Travelling Post Brexit

With the uncertainty of Brexit hanging over the country. It’s understandable that I’ve received a few calls from people concerned about their upcoming cruise holiday and how it might be affected.

Whilst none of us know what the long term outcome will be. I thought it best to update you on what we do know with the current Government and ABTA advise;

Rules for passports

The rules for travel to most countries in Europe change if the UK leaves the European Union (EU) with no deal.

After 29 March 2019:

1 You should have at least 6 months left on your passport from your date of arrival. This applies to adult and child passports.

2 If you renewed a passport before it expired, extra months may have been added to your new passport’s expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the 6 months that should be remaining for travel to most countries in Europe.

Cruise Passenger Advise

• UK departures: Passengers who embark on a cruise at a UK port will continue to be protected by the EU regulation on maritime passengers’ rights, which will be brought into UK law.
• Fly-cruise: UK citizens can be reassured that regardless of the Brexit outcome planes will still fly between the UK and the EU. If a deal is agreed then we will be in a transition period, meaning everything will stay the same until the end of December 2020 and flights will continue as normal.
