Background
Poland extends across several geographical regions. Of particular interest to cruisers, the northwest is the Baltic seacoast, which extends from the Bay of Pomerania to the Gulf of Gdansk. This coast is marked by several spits, coastal lakes (former bays that have been cut off from the sea), and dunes. The largely straight coastline is indented by the Szczecin Lagoon, the Bay of Puck, and the Vistula Lagoon

Immigration
All countries of the Baltic area with the exception of Russia already are, or will be as of 1st January 2008, members of the Schengen group of countries. This means that there is a common visa regime for these countries and a Schengen visa issued for one country is valid also in another. Those who require visas (generally citizens of other countries than the EU, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland) must apply for the visa at the consulate of the first Schengen country to be visited PRIOR TO entering that country. More information regarding Schengen and the need for visas can be found on the Schengen Visas website.
