Documentation
It is the responsibility of each passenger to have the appropriate documentation while traveling. Government/state issued picture identification is required for domestic travel, and a minimum of a valid passport for international travel. Passports must be valid for six (6) months after the return travel date and must contain a sufficient number of blank pages to attach any necessary visas for your trip. U.S. citizens must inquire with the appropriate consulate or visa agency about obtaining the proper visas for international travel. In some cases, U.S. citizens on cruises that begin and end at the same port in the United States can use a government-issued picture ID (i.e., driver's license) AND a government-issued birth certificate or original Naturalization Certificate. StarGaze Vacations Travel Agency strongly recommends traveling with a valid passport. See Disclaimer of Liability below.
Beginning May 7, 2025, the Real ID Act will take effect, which requires a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or identification card at airport security checkpoints. If the state-issued driver's license or identification card does not have the REAL ID compliant markings, the traveler may use a passport as an acceptable ID. Travelers without passports are responsible to ensure that their state-issued driver's license or identification card has the REAL ID compliant markings.
Check with the United States Department of State at www.travel.state.gov, not only for entry requirements into foreign countries and returns to the U.S., but also for any restrictions that may prevent you from entering into a foreign country. State Department travel warnings are also on this site, as discussed in more detail below. See Disclaimer of Liability below.
When a minor is traveling internationally without their legal guardian(s), there are specific parental consent and/or guardianship requirements. To ensure that you have all necessary documentation prior to any international travel involving a minor, please be sure to check with the United States Department of State at www.travel.state.gov. Failure to have appropriate documentation as to minor travelers may preclude them from traveling internationally. See Disclaimer of Liability below.
