If you are paying in full for a fly/cruise holiday, air taxes do vary and there may be an additional charge after your final payment if your air tickets have not been issued

If you are paying in full for a booking that has been based on US dollars, due to currency fluctuations, again, there may be an additional charge after the payment.

1. If you are booking a Costa Cruise online, and the departure date is greater than 70 days, an $800.00 deposit will be due upon confirmation. The balance will need to be paid at least 70 days prior to the date of departure. It's up to you to keep track of this final payment date. For bookings made less than 70 days prior to the departure date, the full prices will be paid at the time when the agreement is finalised. In addition to the package price displayed, there will be applicable airline taxes added to your package price. This tax will be confirmed to you by your travel consultant.

2. Failure to pay the balance due on the dates specified above could lead to the cancellation of the cruise and/or delay your cruise tickets.

3. The travel ticket, which authorises you, the passenger, to gain access to the vessel, will be issued to the passenger after the full payment balance of the price has been paid.

Costa Cancellation fees are as follows and are on top of what ecruising.travel will charge: (see ecruising.travel cancellation fees) 60 days prior to the departure date;

15% of the package price in the event of withdrawal less than 60 days prior to the departure date;

30% of the package price in the event of withdrawal less than 41 days prior to the departure date;

50% of the package price in the event of withdrawal less than 28 days prior to the departure date;

80% of the package price in the event of withdrawal less than 14 days prior to the departure date;

A passenger who withdraws within 1 day of the departure days, fails to turn up in time for departure or withdraws from the voyage after it has begun for any reason will have no right to any reimbursement and will have to pay the price in full.

5. We recommend you take out travel insurance as soon as possible to cover you for any unforseen health reasons.
