The C1/D Visa

The C1/D Visa is a mandatory U.S. visa required to join and work on board a Princess Cruises vessel. It must remain valid throughout your contract and is required regardless of the ship's itinerary. U.S. and Canadian citizens are exempt.
Our Onboarding Team will provide a Letter of Employment and guidance on the application process. Once received, you should apply as soon as possible, as appointment availability at U.S. consulates may be limited and processing times can vary.
Obtaining your C1/D Visa early will help ensure a smooth onboarding process and avoid delays to your travel and assignment.
