We booked an Oceania Mediterranean cruise on Riviera, which was scheduled to leave Haifa on May 29, 2024 and end in Barcelona on June 11. Then the hostilities in the Middle East started and first the cruise line changed the itinerary to eliminate Israel and start in Trieste. I thought it was a bit soon to make the change 6 months before departure, but ok. Then last week, Oceania sent out an email saying they are cancelling the entire cruise, referencing the situation in the .Red Sea. Once again I was surprised because the revised itinerary would take us nowhere near the .Red Sea, But now I had booked flights which the airlines would not refund, only giving credit vouchers, and they charged cancellation fees besides. Our trip insurance carrier informed us that cancellation by a cruise line due to war is an exclusion under the policy. Oceania is promising 100% refunds for the cruise, plus up to $300 per person allowances for flight cancellation fees incurred , with proof. However, I don’t know if I will be able to use the vouchers in the next year, and I don’t know how long it will take for Oceania to issue the refunds. Is anyone else in this predicament with this particular cruise ?
