Cancelation Policy

Cancellations - Changes

The modification or cancellation of a ferry itinerary, a trip or another product or service and the conditions governing such a change or cancellation are subject to the terms and conditions set by each specific provider. Ferrytraveller.gr has no influence in this process and bears no responsibility for it. The cost that may occur due to the change or cancelation of a travel service, which is determined by the terms of each provider is exclusively covered by the user.

 

Cancellation or modification requested by the customer

 

If the supplier provides the user with the right to cancel or modify the selected product or service, the user is required to inform Ferrytraveller.gr about the cancellation or modification request.

 

For requests submitted online either via email or by phone, at least 4 calendar days are required for processing. For the fulfillment of any modification or cancellation request and in order to meet deadlines as dictated by ferry operators’ policy, an additional period of four days is imposed. The extension is not applicable in cancellation/modification requests submitted in person by visiting either our offices or the ferry operator’s offices, in which case the request will be processed immediately.

 

In the case of a cancellation or modification requested by the customer, Ferrytraveller.gr will refund the corresponding amount in Euros, withholding a cancellation fee of 6€ (six euros) per booking. This fee covers the operational and transactional expenses of the cancellation/modification procedure.

 

In the case that the initial purchase included a service fee, this will be withheld instead of a cancellation fee. Prior to any booking, users must read and agree with the fare and cancellation regulations of each specific ferry operator or the provider of the purchased service.

 

Cancellation or modification caused by the ferry operator

 

In case the customer has purchased tickets for an itinerary that has been changed or cancelled without the customer’s liability, Ferrytraveller.gr will apply all reasonable means to change or cancel the reservation accordingly. In such a case, Ferrytraveller.gr will not charge any additional cancellation fees. In these cases, Ferrytraveller.gr will change or cancel the purchased tickets following the official terms and conditions of the ferry operator involved. Ferrytraveller.gr has no liability for charges dictated by the ferry operators cancellation policy, and the customer is not eligible for any additional claims towards Ferrytraveller.gr.

If the customer has collected paper coupon tickets for a trip that has been cancelled or changed, either from Ferrytraveller.gr offices or from any other ticket collection office, the customer is obliged to return the paper coupon tickets to Ferrytraveller.gr offices, in order to be eligible for a refund. The rule is imposed by all ferry operators when paper coupon tickets have been issued.
