If you are an EC citizen, valid passports or national Identity Cards will be sufficient for visits to EC countries. If you are not an EC citizen then you will need a valid passport.

All passengers need to have valid passports for visits to countries outside the EC, with validity 6 months after the date of your return.

If you hold a British Subject passport, please note this will not be sufficient for our Miami fly-cruises, and you could be denied boarding at the UK departure airport, unless you have the relevant/required visas, which are your responsibility to obtain. You must therefore be in possession of a valid British Citizen passport. 

Certain countries such as Russia will require you to have a visa if you wish to explore ashore on your own. If, however, you are taking a Fred. Olsen organised tour ashore then you will be covered by the group visa.

We strongly recommend that you check all documentary requirements for your cruise with your Travel Agent or with us on booking, in order to ensure you have the right documentation for your holiday.
