IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TRAVEL TO AMERICA AND THE U.S CARIBBEAN

All passengers who intend to travel to the USA by any means must complete the online ESTA form (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) as soon as your cruise is confirmed or up to 5 days before departure at the latest. We recommend that you action this as soon as possible in the event of any additional security checks being required. Please note passengers travelling on flights which will be refuelling in America are also required to complete this form.

The form can ONLY be completed by accessing the following website https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU COMPLETE THE ESTA REQUIREMENTS. SHOULD YOU FAIL TO DO SO YOU WILL BE DENIED ENTRY TO THE USA, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TRAVEL.    

Please note that a US Visa may not be automatically granted to persons with a police record however trivial the offence. US Authorities will carry out thorough background checks before issuing a visa (should one be required). If you are uncertain, please contact the American Embassy Visa Information Line on 0904 245 0100 (calls are charged at a premium rate).
