International Travel Readiness
Prepare early for passports, entry requirements and long-haul flights.
Passport
Check now that your passport will remain valid through at least December 2027 and has sufficient blank pages. Final requirements depend on citizenship and current government rules.
China entry documents
U.S. citizens generally need a visa before traveling to mainland China, with limited exceptions. Sanaa World Travel will provide updated guidance, but each traveler remains responsible for meeting entry requirements.
Travel protection
Travel insurance is strongly recommended because the program combines international flights, cruise arrangements, hotels, tours and transfers purchased under separate terms.
