Costa Cruises Cancellation Policies

Costa Cruises Cancellation and Refund Policy

The following policies shall apply to any and all Costa Cruise cancellations. You must submit your cancellation in writing to your travel agent and we will then notify the cruise line. Depending upon when the cruise is canceled, a cancellation charge may apply. We highly recommend Travel Insurance to protect yourself from penalties assessed for canceling due to medical reasons for yourself or family members.

Cancellations for any Costa Cruise
Days Prior to Cruise or Land Departure	Cancellation Charge Per Guest
Up to 80 days prior to departure	No Penalty
79 days - 35 days prior to departure	Amount of Deposit
34 days - 10 days prior to departure	50% of Total Fare
9 days prior to departure to day of sailing	100% of Total Fare (No Refund)
No Appearance	100% of Total Fare (No Refund)

All documents must be returned to Costa before a refund can be processed. A change of a booking from Air/Sea to cruise only constitutes a cancellation of the airfare and is subject to the cancellation penalties indicated above. A $100 penalty will apply for air cancellations made between 75 and 35 days prior to sailing.

Change Fees

A $50 USD service fee per passenger, per change will be assessed for each change to the cruise once the tickets have been issued. However, no change will be made unless permitted by Costa's cancellation policy. Above charges do not include cancellation fees which may be applied by air carriers, hotels and/or other land service suppliers, and will be assessed in accordance with such suppliers' policies.

Cancellation and administrative charges apply to both individual and group guests. Absolutely NO Exceptions will be made on cancellation charges. We highly recommend the purchase of Travel Protection Insurance.
