The cancellation fee is deducted from the sum returned to the customer, when a reservation or a part of a reservation is cancelled or the sum of the reservation decreases. The cancellation fee is calculated from the difference between the original reservation and the remaining changed reservation. If a multi-leg reservation where the first leg of the reservation or more than one leg is cancelled, the 20% return or multi-leg discount will be canceled from the remaining first leg. No refund will be paid in ”no show” cases.
In a multi-leg reservation all legs after the ”no show” leg will be canceled and no refund will be paid. No refund is paid, if a trip has not been canceled. It is not possible to cancel the return part of a cruise reservation. In addition to the possible cancellation fee a deduction of EUR 15 per reservation for office expenses is always made for each cancellation from the sum repaid. See all Conditions of Carriage.

Making date, route and traveller changes to Standard-priced reservations is possible. Standard-category tickets cannot be changed to Special-category tickets and specific offers used in already made reservations cannot be changed. When making changes any applicable increase in fares will be charged from the customer. If the value of the reservation decreases, the customer will be charged the cancellation fee stated in the terms and conditions.
If the reservation has been changed and it is subsequently canceled the cancellation fees will be calculated as if the original reservation would have been canceled on the cancellation date. Changes to the reservation cannot be made after the check-in for the departure in question has begun. Changes to Standard-priced tickets can be made a maximum of two times and the reservation can be moved forward maximum twelve months from the original departure date.
