We sell a variety of travel related products and services from different Travel Suppliers. We, as the Booking/Travel Agent, are acting as an intermediary for products and services that are not directly supplied by us. We are not a co-vendor of such products and services. When you make a booking via our website, you will be entering into a separate contract with such Travel Suppliers in connection with such products and services. We are therefore not a party in the contractual relationship in relation to the products and services you order on our website, unless explicitly provided otherwise herein.
Any enquiries or concerns relating to the product should be addressed to the Travel Supplier. We do not assume any responsibility for the travel products and services provided by the Travel Supplier and we make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the suitability or quality of travel products and services featured on the website.
In order to purchase the products or services offered via our website, in addition to these terms and conditions, the Terms and Conditions of the Ferry Companies (especially those concerning fares) shall also apply. The Terms and Conditions of the Ferry Companies may include provisions on payment processes, late payment, establishing liability, cancellations, changes to bookings and planned routes, refunds (if provided) and any other restrictions. We therefore suggest that you read these terms and conditions carefully.
You are responsible for complying with any Terms and Conditions of Ferry Companies or other providers as regards passenger and vehicle boarding times, ferry departure times or other issues. You are required to confirm with the relevant port authorities your time of departure from the relevant port, considering that in cases of bad weather conditions, high port traffic, any strikes that may affect the ferry routes or any other reasons of force majeure, your route may possibly be delayed, changed and/or cancelled.
After you complete your booking, you will receive a confirmation email with a booking number. This is the moment that your contract in relation to the products and services ordered will come into existence. This confirmation email will provide all the details of your booking. We will then check that your booking has been correctly entered in the Ferry Company’s booking system and that your payment can be correctly processed.
Prices are confirmed at the final step of the booking, when you click “Buy now”, “Make the reservation” or similar, depending on product purchased. A necessary requirement in order for you to purchase tickets and complete the process is to accept our company’s terms of use by selecting the corresponding field in the final stage of the booking process.
By using our Website to book ferry tickets, you are authorising us to act as your agents during the process of booking tickets with the selected Ferry Company and to make payment in your name and on your behalf, as required. As a result, we might charge a service fee for the above mediation service offered to you, depending on the Product you are purchasing.
The total ticket price, its breakdown into the individual amounts it is made up of and any other charges or fees shall appear on the page before you confirm your booking.
Should you wish to amend or change your booking, you will be charged a service fee by our company in the amount of €3 for every ticket. The option to cancel a ferry ticket, as well as the terms and conditions that govern such a change or cancellation depend on the terms and conditions set by each ferry company, over which we have no influence. Furthermore, any costs that may arise in the event of cancellation of a ferry ticket, which is determined by the terms and conditions of each ferry company, shall be incurred exclusively by you. In the event of cancellation, contact our customer service team as soon as possible. The refund of the amount corresponding to the cancelled tickets shall take place within 5 business days.

The Terms and Conditions of the Ferry Companies may include provisions on payment processes, late payment, establishing liability, cancellations, changes to bookings and planned routes, refunds (if provided) and any other restrictions.

When making an online booking, one cannot select adjacent or specific seats because ferry companies do not provide seating charts presenting the available seats on each ship on our website’s booking platform. In any case, the system attempts to place passengers in the same booking in adjacent seats, however this is not guaranteed. Should you wish to book adjacent seats, provided the ferry company you have selected has a seating chart, you can either make your booking over the telephone or at our establishment with the help of our customer service team.
Economy tickets are usually not subject to cancellations. These tickets are offered by ferry companies in limited numbers and involve specific ferry routes. Always read the specific terms and conditions of ferry companies concerning these tickets as they are often amended by ferry companies and our company is not in any way liable for these amendments.
While making an online booking via our website’s platform, you will find the basic discounts offered by ferry companies. In order to benefit from any additional special discounts which are not displayed on our results kindly contact our customer support for further assistance.
