cruise.<\/strong>\u00a0A closed-loop cruise is one that departs from and returns to the same U.S. port. Such cruises don&#8217;t require a passport. However, you will need other documents as proof of identity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For any other cruise (open-loop cruises), a passport is mandatory, even if you are cruising within the U.S. states.

It is the largest U.S. state and lies in the extreme northwest of North America. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The state experiences hard and extremely cold temperatures for most of the year, and a cruise to Alaska is open only for 6 months, from May to October. November to December is extremely harsh, and ships cannot sail through. The days are shorter during these months.

If you are <strong>departing and returning to the same port<\/strong> (closed\u2011loop cruise) to certain destinations. You can provide documents like a birth certificate and government\u2011issued ID instead of a passport. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Where can I cruise without a passport?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You may take round-trip cruises from the U.S. ports to <strong>Alaska, Hawaii, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Mexico (Yucat\u00e1n &amp; Baja), Canada &amp; New\u202fEngland,<\/strong> and U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Is a passport card acceptable for a closed-loop cruise?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Yes!<\/strong> A U.S. passport card is enough for sea travel to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean ports. It is not valid for air travel.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do children need passports?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">U.S. children under 16 on closed\u2011loop cruises may travel with a birth certificate and photo ID. The cruise line policies vary by the cruise, so please double-check with the cruise. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do I need a passport for cruises that end in a different U.S state?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>Yes!<\/strong> One\u2011way itineraries or repositioning cruises that do not begin and end at the same U.S. port require a passport.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">My Thoughts on Cruising Without a Passport<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You sure can cruise to these destinations without a passport, but I wouldn&#8217;t advise it!

That will be a long, complicated process without a passport!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You should only cruise without a passport if you do not have one, or if you have already applied, but it will not arrive in time for your cruise. Every citizen must have a valid passport; if yours has expired, been lost, or you&#8217;ve never had one, please apply immediately so that you don&#8217;t have to worry about when travel opportunities come your way!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dreaming of sea breezes, endless horizons, and exotic ports is on most travelers&#8217; bucket lists.
