Frequently Asked Questions

What travel documents do I need?

U.S. Citizens on homeport cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same U.S. port) are currently able to enter or depart the country with a state issued birth certificate with a raised seal and government issued photo id. AAA recommends traveling with an original, signed passport valid for 6 months beyond stay, and with at least one blank visa page for visa stamp(s).

As travel policies are rapidly changing, final requirements will be communicated prior to departure. Please see your Travel Advisor for additional information.

*Canada reserves the right to deny entry to anyone with a felony conviction including a DUI record. AAA is not responsible if you are denied entry to Canada and no refund will be provided.

Do I need travel insurance?

For your protection AAA recommends travel insurance. Pre-existing medical conditions may be waived with proper coverage if travel insurance is purchased within 14 day of initial deposit only. Other conditions may apply; ask your travel agent. AAA recommends Allianz.

What will the weather be like?

Average temperatures for Canada during August are in the high 60’s. Casual clothes and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Evenings require casual or semiformal attire, with one formal attire night.

How many bags can I bring?

Two suitcases per person will be allowed by the cruise line. You may also bring a small carry-on bag small enough to fit under your seat.

When should I book shore excursions?

Your AAA Travel Advisor is happy to help reserve your choice of shore excursions. It’s best to book them as soon as possible as they can sell out.

What is a Discoveries Journey Manager?

A Discoveries Journey Manager travels with you on your entire journey. They are there to ensure your trip runs smoothly so you can sit back and relax. They are constantly working behind the scenes, whether it be at airport check-in or cruise disembarkation, they have you covered!
