To take a voyage on a cruise ship, certain rules must be followed. You will need to have a number of specific documents with you. And if everything is relatively simple with a river cruise, then for a trip on a sea liner the list will be longer.
Documents must be in the passenger’s hands upon boarding the cruise ship. In the absence of the necessary papers, admission to the ship may be denied, and monetary compensation in this case is not provided.
What documents are needed on a cruise
You need to have your boarding pass with you, which also has another name – «cruise ticket». You will also need medical insurance to participate in a cruise.
To participate in a sea cruise, you need a foreign passport, and its validity must be at least six months from the date of completion of the voyage. Depending on which countries the cruise ship will sail through, appropriate visas will be required. They must indicate the length of stay in the country and the number of entries.
Other documents may also be required, plus a certain number of free pages for stamping when entering and leaving states.
Cruise ticket (boarding pass)
This document contains basic information about the tourist, as well as the route, dates, boarding and disembarking times, and so on. The document is provided by the traveler during check-in at the port terminal. If a person is traveling in a company with other people, then one cruise voucher is issued per cabin and each passenger is issued an onboard cruise card.
Health insurance
This document is issued for the entire period of the tourist’s stay abroad. It is worth taking out travel insurance for a cruise at the same time as visas, and you can choose the amount at your discretion.
