Claim with Costa Cruises

Was your Costa 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.

Costa 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 Costa 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 Costa 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 Costa Cruises within 2 months of the disrupted cruise departure.

Tips for claiming

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

FAQ about claiming with Costa Cruises

When can I claim compensation with Costa Cruises?

You may claim if your Costa Cruises departure was delayed by 1 hour or more, or if the sailing was cancelled and EU Regulation 1177/2010 applies. Compensation is based on departure delay, not arrival.
