New in 2025: ETIAS Visa Waiver Required for U.S. Passport Holders

A valid passport is required for international tours. Effective for travel in 2025, U.S. passport holders are required to apply for an ETIAS visa waiver. Please visit our Passports & Visas page to learn more about any required actions, next steps, and additional costs.

The ship may dock in uneven terrain and travelers may encounter uneven surfaces, stairs, and significant slopes on shore excursions. Due to local conditions, wheeled and seated mobility devices cannot be accommodated.
