Before rushing off to the local travel agent I thought I’d ask first on here.

Looking to go on a Caribbean cruise next year (winter) Probably start in Miami then island hop though might do the ship re position from Europe via the Azores.

I’ve a UK passport wife has a Kenyan one. Can she come with me?

I realise this may create more questions than answers but we can’t be unique.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect, as travel agents say, "It's your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any visas necessary for travel".

In your and your wife's case It means you will have to check entry requirements for the places visited on any cruise you decide to go on.
It might be that some places give a dispensation from the standard requirement for those on cruise ships.

Cruise information is available a long time ahead, so pick a cruise that suits and contact a travel agent to discuss.

Unfortunately it's likely that your wife might require more in the way of visas than you. Here I am thinking of the USA if you were to start a cruise from there. Perhaps she already has one? Here in UK it's taking time to get one.

ETA, I always look at govuk website for entry requirements for anywhere we are thinking of going to and then the government website of the country we plan on going to.
