If you're a US citizen and planning to cruise to Alaska on a cruise that stops in Canada before summer 2008, you do not need a passport. You can also cruise to the Caribbean (except Barbados), Mexico and the Bahamas without a passport.

For any of the small ship cruises that sail only in Alaska, you do not need a passport.

The Department of Homeland security expects to announce the new date for requiring passports for all travel outside the US later this spring.

Do you need a passport when cruising to Alaska from Canada?

If you are a US resident and citizen, you will need a passport to fly to Canada. You will not need one if you are planning to drive from the US to the port in Canada. Until later in fall 2008, you also do not need a passport to travel by ship to Canada -- but you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID. Implementation of the regulations requiring passports for travel by land and ship to all countries, including Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, were postponed and a new date has not been established. It is expected the new implementation date will be in the fall, 2008.

Do you need a passport to take a cruise to cozumel?

If you are a US citizen, and the cruise ship departs and returns to the same US port, you will not need a passport to go on the cruise - as long as the cruise ship does not stop in any countries that require a passport for US citizens. If the ship is only cruising in Mexico, and returns to the same port from which it departed, you can board the ship with a certified copy of your birth certificate and a government issued photo id. It is much better, however, to have a passport. If, for example, there is an emergency and you have to leave the ship and fly home from Mexico, you will need a passport.
