What is Canva? A guide to the graphic design platform's features and capabilities

You can click to change each element separately, including the background color, this way. As we've already explained, Canva's design process breaks things down into elements. To change the image element, you can click on the template's image and hit the delete key. Now, if you click on the Photos menu on the left, you can see the photography available to you within Canva.

How to curve text in Canva's graphic design software using built-in tools

If you click the three-dot "More" menu at the top right of your screen, you'll see even more advanced options to change the transparency of the text and where it is positioned on the design. Then you can overtype the pre-loaded text with your own choice of wording. Once you've clicked the text element, you'll also see all your text editing options appear along the top of your screen. The Canva concept came from Perkins, who realized there was a gap in the market for an easy-to-use graphic design platform. As a commerce and communications student at the University of Western Australia, Perkins was frustrated by how complicated and hard to learn mainstream design software was. You can create design content for the special occasions and memorable moments in your life using the free platform too.

This opens the template in a new editing window, which has your design on the right of the screen, your editing options in a bar on the left of your screen, and your download and share options to the top right. In addition, there is the choice to create your own Instagram post from scratch using a blank template, but we're going to use one of the pre-made templates. To open a template for editing, simply click on it and then click "Use this template."

How to create a custom PowerPoint template to use or share with others

Canva is a free graphic design platform that allows you to easily create invitations, business cards, flyers, lesson plans, Zoom backgrounds, and more using professionally designed templates. You can do a keyword search to find a suitable image, select from your "Recently used" photos, or scroll through the trending images for inspiration. There are a generous amount of free options, as well as others only available to Canva Pro users.

How to use Canva: A simple guide to the graphic design platform

For free Canva users, this is whether you want to download your creation as a PNG, JPG, PDF, or GIF file. Use the drop-down menu to change from the default PNG option. Once you've signed up for a Canva account, you're ready to start designing. From the home page, hover over the "Templates" menu and a window will pop up with popular options. Once you've made a Canva creation, the platform makes it very simple to download it to your computer, share it with others, and, in some cases, post it directly to other websites.

What are the paid-for Canva options?

It's a graphic design platform lets you create everything from Instagram posts to business logos, for absolutely no cost. Using it is simple and painless thanks to all the preloaded templates, images, fonts, and graphics, and it offers a very well-designed, intuitive, user interface. All you need to use it is to sign up with Google, Facebook, or an email address.

There are plenty of personal graphic design options on the Canva platform, as well. In some cases, you can save money by making your own personalized versions of products you'd normally have to buy. If you click on the small square, you'll see the same color menu appear as for the text color options, allowing you to choose from existing colors in your design, or add in fresh new ones.

With this free tool available to everyone, there is no excuse for sub-standard social media posts ever again. Below the "New color" picker tool, Canva gives you exact matches of colors that are in your design. This includes a selection of colors that already appear in your document, and even more cleverly, colors picked out from any image you're using, even if it's one you've uploaded yourself. On a basic level, you can use Canva's pre-made templates to make a business card, to create your resume, and to write professional-looking letters. Next, should this suit your design, you can add in some free icons and shapes.

Going "Pro" allows you to create a "Brand Kit" to upload your own fonts, brand color palette, and logos to use across the entire Canva platform. You’ll also get access to Canva's impressive "Magic Resize" tool, which, with a couple of clicks, allows you to change a post you've created for Twitter, for example, to a perfectly sized Facebook post. Other templates that professionals from all kinds of industries might find useful are presentations, invoices, business letterheads, logos, proposals, flyers, brochures, newsletters, and flyers, among many, many others.

This includes shapes, arrows, lines, frames, stickers, and a whole, huge selection of themed graphics. Once you click on what you'd like to add, these will appear on your design. You can position them where you want them, resize them by grabbing a corner and making them larger or smaller, or in some cases look for that small color square at the top of the screen to change their color.

We're creating a standard Instagram post, so that's what we click on to see the templates available to us. Along the top of the screen, you will see trending search terms, in this instance coronavirus, food, sale, birthday, and summer. There is also a color menu you can click on to narrow down the search results to search your preferred palette.

