Travel Documents & Visas
Ensuring you have the correct travel documents is essential for a smooth vacation experience. It is the guest’s sole responsibility to identify, obtain, and present all required travel documentation at the appropriate times. For international travel, this may include a passport, visa, ETA, or ESTA. Without the correct documents, entry to certain countries will be denied.
To avoid delays or additional costs, we recommend securing your travel documents well in advance. For specific requirements, consult the embassy or consulate of your destination or visit VisaCentral.
Please note: Travel restrictions and documentation requirements may vary depending on your citizenship. Refunds will not be issued for guests unable to travel due to incomplete or incorrect documentation.
