California has enacted a new consumer protection law, which requires that the advertised price offered to consumers include many components of the current fees and taxes that are currently displayed separately from the advertised price.
MSC Cruises will include all fees and taxes in all advertised prices throughout the US to ensure full compliance with the new law and to avoid consumer confusion.
This is only a change in the way the cruise prices are advertised. This does not impact the total price consumers pay today or the commissionable portion of the cruise fare offered to our travel partners.
While California’s new law takes effect July 1, 2024, we are implementing our changes in advertising June 26, 2024.
