Entry requirements for the USA


To comply with new laws in the United States, all travellers to the USA are now required to provide the following information to their airline:


• Passenger’s full name as it appears on their passport (including any middle name(s))


• Date of birth • Gender • Redress number where applicable^.


^A redress number is a number which passengers who have previously encountered misidentification when flying or attempting to fly in or to the United States can apply for in the US so as to avoid future problems.


For guests who have booked a Fly-Cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line, we need to collect this information on the airline’s behalf. Please provide the information for each guest on the booking (including children and infants), at your earliest convenience, as failure to do so will mean you cannot download your travel documents.


This information can be provided by completing Online Check-In at www.ncl.co.uk/advanceregister or by calling our Guest Services team on 0845 201 8907.

Please note, the provision of SFPD is a separate requirement to the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation or ESTA .


ESTA


All visitors to the United States (U.S.) including children who are eligible for the Visa Waiver


Programme (VWP) must apply for authorisation to travel to the U.S. in advance in accordance with the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA).


You must complete an online application for authorisation to travel on the ESTA website https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta at least 72 hours before your flight or sailing to the US departs but you are recommended to apply earlier. Providing the application is accepted, you will be provided with approval via the website. Approval is usually provided very quickly but can take up to 72 hours if data needs to be checked. You should make a note of the ESTA approval number when you receive it.


It is your responsibility to obtain ESTA approval or a U.S. visa if required. If you fail to obtain authorisation to travel through the ESTA website or a U.S. visa in advance of travel, you will not be allowed on your outbound flight or sailing to the U.S. Full cancellation charges will then apply.


Important note


Not all visitors to the U.S. will qualify for the ESTA. You cannot apply for the ESTA and will require a visa if you do not have a machine readable passport. All burgundy coloured U.K. passports are machine readable. You will also need to apply for a visa if you have ever been arrested (even if you were not convicted of an offence) or have a criminal record of any description. Other exemptions also apply. If you are in any doubt as to whether you may require a visa, please contact the US Embassy, Consular Information Unit, 24 Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE or visit the website www.usembassy.org.uk before making your booking with us. Visa requirements may change.
