AIDA offers service for easier visa applications
New cooperation between cruise company and CIBT VisumCentrale
Rostock, 11. January 2016
Starting now, the cruise company AIDA Cruises is offering its guests a new service that will assist them with visa formalities. To this end, AIDA is teaming up with the market leader for international visas and passports, CIBT VisumCentrale. Guests that have booked an AIDA cruise receive attractive special conditions on the CIBT portal set up for this purpose.
Particularly with long-distance destinations on AIDA ships, such as India and Cambodia, a visa is unavoidable for travelers. Cruises to the USA also often require special provisions for entering the country. AIDA guests can obtain general information on visa requirements for all countries on CIBT’s visa portal or by phone or email. For a fee, they can also let the experts at CIBT clarify all formalities with consulates and embassies. After issuance by the government agencies, the visas are collected and sent to the guest with secure shipping. In addition to this service, CIBT also offers guidance for filling out online visa applications, e.g. ESTA for trips to the United States, on the Internet portal.
To ensure that guests receive their visas in time, it is recommended that they apply for them about 8 to, at the latest, 4 weeks before the start of the cruise. Naturally, there is an express service for urgent cases. As CIBT has branches in 14 different countries, this service is available to guests from outside of Germany as well. It is offered in German and English.
More information on AIDA cruises and country information can be found at www.aida.de. Guests can also receive contact details and visa information at www.cibtvisas.de or by calling +49 30-230 95 91 75.
