Was your Marella 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.
Marella 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.

- 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 Marella 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 Marella Cruises within 2 months of the disrupted cruise departure.
