ensure that they are medically and physically fit for travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) provide guidelines as to which vaccinations are required in each country. In many cases inoculations are recommended, but in some circumstances, they are required. We recommend that you check with your health care professional, or a Travel Medicine Specialist certified by the WHO for guidance. Other informational resources can be accessed at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Traveler’s Health website or toll free at 1-877-FYI-TRIP, and the World Health Organization website.
