Seaports | CBP Biometrics

At CBP, we believe that everything about a cruise should be relaxing, including getting on and off the ship. Biometric Facial Comparison Technology has reduced debarkation times by up to 30%, allowing you to sail through CBP processing in record time.

CBP is leading the transformation of the travel experience through Biometric Facial Comparison Technology, but we could never do this alone. The cruise line industry and our technology partners play a critical role.

Biometric Facial Comparison Technology is currently deployed on select voyages at the following seaports around the country:
