Passenger Cancellation Terms

American Cruise Lines’ 24-hour cancellation policy allows you to reserve your cruise knowing that if you change your mind within 24 hours you will receive a 100% refund. Cancellation requests must be received within 24 hours of initial payment. After 24 hours cancellation charges apply.

All cancellation requests must be received by email to reservations@americancruiselines.com.

Our Cancel For Any Reason Protection Plan (the “Plan”) offers the opportunity to receive a refund beyond our standard refund policy. The Plan is a cancellation fee waiver offered by American Cruise Lines and the Plan cost is non-refundable in the event of cancellation. This Plan is not insurance. You receive Deluxe Protection when you purchase the Plan within 14 days of initial payment for your cruise package or Basic Protection when you purchase the Plan 15 days or more after initial payment. More details about our Cancel For Any Reason Protection Plan can be found in the link here.
 
If you cancel, money-back refunds or issuance of Cruise Credits will be made according to the schedule below. All cruise package cancellations will incur a non-refundable $250.00 per person Cancellation Administrative Charge, unless cancelled within 24 hours of initial payment. Cancellation Administrative Charges can be applied as a courtesy discount to a new cruise package for you if you make initial payment within one year of cancellation. If only add-on experiences (i.e. Signature Excursions) are cancelled the Cancellation Administrative Charge will be waived, but fees will still apply according to the table below. Please contact us at 800-894-8570 to find out more.
