Creator's Key Takeaways

There's nothing worse than arriving at a destination and being turned away because you don't have the correct travel documents.

I recommend either a current US passport book or a Real ID compliant driver's license.

One quick note for Alaska cruisers, you may want to consider a passport as ID since some of the excursions available to you might cross into Canada.

This is new for 2026, is if you are flying into and cruising from the United Kingdom, US citizens will need to apply for and obtain an ETA.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ensure your passport is valid at least 6 months beyond your planned return date.
✓Use a passport book for international travel or a birth certificate with a valid ID for closed-loop US cruises.
✓Check that the name on your travel reservation matches exactly with your travel identification.
✓Take extra photocopies of your passport for destinations that may require them.
