U.S. State Department
Announced the New
Passport & Visa Fees
New passport fees for the U.S. Passport Book, the U.S. Passport Card, and other passport services will be in effect on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. There is still time to get a passport or renew your existing one before the new prices take effect.
We strongly advise all cruise line passengers carry a valid passport on all cruises, even if the destination ports allow for other forms of identification. There is always the possibility of unexpected air travel which has higher requirements than for a closed-loop cruise for example. See our International Travel tab for passport and visa information as well as Tips for Traveling Abroad and Travel Warnings, Country Specific Information & Travel Alerts.
New Passport Fees
Adults: First-Time (Age 16 and older) increase to $110 (from $75) plus a $25 processing fee
Adults: Renewal (Applying with DS-82) increase to $110 (from $75) with no processing fee
Minors (Under age 16) increase to $80 (from $60) plus a $25 processing fee
Passport cards also increase by $10 for both Adults and Minors
For a complete list of fees, including extra services (such as additional pages) see the following:

There are two components that you must consider when determining the proper documentation required for an upcoming trip: the requirements to re-enter the United States and the entry requirements of the countries being visited on your cruise or other vacation.
Important Note: Passports must be valid for 6 months from the end of your trip, so be sure to check expiration dates and allow sufficient time for processing renewals.
