    Hi, I will be taking the cruise from New Zealand to Australia with my children next month - husband will not be joining. I have different surname then my children (when I got married I did not change my surname). Is passport alone be ok for travelling?

    Hello, my friend! As your vacation countdown nears its final days, it’s always a good idea to make sure you have the proper travel documentation for a smooth embarkation. I’m happy to help!

    My go-to resource is the Travel Documentation page on the Disney Cruise Line website. According to their guidelines, each traveler must have an original, valid passport that will remain valid for at least six months after the cruise ends.

    You may also need a visa to enter Australia if you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Similarly, you might need an entry visa for New Zealand, depending on your nationality. Each guest must verify and secure all necessary visas before their departure.

    Regarding traveling with your children, as long as you are their legal guardian, Disney does not require any additional paperwork. During the online check-in process, you were asked, “Is a parent or legal guardian of this minor sailing on this cruise?” If you answered yes, you’re all set!

    I’m so excited for you to experience Disney Magic at Sea! From dazzling Broadway-style shows to immersive dining and unforgettable entertainment, you’re in for a truly enchanting adventure with your children. Looking at your itinerary, it’s even more exciting to see that you’re scheduled for not one but two deck parties with fireworks! On Wednesday, you’ll enjoy the Heroes Unite deck party, and on Thursday, it’s the ever-popular Pirate Night. Get ready to create memories that will last a lifetime! And if you have any more questions, please stop by and see us again!

    SEAS the adventure!
