Claim with MSC Cruises

Was your MSC Cruises cruise departure delayed or cancelled? When EU Regulation 1177/2010 applies, you may claim compensation for departure delay — FerryRefund helps you check and file.

MSC Cruises operates cruise voyages that can fall under EU Regulation 1177/2010 when maritime passenger rights apply — for example when you embark from an EU port. FerryRefund helps passengers claim compensation for delayed or cancelled cruise departures under the same EU rules that cover ferries.

Your rights with MSC Cruises

  • 25% compensation for a 1-hour departure delay; 50% for 2 hours, 75% for 3 hours, 100% for 4+ hours (where Regulation 1177/2010 applies).
  • Right to rerouting or a full refund if your MSC Cruises cruise departure is cancelled, subject to applicable EU maritime rules.
  • Assistance (meals, refreshments, accommodation) may apply during long waits at the embarkation port.
  • Complaints should be filed with MSC Cruises within 2 months of the disrupted cruise departure.

Tips for claiming

  • Keep your MSC Cruises booking confirmation, cabin number and embarkation documents.
  • Genova, Barcelona and Marseille embarkations are common starting points for EU-covered MSC Cruises claims.
  • Save itinerary change notices, embarkation delay emails and boarding documents as evidence.
