will I get seasick?
It’s highly unlikely that even the most motion sensitive people will suffer from seasickness on a river cruise which is why River Cruises are perfect for the Non-Cruisers. The rivers in Europe do not have much motion to them at all, and the river ships are extremely stable. If you are prone to suffering motion sickness from even the slightest movement on the water, try Sea Bands or take an over-the-counter motion sickness remedy. The good news is, 99% of river cruisers barely notice the ship is cruising – so you’ll probably be just fine. 
​
What travel documents will I need?
Proper travel documentation is required at airport when leaving the USA and throughout your vacation and is the responsibility of the guest.  Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the plane or vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued.
 
Required Travel Documentation:
You’re required to carry:
A Valid Passport (expiration date should be at least 6 months past your travel dates)

Passports for guests under 16 years old are valid for 5 years and for 16 years and older are good for 10 years so if you don’t have a passport it is a great investment for you and your family as it is required for all international travel and can be always be used as another accepted government approved ID for many other uses besides travel.  It is important that guest names on travel documents be identical to those on the cruise booking. 
Please check with your country of citizenship's consulate or state department for current information and travel requirements.  For more information on the proper travel documentation check out the Cruise Line’s website or the resources below.
 Resources:
U.S. Department of State Passport Information
U.S. Customs & Border Protection
CIBT Passport & Visa Services
(Third party company that is very helpful with passports and visa)
