Deposit and Final Payment

Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellation and refund policies vary by cruise line, with penalties generally increasing as the sailing date approaches. If a cancellation occurs, the following charges will be assessed:

* A change of booking from Air/Sea to cruise only constitutes a cancellation of the air and is subject to the cancellation penalties as indicated above. A $100 penalty will apply for air cancellations made between 69 to 30 days prior to sailing.

A $50 administration fee will be charged for changes to bookings after cruise documents have been issued.

Cruise lines do not refund in the event of "no shows," or interruption or cancellation by the guest after the start of the cruise. Please notify your MyGreatTrip.com cruise counselor immediately of any cancellations or changes. The above charges do not include cancellation or change fees which may be applied by air carriers, hotels and/or other independent service suppliers. The purchase of trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. For more information on insurance, click here.

Timetables and rates are subject to change, and exceptions may apply for holiday sailings. Deposit, payment and cancellation terms differ for group bookings; please confirm payment and cancellation policies with your MyGreatTrip.com cruise counselor. Changes to names or departure dates are subject to the cruise lines' discretion and may incur cancellation penalties.

Costa Cruise Lines Kids Program

Costa Cruises runs an onboard entertainment program for three age groups during the Caribbean season and for the Mediterranean peak season. The extent of the program is dependent upon the number of children on each sailing. When the full program is offered, the age groups are divided as follows: Kid's Club, ages 3 (out of diapers) - 6; Junior's Club, ages 7 -12; and Teen's Club, ages 13 - 17.

The Costa Atlantica and Costa Victoria Caribbean sailings offer a group baby-sitting service for children ages 3 years (out of diapers) and older from 6:30pm until 11:00pm. When the vessel is in port, group baby-sitting can be arranged from 8:30am to 12:30pm and from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. Group baby-sitting is generally available on all cruises; however, parents need to request this service when they are onboard. There is a nominal charge for group baby-sitting. No in-stateroom baby-sitting is available.

On Caribbean sailings, Costa also offers its unique "Parents Night(s) Out." On two different nights, parents can enjoy an evening alone while their children spend the evening with their peers enjoying a supervised buffet or pizza party and fun activities designed especially for them. Hours of operation for "Parent's Night Out" are 5:00pm to 11:00pm and there is no charge for these two special nights.
