porky113 Posted April 23, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I have checked with all of the embassies for our cruise. I am not sure about Germany. If you are a Canadain Citizen you do not require Visa's for all the other port's. Estonia if coming by cruise ship or Ferry and only staying for 12 hours or less you do not require a Visa. Have a nice cruise we are doing the RCI Jewel of the Seas in June 09/04. Ed Bartlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is part of Schengenland, so has exactly the same requirements as Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway amongst other EU countries - and in fact there are no immigration controls when crossing from any Schengen country to any other. This page provides access via Delta Air Lines' website to the database (constantly updated) that airlines use to find out answers to the same questions. It's not official, but airlines can get fined big money if they carry people without visas who ought to have them, so it is a pretty reliable source.

ahti01 Posted April 24, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Estonian visa information from website of our Ministry of Foreign Affaires 3. Participants in organised excursions are allowed to enter Estonia for up to 12 hours based on a name list affirmed by the captain of the vessel and previously presented to the Estonian Border Guard Board. An organized excursion is a voyage on a vessel possessing a certificate for conveyance of passengers, that is not in regular liner traffic, does not transport goods and does not embark or disembark liner passengers. During the organized excursion the vessel shall before and after entering an Estonian port visit at least two foreign ports. This is regulation for all cruise ships for all citizens onboard of cruise ships visiting Estonia. Besides Canadians who are not from cruise shisps, can visit Estonia without visa from May 2004. I believe similar regulation works for cruise ships in other countries of Baltic sea as well (Russia and Poland must be exluded).

We're advised that Canadians no longer need Polish visas. Don't know whether one can count on the ship knowing that. Heddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyMG Posted May 5, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'm on the Princess to the Baltic in July, and just received a fax from Princess, saying Canadians no longer need to have visas for Poland. So, my guess is all the cruise lines know that by now. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasm8449 Posted May 17, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well, that's good news...we were going to skip getting off at Gdansk, as we didn't think it was worth $400US for the four of us for visas for a partial day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
