To cancel a cruise without penalty, start by calling to review the cruise line’s cancellation policy. Most offer a grace period for free cancellation shortly after booking. For assistance, call. For later cancellations, do so within the allowed time frame, often 60–90 days before departure, to avoid penalties. Consider purchasing travel insurance with cancellation coverage for added flexibility.
