Visas & Vaccinations
Your cruise holiday booking information will provide the latest visa and vaccination advice, depending on the ports of call for your chosen cruise.
Visas
Where visas are required for specific ports on certain cruises, we will highlight this information on your confirmation invoice.
It is the responsibility of all Non-British passport holders to ensure that they are in possession of a valid passport, and any necessary entry visa or permits for their chosen cruise.
If you are unsure of whether you are required to obtain such documents you MUST contact your travel organiser, or the relevant Embassy or Consulate for advice. Failure to comply with this request may result in refusal of carriage, or the imposition of individual fines by the local immigration authorities.
Special Passport Advice for St. Petersburg, Russia
Passengers on Fred. Olsen organised tours do not require a Russian Visa. If you intend to tour independently, or indeed step off the ship alone, a Visa MUST be obtained. We suggest that non-British citizens seek advice from their embassy or consulate. Private tours are available, which do not require a separate Visa application.

Please note this is an independent website and it is important to check with your travel organizer before making any Visa arrangements.
Passports, Visa and health requirements can be changed at any time. It is your own responsibiltiy to ensure that you check with a professionally qualified source and comply with such requirements.
Vaccinations
On some of our cruises you may require vaccination against Yellow Fever, but due to ever-changing health regulations we suggest that you contact your local GP approximately 12 weeks prior to departure for the most up-to-date information.
Further information can be obtained from the Medical Advisory Service for Travellers Abroad (MASTA).
Your General Health Ashore
Also, it is worth remembering that in some foreign countries general standards of hygiene, care and safety may differ from those in the UK. So, when visiting ashore, ‘common sense’ is the watchword, especially when choosing drinks or sampling the local cuisine.
