If you do not receive an ESTA approval you may be denied boarding, experience delays, or be denied admission at a US port of entry.
Having obtained ESTA approval, international travellers, who are nationals of VisaWaiver Program (VWP) countries, may enter the USA without a visa after completing a US Department of Justice Form I-94W. You may check to see if you are eligible for this programme, or obtain further information, by visiting the US Embassy website in the UK at
http://www.usembassy.org.uk or by contacting them on 090 4245 0100 (premium call rate).
When joining the liner in the United States, US Immigration require guests to provide us with certain immigration details no later than 90 minutes before the liner’s scheduled departure time. Failure to do so will result in denied boarding. This information may be provided to us at check-in so long as this is done no less than 90 minutes prior to departure. We would prefer to have this information in advance and therefore ask you to submit these details online by visiting and selecting ‘Voyage Personaliser’.
Australia/China/India/Vietnam All guests whose voyage itinerary includes the countries listed above will need to obtain visas for each of these countries. We will send you full information on how to obtain these, including application forms, approximately 10 weeks prior to the voyage's departure in January. Guests participating in overland tours may require double-entry visas for some destinations, or additional visas, depending on their specific itinerary. Further information about this will be included in our general visa mailing.
If you decide to apply for your visa(s) through Cunard’s recommended agent you will have to pay an additional charge.
South America Guests who do not hold British Citizen and European passports may need to obtain visas for some South American countries. Failure to obtain the correct travel documentation can lead to hefty fines that will need to be paid by the guest. Please check that your visa requirements are in order before embarkation to avoid extra expense.

HEALTHMATTERS&VACCINATIONS
At the time of going to press no vaccinations are compulsory for any of the ports of call in this brochure but the Department of Health does however recommend vaccinations for certain countries visited on our voyages. Since these recommendations do change you should, in good time before departure, seek advice from your GP or ask your travel agent for a copy of the Department of Health’s ‘Advice on health for travellers’. Alternatively, you can find the location of your nearest MASTA travel medicine clinic at
www.masta.org
Malaria – Malaria transmission may occur in the following areas. We therefore recommend that guests seek advice from a travel clinic and, if advised, obtain prophylactic medications before joining their voyage:
2012World Voyages Queen Elizabeth 11 March – Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Queen Mary 2 12 March – Rabaul, Papua New Guinea
2012 Voyages Queen Victoria
10 January and 8 February – Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala
Guests are advised to seek advice from a recognised travel medicine clinic or their own medical practitioner with regard to their personal itinerary including pre- or post-voyage travel as immunisations and malaria advice/prophylaxis may be recommended.
We also recommend that guests give consideration to having immunisation for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Polio, Diphtheria and Tetanus. In view of the widespread destinations visited by Cunard and the frequent changes with respect to health risks, guests are strongly advised to review the advice for travellers in the Department of Health leaflets available from your doctor, ABTA travel agent or by telephoning: 0800 555777, online at
www.doh.gov.uk or by emailing:
