These Regulations and General Conditions for Membership (“Regulations”) define the operating procedures and conditions of membership applicable to the Loyalty Programme (“Programme” or “Club”) called “C|Club”, organised by Costa Crociere S.p.A. with registered office in Genoa, Piazza Piccapietra 48, 16121 (hereinafter “Costa” or “Costa Cruises”).

Art. 1 - Eligibility to join the Programme

1.1 - Any person who is at least 18 years of age, residing in the countries listed in the “Choose your country/region” section of the website https://www.costacruises.com/welcome.html (hereinafter “Members”) may join the Programme.

Art. 2 - Applicability of the Programme

2.1 - The Programme will be valid on all cruises published annually in the Costa Brochure and on www.costacruises.eu. The Programme will not be valid on Costa cruises scheduled on ships of the Costa Cruises fleet operated by third parties and cruises lasting four (4) nights or less.

Art. 3 - Duration of the Programme

3.1 - These Regulations are valid in full from 1 May 2025 (hereinafter “Effective Date”) to 30 April 2026 and, in the absence of amendments/additions made by Costa, they will be considered extended from year to year (hereinafter “Validity Period”).

For Members on board on the Effective Date, these Regulations are valid and applied on board of each ship from the departure date of the cruise from the main port of embarkation (known as and hereinafter the “Mastercruise”) from 01/05/2025, thus replace for all intents and purposes the previous Regulations that will be considered to have expired on such date and will cease to produce effects for the purposes of the Programme. All Privileges listed in these Regulations and provided for each Membership level will fully replace those under the previous Regulations regardless of the date on which cruises were booked.

Art. 4 - How to join the Programme

4.1 - Membership to the Programme is free and individuals may sign up in the following ways:

- online on the website www.costacruises.eu;

- via the Costa App;

- by calling the Costa number shown on the website or through a travel agency. Anyone who wishes to join the C|Club must confirm that they have read and accepted these Regulations.

Confirmation of registration to the C|Club through the website, the app, travel agents, and the Contact Centre (provisions under Italian Law 232/2016 regarding call centres apply) will be processed within a maximum of five (5) days from the date of receipt of the relevant request (“Request Processing Period”).

4.2 - Given the Request Processing Period referred to in the previous article and without prejudice to the provisions of article 4.3 below, Members who register to the C|Club (as described above) less than one (1) day before the cruise departure date, on board during the cruise, or at the terminal prior to embarkation, will only benefit from the discounts reserved for Members on purchases made after registration. Therefore, in these cases, any C|Club Membership level upgrade will be applied only on the next cruise.

4.3 - New Members who had already taken one or more cruises at the time they registered to join the C|Club will accrue only the points earned with the last of the cruises taken with a departure date in the three (3) years prior to their registration date, providing their registration was completed in accordance with the provisions in article 4.4 below.

Cruises count towards the accrual of Points only if taken by individuals who are 18 years old or over. Members who register and join the Programme within 10 years from taking their last cruise which entitled them to accrue points will access the Programme from the “Bronze” membership level with the minimum number of points (1 Point). Members who at the time of registration have never taken a cruise (or have taken a cruise more than 10 years before their registration date) will access the Programme as “Blue” Members with zero (0) Points.

4.4 - By the end of the Request Processing Period referred to in article 4.1 above, Members will receive an email confirming their registration and containing their C|Club membership number and information useful for accessing their Personal Area. Members are reminded that when booking a cruise, providing the correct C|Club Membership number is essential to obtaining the Privileges relevant to their C|Club Membership level.

4.5 - At the time of registration, Members must enter their full name, as shown on the most recent identity document, date of birth, country of residence, personal email and mobile phone number and accept these Regulations. Registration with an email address or mobile phone number already associated with an existing user is not permitted, even if the existing user is part of the same household. Registration is denied to Members who during registration do not provide a valid email address and mobile phone number or provide an email address and mobile phone number associated with an existing Member. If an invalid email or mobile number is provided, C|Club Membership may be cancelled.

4.6 - The C|Club Membership Card:

a) Will be given to all new Members on the first day of the first cruise following registration to the C|Club.

b) Is personalised according to the C|Club level to which Members belong.

c) Is in the Member’s name and may only be used by its rightful holder in accordance with these Regulations.

d) During the cruise, it also serves as a cabin key, recognition badge for boarding and leaving the ship, and for making purchases on board.

e) A new card will be issued at embarkation on each cruise, to identify the correct Membership level of C|Club Members.

Art. 5 - C|Club point accrual system

5.1 - C|Club Points (“Points”) are the basic calculation unit used by Costa to allocate C|Club Membership levels. Membership levels are awarded based on the total points recognised during the Calculation Period, on the methods described below, and on the provisions in articles 6 and 7 of these Regulations (hereinafter also the “Score”).

5.2 - Score refers to the Points accumulated and awarded to Members depending on the type of cruises purchased. Based on the cruise characteristics, Points may be classified and defined as follows:

i. Cruise Night Points: points earned based on the number of nights spent on board Costa ships and cabin type/category purchased.

a. Inside cabins: 100 Points per night

b. Sea view cabins: 200 Points per night

c. Sea Balcony/Terrace cabins and mini suites: 300 Points per night

d. Suites (from Suite to Grand Suite): 500 Points per night

When awarding Cruise Night Points in connection with an Upsell Upgrade upon acceptance of the offer, they will be awarded according to the original cabin category booked, not the category assigned in the Upsell Upgrade.

ii. Cruise Fare Points: Points awarded on a flat-rate basis, earned according to the fare paid.

a. All Inclusive: 500 fare Points

b. Super All Inclusive: 850 fare Points

iii. Costa Flight Points: 400 flat-rate Points will be awarded for Costa flights included in the cruise package (whether outbound, inbound or return flights).

Costa flights means the flights included in the “Flight + Cruise” travel package (known as “Fly & Cruise”) purchased at the time of booking the cruise. Other transfer costs such as buses, trains and private transfers will not be considered for the purpose of awarding Points. Flight Points are awarded only for fares that award Night Points. In the case of a “follow me” fare booking, the points will only be awarded to the Member holding the booking, as the second flight fee will be zeroed.

iv. Onboard Spending Points: regardless of the cabin fare purchased, all Members will earn two (2) Points for every euro spent on board, excluding fractions of such amounts, recorded on their Member card. Money spent at Casinos, medical expenses, expenses covered by any Costa onboard credits, and any money spent but recorded on a C|Club card registered in the name of another Member, even if sharing the same cabin, will be excluded. Services provided free of charge and expenses/purchases made using any credits recognised on board are excluded. Points will also be awarded for products purchased and services used on board if these purchases and bookings were made prior to the cruise via the MyCosta Sales portal, with the same Points calculation mechanism applied to expenses incurred on board. In this case, the C|Club Points for excursions and flat-rate drink packages (not based on consumption) or any other product or service will be awarded to everyone who uses the services, not only to the person who made the booking or purchase through the MyCosta Sales portal. In the case of excursions purchased for children/underage Guests, Points will not be awarded for expenses for children/underage Guests. Onboard Spending Points can be accrued for service charges paid on board.

5.3 - Members who book a special fare – Employee, Family & Friends, Travel Agent – or a special group fare – Corporate Incentive/Familiarisation Trip/Students/Charter/China Market or cruises on fleet ships operated by third parties or business cruises or free cruises, will not be awarded C|Club Points. On the other hand, Members who book with a special group fare – “Affinity” (thematic groups), “Kosher”, Promo and any other type of group not listed above – will be awarded standard C|Club Points for the cabin according to the type of cabin and the number of cruise nights, as well as Points for onboard expenses and any Flight Points if the cruise is purchased with a Costa flight sold in combination with the cruise. Fare Points are not available for any type of group fare.

5.4 - C|Club Points (with the exception of Points earned from onboard spending) are awarded only if the cruise is purchased at a standard fare (i.e., non-promotional and non-tactical fare). Points (with the exception of Points earned from onboard spending) are not awarded on cruises purchased at promotional fares with special discounts, or when using free tickets. Before purchasing a cruise, Members should always check the Costa website or ask their Personal/Future Cruise Consultant, their Travel Agent, or the Contact Centre whether the chosen fare and/or the discounts applied allow Members to accrue C|Club Programme Points.

Furthermore, Points will not be awarded to Members whenever a cruise is cancelled by Costa for reasons outside its control or due to events beyond its control. Points will not be awarded whenever Members cancel their cruise for any reason.

Once on board, any cabin changes made by the Member or other Guests who are part of the same booking (keeping the same type of cabin or a lower category) will not affect the calculation of C|Club Points to be awarded for the cruise in question. On the other hand, whenever Members purchase a cabin upgrade on board, the C|Club Points equivalent to the difference in price for the upgrade will be awarded using the same calculation method applied to reward onboard spending.

5.5 - Points will be credited automatically between two (2) and ninety (90) days after the end of each cruise (“Credit Period”). Members may check their Score online on the website www.costacruises.eu or on the Costa App by logging into their Personal Area, or on board by requesting it at the C|Club Point during the opening hours published in the daily schedule.

5.6 - By way of information and for the purpose of full transparency, Costa Cruises informs that any bonus/extra Points, onboard credits or C|Club level upgrade awarded to Members may depend on and/or be associated with the launch of promotional campaigns and/or specific marketing actions intended only for certain countries in which Costa operates and sells its products, and may apply only to certain C|Club levels or specific cruises.

5.7 - After the Credit Period, Members who believe they have not been credited the Points accrued during the last cruise and/or believe their Score is incorrect based on the rules on Point accrual in article 5 of these Regulations may, no later than ninety (90) days from the end of the Credit Period, send a formal request to the C|Club email address (costaclub.europe@costa.it) attaching copies of cruise tickets and receipts for payments made on board the cruise for which they require the Points to be verified. Members can request for their Score to be updated by sending the required documentation, together with their name, surname and C|Club card number, via email to costaclub.europe@costa.it.

5.8 - Points are always awarded at the end of the cruise, not during the cruise, even in the case of back-to-back cruises. Therefore, it is not possible to move up to a higher Membership level during one or more back-to-back cruises, even if they are part of different booking numbers. Members who interrupt a cruise earlier than planned, will be awarded Points for the number of nights actually spent on board based on the fare purchased.

Art. 6 - C|Club Points Validity

6.1 - On the Effective Date, the Points valid for determining Membership level will be:

i. points earned for cruises with departure date on or after 1 May 2022;

ii. any other points otherwise earned, including but not limited to Points earned through commercial promotions or other initiatives (defined as “Other Points”) still valid on the date these Regulations came into force.

Starting from 2022, on 30 April of each year the Points earned for cruises departed in the previous 3 years will be considered valid. By way of example, as of 30/04/2025, Points for cruises departing on and after 01/05/2022 will be considered valid. In the case of new C|Club Memberships, reference will always be made to the Points considered valid at the time of registration among those earned over the previous 3 years based on the method explained in article 4.3 above.

6.2 - Starting from 2022, all Points earned from cruises taken in the years prior to the last three years (using as reference the start date of the cruise) will expire on 30 April of each year.

On 30 April of each year (“Recalculation Date”), Membership levels will therefore be reassessed taking into account any Points earned by Members during the previous 3 years deemed valid based on the rules in the previous articles. On the Recalculation Date, the Scores of all Members, regardless of their Membership level and/or whether they booked prior to the Recalculation Date and of any future cruises already booked and yet to be taken, will be automatically recalculated resulting in a higher Membership level or a lower Membership level, if Points have expired.

Members can check their Membership level at any time, including their valid and expiring Points, by visiting the dedicated section in their Personal Area on the website www.costacruises.eu or on the Costa App.

6.3 - Members are reminded that, for the purpose of assigning the relevant C|Club level in view of a new departure, reference will not be made to the Score accumulated at the time of booking but, rather, to that deemed valid at the time of boarding. Therefore, at the time of boarding, Members may be assigned to a different C|Club level than the one valid at the time of booking for the following reasons:

i. annual expiry of Points on the Recalculation Date resulting in the loss of one or more levels (depending on the number of expiring Points); or

ii. crediting of Points originating from another cruise taken between the time of booking and the cruise departure date resulting in a level upgrade.

In both cases, the Privileges associated with the level that the Member holds at the time of boarding will be provided on board, even if a different level is shown on the travel documents that have not been updated for the reasons previously mentioned. Members are responsible for checking their C|Club Membership level prior to boarding.

6.4 - Members may check their total Points balance and the number of Points due to expire on www.costacruises.eu or on the Costa App, by logging into their Personal Area.

6.5 - Points and Privileges awarded to Members in accordance with the provisions under articles 7 and 8 below are strictly personal and may not be assigned, transferred, sold, converted into cash, refunded, or replaced with any other kind of Privileges, not even to a family member in the event of a Member’s death. Each Member may hold only one account and one C|Club membership number. In the event that, as a result of error, more than one account and/or personal identification number exists in the name of the same Member, Costa will, at the request of the Member, transfer the Points accumulated to a single account and cancel the other accounts and relevant personal identification numbers. Members are responsible for checking that, on booking a new cruise, their personal data and Membership Number are entered correctly and match those provided at the time of registration to the C|Club. Unnotified omissions or changes may result in Members being assigned the wrong Membership level and Privileges on board.

6.6 - Costa reserves the right to rectify Member Scores detracting any Points credited in error and crediting additional Points earned during specific promotional campaigns (please see article 5.5 above for further details on calculation methods). Members will be duly informed through official communication channels and provided with the specific terms and conditions published ad hoc.

6.7 - Members are responsible for checking their Point balance and for ensuring that they have been awarded the correct C|Club Membership level.

Art. 7 - C|Club Levels

7.1 - There are 5 distinct levels (also called “Clubs”) based on Point balance:

1. Blue C|Club, reserved for Members who have not yet travelled and therefore have no Score, but have joined the Programme (0 Points).

2. Bronze C|Club, reserved for Members who have earned between 1 to 5,000 points over the last three years (with reference to 30 April).

3. Silver C|Club, reserved for Members who have earned between 5,001 and 30,000 points over the last three years (with reference to 30 April).

4. Gold C|Club, reserved for Members who have earned between 30,001 and 140,000 points over the last three years (with reference to 30 April).

5. Platinum C|Club, reserved for Members who have earned 140,001 Points or more over the last three years (with reference to 30 April).

7.2 - The transition to a higher Club after taking a cruise or to a lower Club after points have expired will be made automatically based on the Score thresholds shown above. Members can always check their Personal Area in the relevant section on the Costa website or on the Costa App.

Art. 8 - Privileges

8.1 - Members of the Programme, for the duration of their membership only, are entitled to a number of privileges (hereinafter “Privileges”) the nature of which varies depending on the Club to which they belong.

Privileges break down into:

a. Additional services, advantages, discounts or benefits based on C|Club Membership level

b. Gifts

c. Invitations to activities reserved exclusively for Members

d. Discounts and promotions to be used to purchase future Costa cruises or onboard services

e. Any extra Points, promotions or occasional special initiatives. These occasional special events may be intended only for a limited number of Members or usable only for certain countries or cruises.

Sending marketing messages regarding Privileges is necessary to manage the Programme. Service communications may regard but are not limited to: invitations and activities intended exclusively for Members, occasional special initiatives which will be communicated to Members through the contact channel chosen at the time of registration.

The Privileges, as described and listed in the paragraph above, will be communicated to Members through special messages sent via email to the address provided by Members at the time of registering.

The provision of the Privileges is subject to and dependent on Members correctly entering their C|Club Membership number, shown in the confirmation email received at the time of registration, when selecting an option and/or confirm a booking. Privileges, including the C|Club Card, are not provided on board whenever Members are travelling with tickets purchased at promotional fares (including but not limited to “Travel Agent”, “PEP”, “Last Minute” and “Flash” fares) or free tickets, on business trips, or on Employee, Family Passage, Travel Agents or Family & Friends cruises. C|Club Privileges cannot be combined with Privileges linked to Costa special fares or other promotions; therefore, at the time of booking Members should always check whether Privileges can be combined. No Privileges will be provided on cruises lasting 4 (four) nights or less (subject to the exceptions specified in each individual Privilege article), on cruises operated by third parties, charters or Corporate Incentives. Onboard Privileges will not be provided on cruises in Asia with the exception of C|Club onboard discounts and the invitation to the C|Club Show, applicable on all cruises lasting five (5) nights or longer.

8.2 - Privileges, as explained in greater detail below, are divided into:

i. Member Privileges: non-transferable privileges reserved to individual Members;

ii. Cabin Privileges: enjoyed by all occupants of the same cabin, they are awarded to the Guest with the highest C|Club level occupying the cabin.

8.3 - The Cabin Privileges applicable to the occupants sharing the cabin with a Member will continue to apply as long as while on board the Member does not request to change cabin.

Once on board, if Members or their companions request to change the cabin originally booked, the Cabin Privileges of all occupants of the cabin shared in the initial booking who do not change cabin with the Member will no longer apply.

The presence of several Members in the same cabin will not entitle them to multiple Privileges or to cumulate the Privileges listed as “Cabin Privileges”. On board, the order in which Privileges are assigned and the days in which they are assigned may vary depending on the length of the cruise and the organisation of the ship and cannot be disputed by Members. Members shall have no claim against Costa Cruises if Privileges are not provided for reasons outside Costa’s control.

8.4 - Privileges are granted once only for each cruise associated with a single booking number. For back-to-back cruises, the Privileges will be granted for each cruise (back-to-back cruises means a cruise taken followed by another cruise associated with different booking numbers). Back-to-back cruises are not cruises which, despite one following the other, have been purchased together and are associated with a single booking number or “SuperCruise” (cruises so defined because of the repetition of the main port of embarkation along the itinerary). In this case, Privileges will be provided only once, during the first cruise.

8.5 - Privileges are provided to Members based on their Club level. Timing, places and methods for granting Privileges may vary depending on the length of the cruise and the destination. The specific details on how Privileges will be provided will be communicated to Members on board through special communication channels, including but not limited to hard copy communications, based on the highest Club level occupant in the cabin.

8.6 - Privileges will be granted from the date Members receive confirmation of their C|Club registration, not from the date they register in the C|Club Programme. C|Club discounts are an exception as they can be enjoyed on board immediately or the day after registration. C|Club onboard discounts cannot be combined with any other promotions of the same category.

PRIVILEGES IN DETAIL

8.7 - Exclusive discounts on a selection of departures (“C|Club up to 20% off” discounts)

Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Members

Privileges extended to all occupants sharing the cabin with the Member. The discount is applied on standard fares and on the cruise portion of the fare.

“C|Club up to 20% off” discounts, with different characteristics based on Club level and the country of residence of Members, are applied to cruises purchased directly from a Travel Agent, on board or ashore through a Personal/Future Cruise Consultant booking service, on the Costa website, or through the Costa Contact Centre, at the time the option or booking is confirmed, subject to Members providing their C|Club Membership number, and extend to all occupants of the same cabin, excluding children under 18 years, who already travel at a reduced fare. It is not possible to subsequently change a booking to include the C|Club membership number and obtain the discount retroactively. The discounts will be applied only on condition that Members actually take part in the cruise, regardless of whether they are present at the time of booking. Discounts are applicable only to standard fares (which allow the accrual of C|Club Points, i.e. non-promotional fares) and exclusively to the cruise cabin portion of the fare, net of included drink packages, flights, transfers, port taxes and stays ashore, where provided, insurance and/or fuel cost adjustments, and of any other rules that may be specified in the discount description. The option of combining discounts for the purchase of a cruise with any other existing promotions must always be verified and Members are advised to always check whether a discount is applicable with their Travel Agent or with the Costa Contact Centre or a Personal/Future Cruise Consultant. Discounts will be applicable to Members based on the number of places available at discounted fares for each departure. Costa reserves the right to suspend their validity at any time for operational reasons. The updated list of discounted departures is available on the C|Club Offers page in the “C|Club up to 20% Off” discount section of the Costa website of the country from which the booking is made.

8.8 - Special promotions available from time to time during the year (Member Privileges)

Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Members

During the validity period of these Regulations, C|Club reserves the right to make available special promotions reserved to Members (e.g., extra points, additional discounts and onboard credits). Promotions may vary in nature and be offered only on specific cruises, be dedicated to different C|Club levels, apply to specific countries or geographic areas and be available for a limited time. Promotions will be communicated through the official C|Club communication channels (mainly via email) and may award Privileges, including but not limited to extra bonus Points, additional discounts, onboard Privileges or credits. Special Promotions may or may not be combined with other ongoing promotions and it is the Member’s responsibility to check whether they can be combined.

8.9 - Upgrade and SuperUpgrade Privileges (Cabin type upgrade and Cabin Privilege)

Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Members

Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Members: can choose either an Upgrade or a SuperUpgrade (to be used only once between 01/05/2025 and 30/04/2026):

a. An Upgrade (to the next cabin category available at the time the right to claim the Privilege is accrued) can be requested after having taken at least one cruise between 01/05/2025 and 30/04/2026, when choosing an All Inclusive or Super All Inclusive fare on cruises departing between 01/05/2025 and 30/04/2026 and lasting up to 7 nights, excluding World Tour cruises, Christmas, New Year, Vernissage, Inaugural, and Event cruises (including but not limited to Sanremo, C|Club Cruises), charter cruises, Corporate Incentive cruises, and any cruise with departure or end date between 01/07 and 31/08.

The Privilege consists in the following:

· a. the Internal cabin purchased is upgraded to a Sea View cabin.

· b. the Sea View cabin purchased is upgraded to a Balcony cabin.

· c. the Balcony cabin purchased is upgraded to a Mini Suite or Terrace cabin.

The price of the purchased cabin remains unchanged.

b. A SuperUpgrade (to the best cabin category available at the time the right to claim the Privilege is accrued, when purchasing minimum a Sea View cabin) can be requested after having taken at least three cruises between 01/05/2025 and 30/04/2026, when choosing an All Inclusive fare on cruises departing between 01/05/2025 and 30/04/2026 and lasting up to 7 nights, excluding World Tour cruises, Christmas, New Year, Vernissage, Inaugural, and Event cruises (including but not limited to Sanremo, C|Club Cruises), charter cruises, Corporate Incentive cruises, and any cruise with departure or end date between 01/07 and 31/08.

The same applies to cabins equipped for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility.

All cruises lasting at least 5 nights taken during the cruise calculation period are valid and count towards accruing the Privilege.

The Upgrade/SuperUpgrade Privilege must be requested before departure, not once on board. The number of cruises taken cannot be zero (0).

For the purposes of applying these Privileges, reference is always made to the cruise departure date and the number of cruises made.

In the event that the second cruise (in the case of Upgrade) or fourth cruise (in the case of SuperUpgrade) is not eligible, the benefit may be applied to the first eligible cruise within the specified period.

The cabin assigned with the Upgrade or SuperUpgrade must be available at the time of booking, no change can be expected in the event that, due to a cancellation, the cabin becomes available after booking. The Privilege cannot be applied to a “guaranteed” cabin.

Upgrades and SuperUpgrades can be granted to Members only after Costa has the chance to verify that the cruise on which they wish to apply the Privilege meets the requirements to earn the Privilege.

If Members are on board a cruise that entitles them to the Privilege and the cruise on which they wish to apply the Privilege has been booked on shore, they must wait until they disembark from the current cruise (i.e. after completing the cruise and earning C|Club points) before they can request the Privilege. Members need to complete this operation with their Travel Agent, with the help of the Costa Contact Centre or the Personal Cruise Consultant on shore.

On the other hand, if the cruise on which they wish to apply the Privilege is new and booked on board, the Future Cruise Consultant may apply the Privilege at the time of booking. Please note that requests for the privilege to be applied may only be made from the date of disembarkation from the cruise (i.e. after completing the cruise and earning C|Club points) that gives rise to the entitlement to the benefit. The Privilege is granted subject to the availability of cabins on the ship. Upgrade and SuperUpgrade Privileges cannot be requested on board, not even in the case of consecutive cruises and when the conditions and requirements described above have been satisfied.

Specifically, the customer must wait until the end of the first cruise to apply the Upgrade privilege and until the end of the third cruise to apply the SuperUpgrade privilege, regardless of when the cruise on which the privilege is to be applied was booked, before or after embarkation.

Members are responsible for requesting the Upgrade or SuperUpgrade Privilege. Costa will grant the Privilege only after confirming it is applicable and checking cabin availability at the price applicable on the day on which the entitlement conditions are ascertained. Members entitled to the Privilege who did not explicitly request it before departure, will not be able to benefit from the Privilege retroactively, nor by requesting it on board, and will not be entitled to exchange it for a different Privilege.

Upgrade and SuperUpgrade Privileges include only the cabin upgrade and any drink packages included in the cabin fare. In the specific case of SuperUpgrades to Suites/Grand Suites/Panorama Suites, excursion packages are not included in the Privilege.

The applicability of the Upgrade or SuperUpgrade must always be checked before booking; Members are responsible for checking directly with their Travel Agent, the Costa Contact Centre or the Future Cruise Consultants on board or the Personal Cruise Consultants on shore (who may apply it to new bookings made on board whenever the passenger has already taken the number of cruises necessary to earn the Privilege or whenever the passenger is on board the cruise that will earn them the Privilege provided that, in the latter case, two (2) days have already elapsed from the cruise departure date, i.e. starting from the third day on board). Members may request to use the Upgrade or SuperUpgrade Privilege on mini cruises lasting more than three (3) nights (except for charters, “Protagonisti del Mare”, Vernissage and Inaugural Cruises, and Ship Christenings and C|Club Cruises). The Privilege is not transferable and applies only to the cabin in which the entitled Member is travelling.

For the awarding of cabin Points for bookings made using an Upgrade or SuperUpgrade, the category actually allocated will be considered as cabin actually allocated, i.e. the cabin occupied on board. For the provision of onboard services, please refer to the instructions above based on fares and relevant C|Club Membership levels.

8.10 Change of departure date (Cabin Privilege)

Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Members

All Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Members are entitled to change, only once, the departure date of a cruise booked at a standard fare and choose a new standard fare cruise with departure date within the 30 days prior or the 30 days after the date of the cruise originally booked.

Members who wish to postpone the cruise departure date must make their request at least 30 days before the departure date of the cruise originally booked. Members who wish to anticipate the cruise departure date must make their request at least 60 days before the departure date of the cruise originally booked.

Should the new cruise date chosen be unavailable or if the above-mentioned terms are not met, the request will be denied.

To claim the Privilege, Members must have been registered in the C|Club Programme at the time the original booking was made. If at the time of the original booking passengers were not registered in the C|Club Programme, joining at a later date will not entitle them to the Privilege.

The original booking number will remain unchanged but once the new departure date is requested and confirmed, the general conditions (including but not limited to payments and/or cancellations) will apply to the new departure date chosen.

For each booking made, Members will be able to take advantage of the Privilege only once.

If the cabin portion price and/or the total price of the cruise with the new departure date:

- is higher than the price of the cruise originally booked, Members will have to pay the difference;

- is lower than the price of the cruise originally booked, Members will be refunded the difference of any amount paid (minus any penalties);

- is the same as the price of the cruise originally booked, nothing will be owed or refunded.

The reference price is the price on the date the change of departure date was requested.

Unclaimed Privileges cannot be converted in other Privileges and cannot be used in any other way.

The points awarded will be the points for the cruise actually taken.

The Privilege cannot be claimed (based on the conditions applicable to the cruise originally booked, that has been changed):

i. on group fares and promotional fares (including but not limited to PROMO, Family & Friends, Employee);

ii. on World Tour cruises and its routes, on Christmas/New Year/Easter cruises and on event cruises (including but not limited to Sanremo, C|Club, Vernissage, Protagonisti del Mare cruises);

iii. on cruises purchased with the formula Fly & Cruise;

iv. on the portion of price pertaining to transport or other services linked to the cruise originally booked, leading to the imposition of the penalties applicable on the date the change was decided.

Example:

a Member who has booked a cruise departing on 01/09 can request to postpone the departure date up to 30 days after the original departure date, i.e. until 01/10. In this case the Member must submit the request by 01/08 (30 days before the original departure date); a Member who wishes to request to anticipate the departure date from 01/09 to 01/08 must submit the request by 01/07 (60 days before the original departure date).

8.11 - Fast track boarding checks (at ports where available, Cabin Privilege)

Platinum Members

The Privilege consists in the option of booking the Club Restaurant for dinner; due to the limited number of places, it is subject to availability. The Privilege can be extended to children under 18 years of age of Platinum Members, even if they are not sharing a cabin with their parents; the extension must be requested by the guest directly through the Costa Contact Centre and on board. Please note that the Club Restaurant Privilege does not extend to linked bookings, i.e. “Dining With” option. This means that, whenever two bookings are linked by the “Dining With” option, in relation to a restaurant other than the Club Restaurant, and one of the two bookings earns the right to book the latter (subject to availability), this Privilege will not automatically extend to the other booking. Please note that the Privilege must be claimed at the time the cruise is booked and is subject to limited availability. On all World Tours and their legs, none of the Members will be able to book the Club Restaurant, which will be guaranteed only to Guests who purchase a Suite category cabin.

Platinum Members who are unable to obtain the Privilege at the time of booking, may check the availability of the Club Restaurant on the MyCosta Sales website or through the Costa Contact Centre operator and, whenever available, make their booking. Platinum Members and those travelling in their cabin who do not qualify are guaranteed a reserved area called Club Bistrò in a different restaurant (not available on event cruises such as Sanremo, Vernissage, Inaugural and World Tour cruises and their legs) with a free bottle of wine of your choice from an exclusive selection (which will be offered during the Gala evening), the latter only on cruises of 5 nights or more. On Costa Smeralda and Costa Toscana, the Club Restaurant is the Bellavista. The Privilege is available for dinner only (not for breakfast and lunch, but the Club Bistrò area is available). The Privilege is not applicable when the fare applied at the time of booking was a Group fare, Charter or Corporate Incentive fare, or a promotional Employee, Family & Friends, Travel Agents fare. The Privilege is always guaranteed for Guests who have purchased a Suite; therefore, no reservation is necessary.

Platinum level must be maintained on the cruise departure date in order for the Club Restaurant dinner allocation to remain valid. If the Member who booked the Club Restaurant loses Platinum status before the cruise and then regains it, the original booking will be cancelled. This is because as soon as a Member loses their Platinum membership level, the seats are immediately made available and reassigned. As a result, once a Member has regained Platinum level, they will need to make a new booking at the Club Restaurant. Please also note that a booking can only be made once the Member has reached the preparatory level for this benefit, i.e. Platinum level.

In the event of a massive change of itinerary, cruise or booking, members are responsible for rebooking dinner at the Club Restaurant for each affected booking. This privilege is not applicable on all cruises, even those lasting four (4) nights or less.

Communications regarding Privileges

Receiving all information regarding C|Club Membership and in particular the information regarding Privileges available to Members and any changes to the Regulations, which for all intents and purposes qualify as service communications, is essential and constitutes a condition for participation in the C|Club and for the correct functioning of the Programme. Service information and communications will be sent via email to the address provided by Members at the time of registration. Emails and SMS messages are the only channels through which Members will be informed about any events reserved for them and of the conditions to retain their C|Club Membership.
