Cruises

This section explains what we will require from cruise carriers under the e-Borders programme, and when we will start to introduce these requirements.

Cruise companies will be required to provide crew and passenger information to the e-Borders system.

We have made formal approaches to cruise companies to discuss the data that they will need to provide, and we have commenced operational trials.
