Because international cruises in Europe and Asia require air travel, these vacations also demand a passport. When embarking on adventures by sea that don't require a passport, make sure you have the proper cruise documentation.
Can you go on an international cruise without a passport?
Do I need a passport? We recommend that everyone taking a cruise from the United States have a passport book. Though some “closed-loop” cruises may not require a U.S. passport, we recommend bringing yours in case of an emergency, such as an unexpected medical air evacuation or the ship docking at an alternate port.

Which countries do not stamp passports?
Argentina, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Macau and Singapore do not stamp passports upon entry nor exit. These countries or regions issue landing slips instead, with the exception of Australia who do not issue any form of physical evidence of entry as a matter of course at the primary line.
How do I get my passport stamped on a cruise?
Most ports have a special desk or office for tourists where you get your passport stamped. Sometimes you can get an official immigration stamp. In other places, you may get a souvenir stamp made just for cruise visitors. It's usually free to get a stamp.
