I WILL TAKE A CRUISE FROM DOVER TO CAPE TOWN WITH PRINCESS CRUISE, LEAVING SEPT 17. WE WILL VISIT COUNTRIES LIKE SENEGAL,
GHANA, BENIN, CAPE VERDE, TOGO, GAMBIA. PRINCESS CRUISE TELLS, THAT EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VISAS. I SUPPOSE, THAT
WE CAN GET THE VISAS ON THE SHIP. HAS ANYBODY EXPERIENCE IN THIS MATTER? THANKS.

Ahoy there, and welcome. First please don't use ALL CAPITALS. I comes across as shouting... Thanks.

OK, Visas. A visa is, technically, an authorization from a country allowing you to enter and/or exit. You can't get them on the ship, or even from the cruise line. You get them from each country. In many cases, you can get a tourist visa (which is what you want) at the port of entry. However, every country is different. They set their own standards and procedures for granting visas. You need to check with each country before departing on your cruise. Indeed, the cruise line may not allow you to even board the ship if you don't have the required visas. If you do cruise and don't have the visas, you will not be allowed to go ashore, for any reason.

I would suggest, in the strongest terms opossible, that you go through a good, CLIA certified travel agent. They will be able to identify which countries will and will not require a visa, what type visa, what fees are necessary and can assist you in the application process. This is not something you want to do on your own!

Welcome to Cruise @ddicts.

No, you cannot obtain visas on the ship in most instances. Princess will send the necessary visa applications for each country when they send your preliminary cruise documents...and this will be after you make final payment. Your passport will probably need to be valid for at least six months after your cruise. Many countries have that stipulation.

Have a great cruise.
