For most cruise lines, as long as you cancel before your final payment date, there is no penalty. After final payment, you will lose your deposit or the deposit and a portion of your cruise fare, depending on when you cancel in relation to your sail date.
How do cruise cancellations work?
Cruise cancellations depend on the cruise line's specific policy and how far in advance you cancel. Most cruise lines offer a full refund if you cancel early, often 90+ days before departure. Closer to the sailing date, cancellation fees typically increase and may result in a partial refund or none at all. Some lines offer travel insurance or a “Cancel for Any Reason” plan for added flexibility. Refunds may take time to process and are usually returned to the original payment method.
