Hey John

What's the itinerary? Which countries will you be visiting?

Usually it's the passengers responsibility to have the necessary visas.

Since you are thining about a 21 days B2B on the Norwegian Jade I pressume you are thinking about the cruise to the Canary Islands and Morroco and the Eastern Med. cruise to Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt from Barcelona???

I belive the countries you would need a visa for are Morroco, Turkey and Egypt.

I would contact your TA for more information.
I have heard that some ships arrange for a 1 day visa for Egypt but I am not sure about the other countries.

You chould also check each countries Embassy web site for information.
I dont belive you need any special inoculation for the countries you plan to visit.
Again, I would check at each countries embassy and/or travel info web site.

But all in all, you are responsible for getting the required visas before embarking the ship.

About Morocco...we were just there 2 weeks ago with a port call in Agadir and did not need a visa. We are from the US and I see you are from Canada and usually the visa requirements are the same for our 2 countries.

As Lars said, check with the Embassy web sites and also ask your travel agent about this. If they are good, they should be knowledgeable or at least be able to find out for you.

You do, it's your responsibility to make sure you have the visas and innoculations for the countries you'll be visiting. Your TA should be able to help you with the Visas and shot requirements.

all answers are good. Turkey and Egypt require a visa. However if you book your excursions through ncl the visas are included in the price,according to our t.a

Interesting that they said Egypt required a visa and that if you purchased an NCL tour it was covered. Maybe it's because you are Canadian, but we (US) needed no visa and booked a private tour in Agadir.

Regarding visa for Turkey; I read yesterday that cruise passengers staying in a Turkish port for the day does not require a visa.
Egypt will give you a day visa.
