Then complement the information with Timatic. I check also foreign embassy websitse of the countries I go (the embassy in charge for my country, which sometime it is in other countries): if there are changes, they will usually write. Further the information is usually localized for your country citizens. | |

| Oct 6, 2022 at 16:50 | comment | added | Midavalo | @GiacomoCatenazzi unfortunately my cruise agent has been fairly unhelpful and told me I'd have to find out for myself what the requirements are for me to enter each country. She only has info for US citizens (>99.9% of her clients) | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 16:49 | comment | added | Midavalo | Thanks @Harper-ReinstateMonica, you make a good point and I'll redo my search - The problem with the Timatic search is that it gives requirements for flying in, whereas arriving by car (or in my case cruise-ship) can sometimes have more relaxed or other requirements. (However I do realise that it's a fairly minor problem) | |

And Russia offered a special entry for cruises in St. Petersbourg (but only on official guided tours). Because cruise lines are usually repeating the same cruise many time per season, cruise sites may be more relevant for visa requirements. | |
| Oct 6, 2022 at 9:28 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | @Anders There are indeed exceptions, but if Timatic is saying it's OK to enter country X by air, it's probably also OK to enter it by cruise ship. | |

It will not disclose what requirements might be imposed by the cruise ship company. In some or many cases, cruise companies require all passengers to be admissible into every destination where the ship is scheduled to make port, even if the passenger has no plans for a shoreside saunter. See, for example, this question. | |
