Before boarding the Neoliner Origin, you will need to complete certain administrative requirements:
Medical certificate of fitness:
All passengers must present a duly completed medical certificate of fitness in order to be allowed to board. This document is required by the NEOLINE shipping company.
Important: you must have the original medical certificate with you when boarding. Without this document, you will be denied access to the ship.
Book the medical certificate to be completed by your doctor
Immigration formalities for the United States:
NEOLINE is currently in the process of joining the Visa Waiver Program. This integration will normally take effect for the first crossing in August 2025.
This program will allow citizens of participating countries to travel to the United States without a visa for up to 90 days, under certain conditions.
The ESTA must therefore be submitted at least 30 days before departure for passengers concerned.