Admission to Huncho Day is free, but attendees are required to RSVP via this link. After “Weakest Link” dropped, Saweetie seemingly responded to the track with a post warning that she’d be getting back in the booth. Huncho House will hold a series of soft openings starting on Friday, Aug. 12, but it’s already been listed as one of the greater D.C. Area’s most-anticipated restaurants, as the Route 1 corridor continues to be a foodie haven. The repost is an image of Thugga staring straight into the camera, reminiscent of the gesture seen throughout the mockumentary sitcom, The Office. Elsewhere in “Weakest Link,” CB addresses the looming cloud that continues to hover over him regarding his 2009 assault of Rihanna.

The “Sensational” singer even brings up Quavo’s own incident with the aforementioned Bay Area rapstress that was caught on camera in an elevator. Of all, what seems to have listeners debating if Breezy went too far, is a line about Quavo swapping places with his late nephew and Migos rapper, Takeoff. CB — who proudly waves the red flag — comes in hot, downplaying Quavo’s moniker “Huncho” and declaring that the Rocket Power rapper isn’t even a boss. He also goes as far to say that Qua was never the best Migos out of the group, while also claiming that he slept with Saweetie while she was dating the rapper. Dorzon then studied at the Culinary School at the Art Institute of Washington and in Sicily, eventually working as head chef for an upscale Houston restaurant and winning several Food Network competitions hosted by Fieri. In Chris Brown‘s treacherous diss, he claimed that he slept with Saweetie while she was dating Quavo, and referenced the “Hotel Lobby” rapper’s own physical altercation with the “Icy” star.

Tobias Dorzon

Chris Brown really one of the craziest triple threats in music I’ve seen,” one person said on X. As they say, there’s truly no rules in rap beef, but the Takeoff line may have been a bit too much for some to stomach. Takeoff, né Kirsnick Khari Ball, was shot and killed in Houston in Nov. 2022 in front of Quavo outside of a Billiards and Bowling establishment. In this year’s Tournament of Champions, Dorzon finished third in the country overall. Executive  Head Chef Tobias Dorzon’s love for food stems from cooking in the kitchen with his West African father during his childhood. His father traveled from West Africa and raised Tobias in Maryland where he was able to immerse his upbringing and culture into nurturing his culinary skills.

Quavo unleashes a flurry of disses in response to Chris Brown’s diss track “Weakest Link”. Quavo first premiered the song through DJ Akademiks' stream on April 22nd, 2024. In the song, Quavo references Chris Brown’s violent, abusive history, losses to multiple rappers, and him being a exotic dancer.

Since 2018, the rapper and philanthropist has partnered with Legends to host the family-friendly event and celebrity football game to give back to his community. For the first time, this year’s event, taking place on April 28 at his alma mater Berkmar High School in Lilburn, will feature basketball and football youth clinics sponsored by the Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta Falcons. The Gwinnett County native’s seventh annual sports event will expand its scope to include both football and basketball exhibition games and a greater focus on Quavo’s advocacy for reducing gun violence.

Huncho Day will also include a social impact hub, powered by Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund. The new hub will include a variety of civic and community organizations that’ll provide resources to the Atlanta community, primarily centering gun violence prevention. Those organizations are the Tender Foundation, Live Free, HOPE Hustlers, Community Justice Action Fund and more. Sponsored by the rapper’s nonprofits ― Quavo Cares and the Rocket Foundation — this year’s Huncho Day will benefit Rocket Camp, a 10-week summer violence intervention program for youth ages 13-17.

Brandy made by the distillation of wine or fermented fruit. Any licensee holding a Winegrowers License (Type 02) may apply for a wine sales event permit. For further information regarding a wine sales event permit, please see our Wine Sales Event Permits page. This type of license is frequently referred to as a “distilled spirits rectifier’s license”, which is incorrect since the license also permits the rectification of wine. This licensee may sell distilled spirits and wine without the need for any other license, but they may not sell wine to a person who does not hold a license that also authorizes the sale of distilled spirits. A rectifier may also elect to function as a distilled spirits wholesaler, but when doing so, they must comply with all of the provisions applicable to a distilled spirits wholesaler (BPC § 23371).

