    ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

    We’ll provide a transfer from the airport to our ship/yacht or the hotel of your InnerSea Discoveries or American Safari Cruises stopover package as long as we have received your air travel information at least 72 hours in advance. Otherwise you will be expected to make your own arrangements for initial transfers. Make sure you have provided us with your flight numbers and flight departure and arrival times.


    If we have your arrival information and you're arriving on the day of your cruise, you'll be met at baggage claim by our representative. Your luggage will be taken directly to your yacht/vessel, and you will be taken to the hotel with our hospitality suite. You'll most likely then have some free time to explore your surroundings until meeting back again at the hospitality suite at an agreed-upon time. If you've made arrangements for a pre-cruise stopover, then you'll receive specific instructions on transfers with your final travel documents. Please make sure you've given us all applicable information regarding your arrival.


    On disembarkation day, you'll have one last laugh, and then you'll cry, and then you'll need to make it to your next destination. If you're flying out, then our representative will provide transfer to the airport. If you're making other post-cruise travel or hotel arrangements, you'll receive specific information on transfers with your final travel documents. Please make sure you've given us all applicable information regarding your departure.

    FLIGHTS

    You or your travel agent are responsible for booking your own flights to and from your home city for your un-cruise. We do, however, need the information on your flights (preferably 60 days prior to embarkation). To assist you in booking flights at the right time, contact our sales counselors or click here to view our required arrival & departure times.

    PASSPORT / IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

    U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. traveling exclusively inside U.S. borders do not need a passport of visa for travel. We only require a government-issued photo ID such as your driver’s license. We recommend making a photocopy of the photo ID page and taking it on your trip, separate from your passport. If your passport/identification is lost or stolen, the photocopy will help considerably for facilitating a replacement.


    Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada entering the U.S. are required to bring their passport. For other nationalities, passports are required to enter the U.S. It is your responsibility to check with your local. U.S. embassy/consulate to confirm visa requirements and to obtain the proper visa/U.S. alien card (green card).
