Cruise Date Change

MSC will allow a Cruise date change 75 (seventy- five) Days or more from departure, in accordance with the terms of MSC's STCs, with

all relevant charges applicable in order to move the Cruise to a new date. Air ticket payments usually need to be made by MSC in

advance and are not normally refunded by the air carrier / third-party service provider. Any booking, tickets, payment or otherwise of

the air carrier / third- party service provider remain subject to the air carrier / third-party service provider's own terms and conditions,

where applicable, the terms of any memorandum of understanding between MSC and the air carrier / third-party service provider

or any such additional or specific terms and conditions applicable to the service.


Should the Passenger change the date of their Cruise to another departure under these circumstances, the Passenger can transfer

their flights to this new departure, subject to the transfer taking place on the MSC Opera within the 2025/2026 local cruise season, and the availability and payment of any airline fare differentiation.
Only one (1) transfer will be permitted, and due to

the nature of the Fly & Cruise Holiday Package, no transfers will be permitted within 75 Days of departure.

Cancellations

Cancellations of the Cruise portion of the Holiday Package are subject to the terms of MSC's STCs.
Due to the special nature of the Fly & Cruise packages, the flights are non-transferrable (unless as otherwise stated herein) and
cannot be refunded in the event that the Fly & Cruise package and/or the flight portion is cancelled within 75 Days of the
departure.
Any cancellation of the flight portion of the Fly & Cruise Holiday Package, regardless of when the cancellation takes place,
remains subject to the conditions of carriage of the air carrier / third-party service provider. MSC does not bear any affiliation with
any particular air carrier, thus, any obligations and/or claims relating to cancellation, delay, denied boarding or otherwise in
respect of the air carrier must therefore be made directly to the relevant air carrier