Furthermore, the reputation of a cruise line can be affected by how it handles and communicates during a hurricane. Strong and transparent communication with passengers is crucial to maintain trust and ensure customer satisfaction. Cruise lines that effectively manage the situation and prioritize passenger safety are more likely to maintain a positive reputation even amidst the challenges posed by hurricanes. Furthermore, cruise lines often provide access to external communication channels, including internet services and satellite phones. This allows passengers to stay in touch with family and friends ashore and receive updates from their loved ones, providing an additional layer of reassurance during uncertain times.

What it's like if your cruise is extended because of a hurricane?

In this article, we will explore what happens to cruise ships during hurricanes and how the industry prepares for these natural disasters. Cruise lines prioritize passenger safety during stormy weather by utilizing various communication methods. They provide regular updates, use emergency systems, and instruct passengers on safety procedures. The captain works closely with the crew, assigning specific duties and ensuring effective communication.

With a focus on safety, communication, and adaptability, cruise lines take proactive measures to mitigate potential risks and ensure the well-being of passengers and crew. During a hurricane, the cruise line’s shore-side team also plays a crucial role in communication. The team monitors the storm’s progress and works closely with the ship’s captain and crew to make decisions regarding itinerary changes or other necessary measures. As the situation evolves, updates are relayed to the ship for dissemination to passengers, ensuring that they receive the most up-to-date information. Technological advancements and storm avoidance innovations have greatly improved cruise ship navigation. Advanced weather monitoring systems, satellite communication, and real-time radar allow captains to detect and avoid storms, ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers.

Seamanship Skills in Challenging Conditions

Together, they monitor the ship’s systems, adjust navigation plans, and implement safety protocols. Cruise ships are made of heavy steel that’s even heavier with a full load of passengers and crew onboard. Thankfully, when storms and hurricanes do develop, cruise lines often have time to plan.

During the Carnival Sunshine Storm Incident, the response of both passengers and crew members played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of everyone on board. It is essential to assess how human factors and safety procedures come into play during such incidents. In the case of the Carnival Sunshine Storm Incident, it is important to note that storms can be unpredictable and can escalate rapidly. While cruise ships are equipped with advanced weather monitoring systems, unexpected changes in weather patterns can still pose a significant risk.

With her family legacy deeply intertwined with Carnival Cruise Line, she's poised to continue making waves in the entertainment and travel industry. This role opens doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and experiences that will further solidify her place within the Carnival community. Cassidy's involvement in the christening ceremony not only cements her connection with Carnival but also sets the stage for exciting ventures and achievements on the horizon. Rest assured, cruise lines are held accountable and maintain safety records to provide a comfortable and secure experience. Crew training and passenger responsibilities also play a crucial role in ensuring everyone’s well-being during stormy situations.

One day it might look like your ship will be clear of any issues, and the next, it looks like you're stuck. In those cases, the ship may dock at an alternative port, possibly one you didn’t expect to visit; change the order of the ports that are on the itinerary; or seek a sunny spot at sea. Cruise lines are adept at handling these situations and outline this possibility for guests, along with their policies for how they handle them. If this happens to you, talk to the cruise line directly about refunds or other means of recompense—especially if your ship’s return to its homeport needs to be delayed and affects your flights home.

You could have a different itinerary

However, you may be entitled to refunds on prepaid port taxes or fees when ports are missed. Hurricane season in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean officially runs from June 1 through November 30. Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian resulted in hundreds of itinerary changes, and some cancellations as well. If you have a high-risk pregnancy for any number of reasons, such as prior preterm labor or preexisting conditions, it might be advisable by your doctor not to cruise. The competency displayed by the Disney Fantasy crew and the Coast Guard personnel and units involved made all the difference,” said Ensign Michael Riccio, Coast Guard Sector San Juan operations unit leader. Each vessel in the Carnival fleet typically has a chosen godmother for its naming ceremony, a cherished tradition.

Numerous ships were impacted, both during their sailings and upon returning to Florida

The Carnival Sunshine Storm Incident serves as a reminder of the importance of continuously evaluating and improving ship design to enhance safety measures. Meanwhile, rescue vessels were dispatched to assist in the evacuation of passengers if necessary. The crew’s training and preparedness were put to the test as they worked diligently to keep everyone safe.

The East Pacific hurricane season is oft-overlooked because there are simply more people cruising in Caribbean hurricanes than on the Mexican Riviera. However, if you are planning a cruise to Hawaii and the western coast of Mexico are also hit by hurricanes and are monitored in just the same manner by weather experts and cruise lines. Passengers on Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship Disney Wish had their four-night sailing out of Port Canaveral extended by a day when the ship could not return to port and instead found calmer seas to hang out in.

Regulators and industry stakeholders must work together to establish and enforce robust safety requirements. The findings from these audits should be used as a basis for implementing corrective actions and enhancing safety protocols. Despite the challenging circumstances, many passengers also shared stories of camaraderie and support among fellow travelers, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of adversity. Stay tuned to Cruise Hive for further updates and itinerary changes as they are confirmed through the weekend. The last day of Norwegian Cruise Line’s 164,998-gross-ton, Breakaway-Plus-class Norwegian Escape‘s current sailing has been turned into a sea day, with the call on Great Stirrup Cay cancelled.

While originally intended to visit Princess Cays and Nassau, the ship's team deemed that due to high winds and rough seas, safely docking in The Bahamas was not possible. Despite no longer being within hurricane season, this is a great reminder for all cruisers, as flexibility is of utmost importance, regardless of when your cruise is scheduled. Inclement weather off the coast of Florida delayed and rerouted numerous ships over the weekend, impacting thousands of passengers. Hurricanes in the Caribbean seasons are often easy to track, so finding a hurricane-free embarkation area should be simple. Although the exact paths and initial development of individual hurricanes are hard to predict, the season is generally busiest between mid-August and mid-September.

From the savory Petite Beef Filet to the aromatic Thai Coconut Red Curry and the fresh flavors of the Hawaiian Poke Bowl, each dish promises to take your dining experience to new heights. What’s even better is that these entrées can be paired with a variety of sides and sauces, allowing you to customize your meal to perfection. Whether you prefer a classic combination or want to explore new flavor profiles, the new entrée pairings are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

More dire situations, such as the incident on the Disney Fantasy, can require medical evacuation by helicopter. While cruise ship medical facilities are robust, they are not equipped to handle the proper care for a premature baby. As such, the pregnancy policies are in place to help minimize the chance of women going into premature labor and delivering a baby that requires complex medical care. Essentially, a cruise ship does not have a NICU onboard to care for an extremely premature baby.

Kontiki Expeditions owns 2x yachts (9-cabin/18-passenger/10-crew each) and operates two 8-day Ecuadorian coastal itineraries - "The Toquilla Expedition" and "The Spondylus Expedition". The voyages are themed on wildlife viewing (seabirds, animals, flora), indigenous foods, professional onboard wellness program, culture/traditions and support to local communities. "MS The Njord" is a newbuild (superyacht-like ship) with length 282 m, width 34 m and draught 8 m.

Many activities and land tours are additionally (optionally) offered in ports of call along the ship's itinerary route. Its 2024 vacation-by-air itineraries started at $135,000 for a 16-day Asia tour. Demand has been growing, he said, "signaling that luxury travelers are looking for immersive, exclusive, end-to-end travel journeys that allow them to explore the world with their favorite brands." The cruising arm of Ritz-Carlton has been in operation for just a bit over a year, and the jury still is out on where it ranks in the pantheon of luxury cruise brands. The line notably struggled to get off the ground after years of construction delays for its first and only ship.

Activities could include anything from wildlife-watching to spelunking, photography and even submarine rides. Luxury cruise lines don’t just offer a more upscale experience; they set themselves apart with a distinct offering that you won’t be able to find in a mainstream cruise. Some lines focus on smaller ships, impeccable service and inclusive fares.

Star Travel Cruise plans short-breaks from homeports in China to ports in Japan and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia). The liner Piano Land (ex P&O Oriana) started operations in August 2019. Ocean Residences (2020-founded) plans to start operations in 2024 with a single vessel (MS The Njord). Ocean Residences is a new brand with chief executives Kristian Stensby (President-CEO), Alain Gruber (operations CEO) and Patrick Webster (financial CEO). The company is fully-owned by Saudi Arabia's PIF (Public Investment Fund) and planned to operate Red Sea itineraries targeting mainly foreign tourists with culture-themed coastal voyages leaving roundtrip from Jeddah. The UK-based company currently charters the tall-sailing ship Golden Horizon (Flying Clipper).

