Attention U.S. and Canadian travelers! A significant change is coming to your UK travel plans. Starting January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom will implement its new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system for all U.S. and Canadian passport holders entering or transiting through the UK.

Thank you for this information. I had no idea.
Hi Kim, you’re welcome. We put it in the newsletter last weekend and made a social media post, but we figured we should send a separate email for this important notice. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for keeping us up to date.
Our pleasure. Happy Holidays, Deborah.
Thanks for the update. Happy Holidays
You’re welcome, and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Will this apply to Islands in the Caribbean?
No. This currently just pertains to folks from the U.S. and Canada flying to Europe.
Our current Viking flight plan for May 2025 does not take us through the UK. But should we proceed to apply for this authorization in case the flight plans change?
Hmmm. I’m guessing that this might be overkill. If your flight plans were to change, you could avoid the UK in creating the new flights.
