Your deposit
$99 per person reserves your cabin. This deposit is applied toward your total balance and is non-refundable once the penalty period begins per MSC Cruises' schedule below.
Final payment
Due approximately 75 days before sailing — around June 20, 2026 for this departure. If final payment is not received by the due date, your cabin may be released and your deposit forfeited. I'll send reminders before this date.

A few things worth knowing
This is a promotional group rate. That means:
- Name changes must be made at least 7 days before departure. Changes within 7 days are treated as a cancellation.
- One original passenger must remain on the booking for a name change not to trigger cancellation terms.
- Cabin moves to a different sailing are not permitted under group terms and are treated as a cancellation.
- Refund timelines are controlled by MSC Cruises, not your travel advisor.
My honest recommendation
I built this trip to be easy. Part of that means being straightforward: only reserve when you're reasonably confident you can go. If life happens — and it does — travel protection is the thing that keeps a covered medical emergency from turning into a $700 loss.
I'm not here to sell you a policy. I'm here to make sure you know the option exists.
