Other important information for entry into the USA is as follows:

• For all other nationalities, we strongly recommend you check to see if you are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program by visiting the US Embassy website www.usembassy.org.uk. If you are not eligible for this program, you should contact the US consulate or embassy to confirm your individual visa requirements.


It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with all the US entry conditions. Failure to meet these conditions will make you responsible for any repatriation costs or airline fines you may incur. If you are uncertain please contact the US Embassy helpline on 090 4245 0100 (premium call rate). You will also be able to check if you require a visa for the USA at www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/visa_wizard.html.

ESTA - Electronic System for Travel Authorisation


ESTA is an automated online system introduced by U.S Homeland Security, used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to the USA under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and whether such travel poses any law enforcement or security risk. Please note, you will be unable to enter the USA under the VWP unless you have obtained an ESTA prior to travel. Important - you must be in possession of your ESTA prior to boarding the ship and we recommend that you carry a copy of the confirmation as evidence for immigration purposes.


Obtaining ESTA approval, for most travellers, will be simple and easy. To apply for your ESTA, please visit the ESTA website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. A third party, such as a relative or


Travel Agent, is permitted to submit an ESTA application on behalf of a VWP traveller. From 8 September 2010 the cost of obtaining an ESTA will be USD14.00, this fee is subject to change at any time. All payments must be made using a credit card or debit card. Please note the Department of Homeland Security website only accepts MasterCard, VISA American Express and Discover. Please do not use any other website as they may charge you a higher fee for the same service.


Once you have obtained your ESTA approval, you will be given the option to print a copy for your records. We will require a copy of this approval to assist with obtaining immigration clearance in the United States, and would ask that you therefore present this document at voyage check-in along with your passport. The ESTA travel authorisation is not a visa. It does not serve in lieu of a US visa when a visa is required under US law. Individuals that possess a valid visa will still be able to travel to the United States on that visa for the purpose it was issued. Individuals travelling on valid visas will not be required to apply for an ESTA. As part of your ESTA application, you will be required to provide biographical data including name, birth date, and passport information. An approved ESTA travel authorisation is:


• Valid for up to two years or until the travellers passport expires, whichever comes first


• Valid for multiple entries into the Unites States


• Not a guarantee of admission to the Unites States at any port of entry. ESTA approval only authorises a traveller to board a carrier for travel to the Unites States under the VWP. In all cases immigration officers make admission decisions at our ports of entry. (For additional information, please visit “Know Before You Go” at www.cbp.gov/travel.)


If you do not receive an ESTA approval you may be denied boarding, experience delayed processing, or be denied admission at a US port of entry.


When joining the liner in the United States, US Immigration require guests to provide us with certain immigration details no later than 90 minutes before the liners scheduled departure time. Failure to do so will result in denied boarding. This information may be provided to us at check-in so long as this is done no less than 90 minutes prior to departure. We would prefer to have this information in advance and therefore ask you to submit these details on-line by visiting www.cunard.com and selecting Voyage Personaliser.
