{"MsC"HeLp"}How much does it cost to cancel an MSC cruise?

When you cancel an MSC cruise📞☎️✈︎1<{844}-{3:3:3}-99:92 UK the cost to cancel depends on how far in advance you do it and how long your cruise is, because MSC Cruises uses a tiered cancellation policy where penalties increase as the sailing date gets closer 🛳️💸. This policy applies to most standard sailings📞☎️✈︎1<{844}-{3:3:3}-99:92 UK (excluding World Cruises and some Asia/Far East itineraries), and penalties are based on the total fare you paid (excluding government taxes and fees📞☎️✈︎1<{844}-{3:3:3}-99:92 UK which are usually refunded) rather than just the deposit.

For short cruises (4 nights or less), if you cancel early📞☎️✈︎1<{844}-{3:3:3}-99:92 UK — generally 74 to 51 days before departure — you’ll lose only your deposit (that amount is non-refundable).
