Imagine Cruising are pleased to recommend CIBT as their Passport & Visa service provider. You have been directed to this website where you can download and print the Visa Application Pack so as to obtain the correct travel visas and discounts  for your upcoming trip.


Travel & Health Information - Due to the ever changing information distributed by the World Health Organisation in relation to travel health requirements, Imagine Cruising strongly suggest all guests seek independent medical advice regarding any inoculations or health certificates that may be required for travel on their cruise. This can be obtained from your General Practitioner, Medical Centre or Travel Clinic.  They also strongly recommend that all guests visit the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office website to obtain the most up to date travel advice regarding the countries they will be visiting whilst on board.   The following websites are useful sources of information: General Travel Advice - www.fco.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice; Travel Health Advice - www.travelhealthpro.org.uk and www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk

Should you have any queries about your application you can contact CIBT by email at [email protected] or by calling 0207 593 6223.  Please identify yourself as an Imagine Cruising  guest to ensure you are provided with the correct visa information and specially discounted pricing.

China- Guests entering China on board an ocean cruise ship may not require a visa for up to 15 days provided Shanghai is the first seaport of call in China.  Guests with individual shore excursions and overland travel in China during the cruise are not eligible for this exemption. Guests must be arriving and departing China on board the same ship and must not visit other countries in between the Chinese seaports of call. Guests must go ashore in Shanghai prior to arriving in other Chinese seaports on their itinerary. Hong Kong is generally not considered a Chinese seaport. We would recommend submitting aplications 1 month before departure as validity is 3 months from the date of application. 

India  -You should have an India visa even if you do not plan on going ashore at any of the ports of call in India.  

USA -  If you have visited Cuba on or after 12th January 2021, you would NOT be eligible for an ESTA,  and would need to apply for a standard visa.
