Cancellations & refunds
What happens if you need to change or cancel.
Each supplier sets its own cancellation charges, which we show before you pay and in your confirmation. A typical cruise schedule looks like this:
| Days before sailing | Typical charge (mainstream lines) |
|---|---|
| More than 90 | Deposit only (often refundable as credit) |
| 89–57 | 25–50% of fare |
| 56–30 | 50–75% of fare |
| 29 or fewer | 100% of fare |
Luxury, expedition and river lines often charge earlier. Refunds are paid to the original payment method within the timeframe the supplier allows, typically 7–30 days. Travel insurance can cover cancellation for insured reasons.
