Visas required for Med cruise?

[cruisy yogi]

Hello! This is for you seasoned Med cruisers. We will be traveling to France, Italy, and Malta round trip from Barcelona. All of us are US citizens. Do we need visas for entry into any of these countries? The cruise line hasn't been very helpful and I just can't find solid info online, so I'm depending on your past experience. Thanks in advance!

We did not need visas for our cruise in fall of 2012 and we visited all of the countries you listed.

Don't count on the cruise line, or a TA if you are using one...

 

The onus is on YOU to know if you need a visa or not.

 

That info is readily available on the websites of the places you're visiting...

 

You can google it, and get the info you need...

 

Here is a link for Malta

Link to countries in the Schengen area:

there's the info you'll need....

 

google is your friend....as is the US Department of State website...

Cruised Med. Twice. No Visa needed

NO Visa reqd, I agree, been there several times. China Vietnam SE Asia are bad about it but they do it aboard ship to prevent a hassle but the Vietnamese came in military uniform which brought back some bad memories.
