Luxury Cruises | Regent Seven Seas Cruise | Brown & Keene Travel

Please remember it is extremely important to secure your visa prior to arrival for embarkation. Guests who change their embarkation or disembarkation port from the RSSC scheduled port should research the foreign entry requirements for that country. Regrettably, due to government regulations, Regent Seven Seas Cruises will have to deny boarding to any guest who fails to have the appropriate visas and/or travel documentation.

For Non - U.S. Passport Holders: These guests should check with their local country's consulates or Zierer Visa Service on requirements for both blanket visas and individual entry visas. Entry requirements are subject to change at any time without advance notice from various governments.

For U.S. and Canadian Passport Holders: The requirements noted herein are for U.S. and Canadian passport holders who reside in the United States only. Please review the information to determine which countries require a visa and how those visas may be obtained. If you are a U.S. or Canadian passport holder residing in the U.S., and an independent visa is required, guests may download and print visa applications for any upcoming Regent Seven Seas cruise. Log onto www.zvs.com/rssc or call (800)843-9151.

It is the responsibility of each guest to obtain the proper Visas, Passports and Inoculations for their cruise. Regent Seven Seas cruises will provide information only, but be aware that individual countries have been known to change regulations without notice. Immunizations and health requirements vary by country. As these may also change without notice, we suggest you consult with your physician or local health department or contact the Center for Disease Control and Prevention at 1(800)232-4636 for the latest information.

BLANKET VISAS

The following countries require visas, but are taken care of directly by RSSC through a ship's blanket visa:

Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Myanmar, Oman, Tanzania and Vietnam
Israel: A landing card is issued for guests on board the ship.

Again, no action is required from our guests for these blanket visas unless they are changing the embark/disembark date or port.