Carnival Venezia

CHEAPEST brands (aka mass-market/mainstream) offer good product at affordable prices. Typical passengers are a mix of veterans and first-timers, many kids and couples in their 50s. Ships are large-sized (over 3000 passengers), providing large resort-like experience. Examples include Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL, MSC, Costa, Holland America, AIDA, TUI. Romantic types will love Windstar's three vessels with sails — a relative rarity.

Carnival Vista

Below, we look at the top three cruise line stocks with the best value, fastest growth, and best performance. High-end Aman Resorts and Orient Express plan to launch their own luxury cruises in 2027 and 2026, respectively. The company has also found "tremendous success" in its private jet-based "cruises," Alejandro Reynal, the president and CEO of Four Seasons, told BI in a statement. While not a luxury cruise line, Royal Caribbean's popular three-floor townhouse on the new Icon of the Seas is being booked at an average of $100,000 a week — although it's about four times smaller than Four Seasons' largest. Four Seasons plans to expand its high-end hotels and resorts portfolio with a luxury 222-guest cruise ship. Its six vessels carry just 148 to 342 passengers — fewer than fit on a single big-ship lifeboat — and are wonderfully intimate.

The choice of roughly one in five cruisers, Carnival Cruise Line's ships are notoriously lively, flashy and packed with fun features such as water parks with multiple waterslides. The self-described "fun ship" line is the king of short, affordable, fun-focused cruises from U.S. ports to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico and beyond. There are more than two dozen lines marketing to North Americans — no two alike.

Caribbean

The list of brands includes everything from giant companies such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line, which are household names, to lesser-known small operators such as Windstar Cruises. You can expect gourmet dining and premium drinks, upmarket cabins and suites with high-end features and services (think personal butler service), and decadent spas. Rates will most likely include a wide range of services and perks, such as free Wi-Fi, shore excursions and unlimited dining in specialty restaurants. Common river cruise destinations include Europe, Southeast Asia and the Mississippi. River cruises offer a more intimate, relaxed way of exploring multiple destinations in just a few days. All Carnival cruises go to great spots — what sets each ship apart is how it gets you there.

(No 1) Carnival Corporation & plc (1972-founded American-Panamanian company) is the world's largest cruise shipowner, with 1/2 share of the market. The company is dual-listed (as Carnival Corp and Carnival plc), Southampton-headquartered, has a combined fleet of 100+ ships, 160,000+ berths, 10,000+ employees, ~75,000 crew, USD 38,9 billion in assets, USD 16,4B revenue (data 2016). Carnival's major stock-holder is the company founder's Arison family (47%). The following small ship cruise companies (and cruise ferry lines) are well-known brand names. The cruise line is a passenger shipping company operating privately-owned, parent-owned or chartered vessels. Cruise brands differ from ferry companies, which operate Ro-Ro ships and offer combined passenger and cargo shipping services on a limited number of routes and in just a few regions/destinations.

As with other luxury lines, Seabourn offers a wide range of itineraries around the globe. It also recently jumped into more adventurous, expedition-style cruising with two new 264-passenger vessels designed to operate in polar regions such as Antarctica and the Arctic. With just four ships, each holding fewer than 700 passengers, Azamara is one of the smallest players in the cruise business.

Popular with middle-aged couples, retirees and multigenerational families, the "Love Boat" line's ships aren't as flashy (or big, for the most part) as those of Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, and that's just the way its customers like it. Just bear in mind that each cruise line company will cater to a specific demographic group. A few are adults-only, while others are very much geared towards families and groups.

Every one of our ships features its own unique twist on Carnival-style fun. Considered one of the most recognized cruise lines in the world, Princess is continually evolving. Apollo is one of the world's largest private investment companies (over USD 37 billion in assets, USD 16B in companies, headquartered in NYC). The firm specializes in private equity funds (buyout transactions, and purchasing distressed securities), and capital markets (with hedge funds and real estate funds, corporate restructuring, and consolidations).

