Cruise originating/ending in UK, visa requirements for US green card holder, with a China passport

[rmedistro]

My wife has lived in the US for 14 years, but never applied for US Citizenship. (I know 🙃)
We have taken several caribbean and mexico cruises, and she just needed to bring green card/State DL/China passport
She just booked a 12 day cruise originating in London UK, ports in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Estonia, and Denmark
I am almost 99% sure I have to get her a Schengen Visa for the UK, but Carnival has no information, and conflicting information everywhere on Google.
We reside in Central Florida.
Help?? 🙂

I'm 100% sure that the UK is not part of Schengen. So she will need a UK visa on top of the Schengen one. DO NOT trust any 3rd party sites. Contact the embassies of the countries you will be travelling to directly.

UK is no longer part of the Schengen area since Brexit came into effect.

The UK never was part of the Schengen area.

Information on Standard Visitor Visas and Transit visa is here if that helps

thanks for the info. Looks like my wife will need a standard visa, as she will go through customs control, and then stay over night in hotel, then transit to Dover cruise terminal.

I'm glad that was useful, hope she enjoys the cruise.
