Cruise warning: Don’t go on a cruise holiday urges government – cruises still deemed risky

“This advice is being kept under constant review.

“Travel disruption is still possible and national control measures may be brought in with little notice, so check our travel guidance.”

“Most cruise holiday customers should be legally entitled to a cash refund within 14 days under the package travel regulations, but as we’ve seen across the travel industry recently, operators facing a surge in refund claims are often taking longer to return customers’ money to them.
