LATE BOOKINGS: Prospective customers are advised to reserve early to avoid disappointment and additional fees.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS:
It is the responsibility of each customer to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), and all other documents required by applicable government regulations.

Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities. Non-United States citizens may require additional documentation. See help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/aid/268/kw/travel and check with your local embassy or consulate. The US Customs and Border Protection Agency requires that for USA child groups under age 19 arriving by land or sea from contiguous territory and traveling with a school group, religious group, social or cultural organization, or sports team, may also present an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate.

(See:travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_4965.html) ENDLESS TRAVEL BIZ feels it is an invasion of privacy for any member of our staff to make such an inquiry. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, Americans with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record should always check whether current rules exclude admission, and potential waivers. (See:www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/inadmissibility/index.asp)