This France-based line is a specialist in expedition cruising, a type of cruising that involves traveling to remote, hard-to-reach places on small, hardy vessels that carry their own landing craft. Like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, MSC Cruises operates big, resort-like vessels that appeal to a broad audience. Among the highlight of its cruises in North America are stops at its new private island in the Bahamas, the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. A giant of cruising in Europe, Switzerland-based MSC Cruises is making a big play for North Americans with newer, bigger ships sailing year-round from Florida to the Caribbean and Bahamas.

Corporate cruise line ownership - who are the owners of all cruise brands. As this is a very long survey, for your convenience next links jump down directly to largest cruise corporations (shipowners), list of ALL cruise lines, RIVER travel brands and NEW brands. The cruise line industry is part of the broader travel and tourism industry, focused primarily on providing sea-based vacation experiences. Companies in the industry own and operate cruise ships in various destinations worldwide, offering a variety of itineraries and themed cruises. The big cruise line companies include Carnival Corp. and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

Unlike ocean liners, expedition cruises are small and have flexible schedules that adapt to the weather and wildlife sightings. These cruises are not for those seeking all-night dancing, drinks by the pool and multiple dining options. Rather, expedition cruises cater to those seeking immersive nature experiences and a certain degree of adventure. Here is our list of mainstream cruise lines, serving as an overview of the most popular cruise lines in the market. From the fascinating destinations we visit to our incredible ships and nearly everything we do onboard, you'll find that some of the most respected names in travel have singled out Princess Cruises as among the very best of the best.

Spring and summer are the prime seasons to visit, but cruises are possible throughout the year. The cruises that you don't need a passport for are closed-loop sailings, which depart from and return to the same port within the U.S. One-way sailings from one U.S. port to another or from a U.S. port to a foreign one would require a passport. Home to beaches, water sports, casinos and the famed Atlantis resort, cruising to the Bahamas is great for traveling without a passport. Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles are the only U.S. departure ports that offer closed-loop Alaska sailings. Sailings departing from Vancouver, Canada and Victoria require a valid passport to enter Canada.

Card Issuer

Certain destinations, such as China and Russia, may require visas for arrival into the country by air or independent exploration ashore. Yes, if an adult needs a passport to cruise then a child will also need a passport. If possible, I'd recommend close to six months prior to your vacation. Numerous cruise lines visit the 700 island archipelago island, which is less than 50 miles from Miami. Cruisers enjoy a number of cruise ports of call, such as Nassau, Grand Bahama and Bimini.

Like Alaska, Hawaii is another U.S. state, but it offers cultural experiences, landscapes and adventures that make it seem like a much more far-flung destination. Due to its geography, a trip to Hawaii offers a diverse array of activities, including cave explorations, waterfall excursions, hikes and, of course, laid-back beach vibes. However, when looking at small ships and larger ships on more expansive routes, keep in mind some islands—including Martinique, Guadeloupe, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Bart’s—do require a passport. All cruises everywhere else in the world that sail in destinations outside the United States require a passport. No, you will need a passport to fly to the departure port of your closed-loop cruise.

What ID and Documents Does My Child Need to Fly?

If you had an emergency and were forced to disembark due to illness or other reason in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, the Bahamas, Bermuda or Canada you would need a passport to return home by plane. On the rare occasion of a ship evacuation or a diversion to another country to disembark, a passport would also be essential for getting home. Citizen, you can take advantage of the benefits of no-passport cruises for itineraries that begin and end at a U.S. Whether it’s the spice of local cuisines, the thrill of zip-lining through forests, or the calm of secluded beaches, these islands are jewels in the Caribbean crown. As the sun sets, find yourself mesmerized by the bioluminescent bays or the rhythms of bomba and salsa. It’s a place where the Old World romances the new, and your cruise ship grants you a front-row seat to the spectacle.

Enjoy stunning marine life, crackling blue glaciers and scenic views. Visit seaside towns like Ketchikan and Skagway, sail through fjords, explore the history of gold mining, marvel at the Northern Lights, and you can even tour a bear sanctuary. In order to be a closed-loop cruise, the cruise must begin and terminate in the same port, such as Miami, Tampa, etc.

