For cruises that begin and end in the same US port, you are required to carry one of the below documents:
A Valid Passport
OR
Proof of Citizenship (see below) AND Government-issued photo ID
-
- State certified U.S. birth certificate
- Original certificate of U.S. naturalization
- Original certificate of U.S. citizenship
- U.S. Consular report of your birth abroad
- Enhanced Driver’s License (enhanced driver’s licenses are only issued in Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington)
- A valid passport card
Photocopies or pictures of documents will not be accepted.
A valid passport is required on all sailings that begin in one US port and end in another US port.
Norwegian Cruise Line strongly recommends all guests to obtain a passport for their cruise vacation for the following reasons:
- If you miss the ship at its scheduled U.S. departure port and need to travel outside the U.S. to meet the ship, a passport would be required to travel internationally by air.
- If you unexpectedly need to depart the ship from a foreign port prior to the end of sailing, a passport would be required to travel internationally by air.
- International ports of call can change their travel requirements at their own discretion and may unexpectedly require all guests to have a valid passport to go ashore.
