We have an important message to share regarding travel documentation requirements for Martinique.<\/p>\n
Officials in Martinique have informed us that all cruise visitors to the island must have a valid passport in order to go ashore. This requirement will be strictly enforced by local authorities. If you do not already have a passport, we encourage you to obtain one before your voyage.<\/p>\n
