Are you Passport Ready?

August 02, 2026 by Nita Rodriguez |

Fellow travellers, here are some pro-tips for passports:

  • Make a paper copy of your passport to carry off ship or outside your hotel. Meanwhile, passport stays safe in your safe
  • Take a picture of your passport, email it to yourself, and store in an password safe directory on your phone or on the cloud.
  • Renew your passport at least 6 months before it expires. Many countries do not allow entry if passport expires in 6 months or less. Mark your calendar 8 months before expiration date to remind you when to start the process.
  • Although some closed-loop cruise sailings do not require a passport, don’t travel without one. Emergencies happen. It’s better to be safe, and not become stranded in another country.
  • Children under 16 receive passports that are only valid for 5 years, not 10.
  • Some countries require 2-4 blank passport pages for entry stamps and visas. Do you have enough?
  • Sign your passport as soon as you get it!

CHALLENGE! Take 30 seconds today and check:
✅ Expiration date
✅ Blank pages
✅ Is it signed?
✅ Is it stored somewhere safe?
