Passports & Visas

PASSPORT
If you have not already given these to us, we need your passport details as soon as possible. It is essential that the enclosed Passenger Information Form (green) is completed straight away for every person included in your booking. It is also very important that you supply your forenames (given names) exactly as they appear on your passport, and not just your initials. We don't want to waste your valuable excursion time queuing in immigration halls, and this information is sent to each port of entry in advance of our arrival to clear the way. Please also quote your Booking Reference Number as displayed on your booking confirmation. For our own records it would also help if you would give your "known name" - the name you prefer to use, e.g. Bill rather than William.
Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months beyond the final date of your holiday, so check the expiry date of yours now. If your passport has expired or runs out soon get it renewed right away. Please don't leave your application for a new one to the last minute.
For your convenience, passenger's passports are held at the Purser's office throughout the bible land tour to expedite immigration processing when the ship arrives in foreign ports.
VISAS
If you hold a passport other than a British (or EU) passport you will need to make your own enquiries with the relevant consulates or embassies about visa requirements for your chosen itinerary. This should be done in plenty of time to avoid last minute delays.