Passport cards can also be used for identification when cruising in all the places we are about to discuss; these cards are a low-cost alternative to traveling with your driver's license and birth certificate. For anyone who'd prefer a passport-not-required destination that can be explored during a short amount of time in port, cruising to Bermuda is a natural fit. It's a fairly small island, and since several itineraries offer overnights (some that span more than one night), you'll have time to learn your way around, have dinner in town and check out the nightlife. All of the above considered, you should always check with your cruise line regarding what documents you may need for an upcoming cruise. The cruise line will be able to inform you of its policies, as well as requirements that will apply to your specific itinerary. Most cruise lines, however, do greatly encourage travelers to bring a passport as their primary form of ID.

Perfect for shorter three-night escapades or week-long retreats, the Bahamas serves up a platter of activities. With those two approved documents and traveling overland into Canada, it is possible to do a one-way cruise starting or ending in Vancouver as an American without a passport. Note that flying across the border would require a passport, however. Mexican Riviera voyages are a great choice for passport-less would-be cruisers who live on (or cruise from) the West Coast.

Hotels With Cruise Shuttles For Every Major Port in America

Not only does Mexico offer some spectacular food and culture, but sailings to the region tend to be more affordable than those to Hawaii, a region that's also frequently accessed via West Coast homeports. Known for their leaf-peeping opportunities, maritime history and ultra-friendly locals, these voyages don't necessitate passports. From Nova Scotia's famed Peggy's Cove to lobster in Bar Harbor, there's plenty to enjoy about these sailings.

Canada and New England

If you don’t have a passport, you will also run into problems should you miss boarding your ship at the correct time and need to fly home or to the next port of call. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provides a detailed description of the requirements. If you have any questions, check with your travel agent or cruise line. You don’t want to be turned away at the pier for lack of proper identification.

These ports of call offer a variety of shore excursion options from helicopter rides over glaciers, to whale watching, bear sightings, salmon bakes, and historic gold route tours. For all other nationalities, a passport is generally required to cruise. On one-way sailings, such as between Montreal and Boston on Holland America Line, you will need a passport to fly to or from Canada.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America and UnCruise's Safari Explorer, both U.S.-flagged vessels, are the only cruise ships based in Hawaii. Pride of America sails round-trip from Honolulu, while Safari Explorer offers cruises between Molokai and the Big Island. Other lines and ships offer there-and-back Hawaii itineraries from ports like San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Closed-loop cruises to Mexico depart from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Galveston. From East Coast ports, cruise ships visit the Yucatan Peninsula’s Costa Maya and the island of Cozumel in the Caribbean Sea. From West Coast ports, destinations along the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez include Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, Manzanillo, Loreto, La Paz, Guaymas, and Topolobampo.

The majority of these New England and Canada cruises are weeklong fall sailings; however, a handful depart at other times of the year or are a touch longer, ranging from eight to 10 nights. Quick three- to five-day hops to the Bahamas bring you to white-sand beaches and cruise lines’ private islands at an affordable price, with no passport required. If you are on a longer cruise that visits other Caribbean islands, you’ll want to check with your cruise line about any passport requirements.

When most travelers think of cruises in sunny, sandy locales, they think of the Caribbean or South Pacific. However, Hawaii is right there, and since it’s a U.S. state, there’s no worry about passports. Otherwise, on closed-loop itineraries that travel to Canada, you only need to present a government ID and birth certificate (or a passport card). However, despite this, you don’t actually need a passport to go on every cruise. No, that doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck on New England small ship sailings or taking a river cruise down the Mississippi.

If you don’t want to travel with a passport, don’t worry — there are plenty of closed-loop cruises that travel to various ports in Mexico. That is cheaper than a passport book, can get you on the ship but are valid for entering the USA by land and sea only. It's best to check the requirements not just for each island that you'll be sailing to, but also to additional destinations you may visit on a port call. Hawaii’s dramatic landscapes, from its black sand beaches to lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls, are just the beginning. Attend a traditional luau, visit historic sites like Pearl Harbor, or just relax on the sun-soaked beaches of Maui.
