Reccommending European River Cruises

If you are planning a European river cruise journey, but a resident of the US, it will be necessary to secure a passport. While the normal identification card like your driver's license often serves as a valid proof of identification in the US, such ID and other standard IDs are not acceptable when travelling overseas. It will require approximately one month to one and half months to acquire a passport in the U.S. When planning your river cruise in Europe, it is essential to accord yourself with adequate time between starting the passport application process to boarding the water vessel. Here, I will discuss some tips on acquiring your passport quickly and easily.

The initial step to getting a passport so you can board a European river cruise is to secure a set of acceptable documents attesting to your identity. Examples of these documents include a birth certificate, or a certificate attesting to your citizenship. Next, you will want to find a business entity specializing in taking passport pictures.

It pays to produce at least 4 copies - while two are intended for the passport, a travel Visa may be necessary so it is good to have extra photographs on hand. Once you have complied with this initial requirement, you may now proceed in downloading the application form that is on the TRAVEL.STATE.GOV website.
