For all cruises cancelled by MSC we will offer you:  
• A Future Cruise Credit voucher equal to the value of the amount collected by MSC Cruises for the cancelled cruise, to be used for any future sailing, as per Terms and Conditions detailed in your voucher. In addition, you will receive an onboard credit (refundable and valid during any period of the year) for your onboard shopping. For all bookings related to cancelled cruises, MSC Cruises will issue a voucher with a value equal to the amount already paid to MSC Cruises, net of refunds, and will include the on board credit granted as a compensation for the cancelled cruise.
For bookings confirmed but not yet paid, MSC Cruises will issue a voucher with a value equal to the onboard credit granted as a compensation for the cancelled cruises. The voucher will be sent anyway, however, no future cruise credit will be shown as no payment has been received from MSC. Guests booked in single cabins will receive 50% of the standard onboard credit mentioned above, based on the length of their cruise. If you are entitled to any different compensation for your cancelled cruise, you will be informed via direct email or through your Travel Agent.

The MSC Cruises family of guests and crew is at the centre of everything we do, and your health and safety are of utmost importance to us. Along with leading international experts in the field of Medicine, Public Health and related scientific disciplines we developed our new guidelines to protect the health and safety of our guests, crew and the local communities we visit before, during and after your cruise. Discover more about our Health & Safety protocol.

If the future booking is of higher value than the original one, you will have to pay the difference. If the future booking is of less value than the original one, you will have the opportunity to add-on packages to your future cruise (beverage packages, excursions, etc…) and leverage the voucher value for such usage up until it is fully spent.

The onboard credit is a benefit which MSC Cruises grants as an additional benefit to its guests for the cancelled cruises. It can be used only once you start your new cruise but cannot be used for the purchase of pre-paid itemsitems through the MSC websites or travel agents before the new cruise. If not entirely spent, this onboard credit will be refunded at the end of the new cruise. Find out more about our compensation packages.

Before booking your cruise and cruise departure date, please check all the current travel restrictions by your country of residence and cruise destination here. In addition to the already rigorous attention to hygiene on board our ships, MSC Cruises is taking additional steps to protect our guests and crew, to ensure that you are able to plan your next holiday with us and to travel with confidence before, during and after your cruise: please read all the guidelines highlighted in our Health & Safety Protocol.

You can choose your next cruise date when you are ready. The Future Cruise Credit can be applied to any sailing departing on or before December 31, 2021. The Future Cruise Credit is non-transferable, non-refundable.

No, the Future Cruise credit can be redeemed only once. If the new booking is cheaper than the original one, you will have the opportunity to add-on prepaid packages (beverage packages, excursions, onboard credit, etc…) and leverage the voucher value for such usage.

For redeeming the voucher, you have 2 options:
- If you booked directly with MSC through our Contact Centre or through our consumer website, please call our Contact Centre.
- If you booked through a travel agency, please get in touch directly with your travel agent. Be ready to provide your initial booking number as well as the new cruise date you’ve chosen.

Please consider that MSC Cruises is currently facing a high demand of requests. This might cause a delay in our standard services. We apologize for any inconvenience it may cause and thank you for your patience.

For such cases, you will once again be eligible for our Future Cruise Credit program as highlighted below:
- A new FCC voucher will be issued. Its value will be equal to the payment received by MSC Cruises, net of any refund.  
- The new voucher will keep granting the same original onboard credit value, which is based on the length of the originally cancelled cruise. The onboard credit will be granted once and will be effective when the cruise will sail. 

If you booked your pre-paid items directly through the website or through our contact centre, the entire amount paid will be refunded on the original form of payment. The amount refunded will not be included in the Future Cruise voucher. Please note that exceptions ay apply by country. If your booking was made through a Travel Agency, please contact your travel agent.

Flight and transfers will be included as part of the Future Cruise credit, if booked through MSC Cruises. For example, if the cruise fare is USD/€500, and the flight is USD/€300 and transfer USD/€100 guests will receive total Future Cruise credit of USD/€900. For flights and transfers booked independently from MSC Cruises, this must be checked directly with the relevant service provider.

The full value of the Future Cruise Credit will apply to the future booking. MSC will not provide several vouchers related to 1 single original booking.

Booked Guests that found themselves not to meet any of the requirements of the MSC Health and Safety Protocol (e.g missing vaccination) and therefore that they are prevented from boarding, are asked to send written communication to MSC Cruises not later than 15 days before the scheduled departure of their cruise in order to request their voucher.

Our guests who have booked directly with MSC can use our form, those who have booked via travel agency are kindly invited to refer to their travel agent.
