No refund will be permitted if a guest terminates his/her cruise after embarkation or while the cruise is in progress. Cruise contracts are non-transferable. Name changes and cruise date changes are considered reservation cancellations and are subject to the above cancellation fees. Cancellation charges are assessed on the total fares, which include cruise fare, air-add-on, hotel packages, shore excursions and any other additional service arranged through MSC Cruises. All pre-purchased MSC Cruises services, packages, and excursions cancelled once onboard are subject to up to 100% penalty.
Cancellation Policies are subject to change by the cruise line. For the most current MSC Cruises and Refund Policies, please refer to the MSC Cruises website or a MSC Cruises brochure.
