You are not allowed to take on board high percentage alcoholic beverages, irons, weapons of any kind, ammunition, explosive substances or other dangerous objects. Animals are not allowed on board. The only exception to this is service animals, provided that the keeper informs NCL prior to departure and assumes full responsibility for damage, injury or impairment caused by the animal, provided that it complies with applicable regulations.

Consider circumstances and occasions that could impact your travel experience, such as: school vacations, spring break, local holidays, special sports events etc. When choosing a cabin, please note what equipment your cabin should have (e.g. outside cabi, open balcony or balcony with steel edging) and that in cabins especially on the lower decks due to engine noises may be louder than in other cabins. The same applies to cabins near nightclubs, elevators and staircases, galleys, the fitness center, areas for children and teenagers and the use of tender boats.

All guests are responsible for ensuring that they are in possession of all relevant documents and visas for the entire cruise including all ports of call. Travelers from EU countries and Switzerland require a biometric passport that is valid for at least six months more after the end of the cruise (also applies to children of all ages). Please note that a passport is also required for cruises within Europe. (Exception: citizens of the Schengen states can travel with a valid identity card if the booked cruise does not leave the Schengen area.)
NCL informs the traveler about the passport, visa and health regulations prior to the contract is signed as well as any changes to them before the start of the cruise. Visit www.ncl.com/entry-requirements  for more information.
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), a system that controls travel authorization for the USA for a stay of up to 90 days, applies to all citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This stipulates that a travel authorization must be applied for via the Internet (https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/) before the intended entry into the USA in accordance with the VWP. The ESTA authorizations are valid for multiple entries within two years (or a shorter period if the passport expires earlier). This regulation therefore affects German, Austrian and Swiss citizens, among others. The US authorities charge a fee of US$ 21 per person (as of November 2022) for the travel authorization, which must be paid by credit card during the authorization process. More information is available at www.cbp.gov/esta. Please be sure to print the ESTA approval page when booking a transatlantic cruise as this must be presented at check-in. All travelers including children need an electronic passport to participate in the Visa Waiver Program. An electronic passport, recognizable by the corresponding symbol, is a passport with special security features and an integrated electronic chip. Electronic passports are issued by the relevant authority and must comply with international regulations on the protection and storage of passport and holder information. Visit https://www.cbp.gov/ for more information. Travelers whose passports does not meet the above requirements must present a visa upon entry into the United States. Please make sure to apply for a multiple entry visa.
Citizens of countries that are not subject to the VWP must check the individual regulations between their countries and the United States at their country's embassies to determine whether they need to apply for a United States tourist visa. Please note that visas can take up to three months to be granted.

Since October 15, 2016, citizens of countries that do not require a visa and who enter Canada by plane or whose flight connection includes a Canadian airport need to obtain a travel permit, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), for a fee of CAD7. The ETA is valid for five years or until the passport expires. Visit www.cic.gc.ca for more information.
Since October1, 2019, travelers who enter New Zealand must have an ETA, which can be applied for via the ETA App for NZ$9 or the Immigration New Zealand website for NZ$12 and is valid for two years.
Please note that entry and visa regulations can change at any time. The currently valid regulations can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/FDFA or the respective embassy. Your travel agency will also gladly inform you about the current visa requirements. The information given here is correct at the time of printing (November 2022). It is necessary to take a second identification document with a photo (e.g. identity card, driving licence) with you as your identification together with the boarding pass.
The Secure Flight Program of the American Transportation Security Administration (TSA) applies to international air traffic. The focus of the program is to reduce the number of misidentifications of passengers authorized to enter the USA and to increase air traffic security. As part of the Secure Flight Program, all airlines undertake to submit the following Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) of passengers arriving in and/or departing from the USA to be transmitted to the US Department of Homeland Security: full name as stated on the valid official identification document (including middle names, initials), date of birth, gender and redress number (if available). Therefore, please check the data listed on the confirmation carefully. If incorrect data appear on the confirmation, please contact our reservations department. If no customer information is available at the time of booking, NCL will use the data from the online check-in. For more information about the Secure Flight Program, visit http://www.tsa.gov/secureflight. Providing the Secure Flight data does not release you from the obligation to apply for an ESTA travel authorization or a visa if travelers are not covered by the VWP.
A visa may be required for some of the destinations  for the cruises presented on pages 30-31, 42-43 and 46-47. You can find more information on the website of the visa and passport service provider CIBTvisas (http://ncl.cibtvisas.de/), where which you can also request the visa for a fee.

Generally, the NCL ships dock at the pier. In some ports, this is not possible, here the ships at anchor and offer guests a free shuttle service by tender boat.
 

The onboard currency is the US $. Aboard the NCL ships, however, it is not necessary to carry cash at all times. On the day of arrival, an on-board account will be opened for you, through which all expenses will be settled cashlessly. It is recommended that you deposit a credit card (for example, VISA®, MasterCard®, or American Express®). Important: Please note that when using your credit card to open up the onboard account, a release from your bank will be obtained. Some banks hold this authorization for up to 30 days. During the cruise, the authorization amount increases with your expenses on board. This can affect the credit and cash availability of your onboard account. EC cards cannot be accepted on board unfortunately. In the event that you cannot deposit a credit card, you will be asked to pay US $ 300 per person (on 7-day cruises), US $ 150 per person (cruises up to 6 days) or US $ 450 per person (on cruises from 8 days) (subject to changes). On board you sign the bills for your personal expenses, which will then be charged to your onboard account.
Checks and currencies other than US $ cannot be accepted on board. The only exceptions are ships on routes in Europe: Here, if no credit card can be presented, advance payments in euros are possible. For a prepayment in euros of the above US $ amounts, a possible balance will be refunded in US $. An exchange in Euro is then only possible for a commission.
It is recommended that you carry smaller amounts of money in the appropriate national currency when going ashore. Travel checks and all major credit cards are accepted at most ports of call.
