Which identification document: passport or identity card?

You usually need a valid identity card or passport to travel within the European Union. However, if you want to travel outside the European Union, you will always need a valid passport.

Some countries outside the EU have special requirements, such as the need for a visa or vaccination. It is therefore always advisable to find out in advance about the entry requirements of the respective country in order to determine which documents are required.

In any case, you should make sure that your identity document is valid for at least six months after the planned date of travel , as some countries have this requirement.

Identification document for children

Children also need a valid identification document for travel, especially when traveling abroad. As a rule, a child’s ID card or passport is sufficient for travel within the European Union.

However, if you are travelling outside the European Union, your child will always need their own valid passport.

It is allowed to bring a reasonable amount of personal belongings, including luggage, on board the ship. However, in order to ensure a pleasant stay and a smooth process, we recommend that you limit the number of items you carry to the essentials.

You have the option to bring your luggage on board yourself or check it in before embarkation. Suitcases, travel bags, backpacks, pouches, coat hooks, toiletry bags and similar items are accepted as baggage.

The carry-on baggage

In order for each piece of carry-on luggage to fit easily through the X-ray machines, you should make sure that it meets the size requirements. The size of the machines may vary depending on the port, but in general they are similar in size to the security checkpoints at airports.
