However, with the UK’s new visa policies now in effect, travelers should be aware of updated entry requirements. As part of the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, visitors from many countries—including the U.S. and the EU—will need to apply for pre-approval before arriving in the UK. This includes Scottish ports like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Inverness.

Fortunately, Ireland remains part of the Common Travel Area, meaning visitors arriving there won’t need a separate visa.

For cruise passengers, this means careful planning when disembarking in UK ports. The process is straightforward, with online applications and quick approvals. Travelers should check specific requirements before booking to

ensure a smooth journey. Anytime you visit or travel through the UK, you will need to Know this!

Despite these changes, a cruise through Ireland and Scotland remains a dream experience—filled with Celtic legends, medieval castles, and some of the world’s most stunning coastal views. To book your trip call Cruise Planners at 541-404-2436
