✨ TravelLife Travel Tip:
Even if your cruise doesn’t require a passport, having one gives you flexibility, peace of mind, and access to more destinations. We always recommend traveling with a valid passport that’s good for at least six months beyond your return date.
Do I need a passport to cruise?
It depends on where you're cruising, but we always recommend it.
Here's the quick breakdown:
✅ U.S. Citizens Cruising Roundtrip from a U.S. Port
If your cruise starts and ends in the same U.S. port (like a roundtrip from Miami, Seattle, or Honolulu), you may not need a passport. A government-issued photo ID and original birth certificate are typically accepted. These are called closed-loop cruises. However, having a passport is strongly recommended. If you miss the ship in a foreign port or need to fly home unexpectedly, a passport makes things much easier.
🌍 Cruises That Start or End Outside the U.S.
If your cruise begins or ends in a foreign country (like Vancouver, Barcelona, or San Juan), you’ll need a valid passport. No exceptions.
🧒 Traveling with Kids
Children under 16 on closed-loop cruises can travel with just a birth certificate. But again, a passport is always the safest option.
