Is my UK passport valid for cruise travel?

You'll need a full British passport that's valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date (not counting any extra months beyond the 10-year issue date).

✅Quick checklist:

  • Is it a full passport? (Not an emergency travel document)
  • Does it have at least 6 months left when you get back?
  • Is it in date based on the 10-year rule?

⚠️It's your responsibility to make sure your passport's good to go, so dig it out now and check the dates - much easier than discovering an issue a few weeks before you sail!

💡Pro tip: If you need to renew, don't leave it to the last minute - passport processing can take several weeks.