Ferry company offers appearing during the booking process only apply if they are also available at the time of issuance of the tickets. It is at the discretion of the ferry companies to withdraw offers in the period between the booking and issuance of tickets. As a result, our company is not liable for any cancellation, change or withdrawal by the ferry companies of any discounts during the above time period.
You can collect your tickets, free of charge, from our company’s offices during our office hours or from the central agents which are usually based at the port of departure/arrival. You are exclusively responsible for the proper and timely collection of your tickets from our offices.
It is impossible for us to notify you about any cancellations or changes to routes (departure gate, change of time, etc.) taking place after the tickets have been issued. You should therefore contact the relevant ferry company or one of its central agents in order to be notified as to the above changes. We will make every possible effort to notify you in due time if there are any significant changes to your booking, provided that we, in turn, are notified in due time, prior to your scheduled departure. We bear no liability for any changes or charges that may occur.
In the case of a manifest error (including any mistakes in the entry of data, calculation errors or typographical errors) resulting in the appearance of a price that has clearly appeared by mistake, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, even if you have received automated confirmation from us. In such case you will be notified as soon as possible so that you can book again at the right price, if you so wish. In any case, you shall not be entitled to claim compensation for the cancellation in question or claim any expenses that may have occurred as a result of the incorrect booking that has already been cancelled.
In certain cases, you may be asked to provide proof of your identity in addition to the information you provide us on the charging and payment of your booking. This information may be requested during the booking process, the payment process or at any other subsequent time. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if we do not receive proof of your identity when requested, without any liability whatsoever.
We also reserve the right to cancel your booking at any time for reasons of safety or protection against cases of fraud. This comes within the framework of our company’s operation and the procedures we have developed for purposes of protection, safety and detection of fraud so that we can receive reports on problems regarding payment cards that have been used, emails used during the booking process, etc. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you using the email address you provided when making your booking. If we do not manage to reach you, we may cancel your booking without any liability whatsoever.
In certain rare cases, it may be impossible to complete the booking process due to a technical problem or complication in the final stage of booking your tickets.
This may occur due to lack of communication between the various systems used during the booking process or due to the expiry of the time in which the booking should have been make or due to a delay in the authorisation of the booking by the bank or card holder.
This would result in the failure to book the selected tickets, however the corresponding amount may already have been frozen.
In these cases the transaction is not completed by the bank and the amount that has been frozen is not transferred to our company’s account. On the contrary, it is held by the bank, in accordance with the protocol applied by banks on secure electronic transactions and card holder protection. Consequently, it cannot be used by the card holder until the bank itself releases the amount. Once the amount is pre-authorised and held in order to charge the amount of the tickets, it will appear in the card holder’s statement of account as having been regularly charged, even though this will not have occurred.
For as long as this amount is frozen, it cannot be used in accordance with the bank’s security protocols, so even if you wish to make the booking, you will have to make a new transaction.
You can try to make a new booking via our website and choose any combination you want. Otherwise you can contact our customer suppor and make your booking through them, by charging your credit, debit or prepaid card.
Ferry Hunter I.K.E., the company that manages and operates the website www.ferryscanner.com is based in Greece. Therefore all charges are in Euro. At the last step of the booking procedure, and prior to purchase, the total amount to be charged in Euro is shown.
We will not be liable for any fees relating to varying exchange rates and charges set by your bank as well as for any other additional fee for transactions in a foreign currency you are charged by your card issuer, in case Euro is not the currency that your credit card issuer bills you in.
Payment can be made by the payment methods listed on our website. Payment methods other than those stated on the website are not accepted and no responsibility is accepted for cash or cheques sent through the post. When you make a booking on our website, you will need to provide us with the credit or debit card details in order to cover the full cost of your booking. We may be required to pass your card details to the relevant Travel Supplier for fulfillment of the booking. You may have multiple charges for the travel service, totalling the amount quoted for your booking. You authorise us or an authorised third-party to take full payment for the total amount of your purchase. When paying by credit card, payment for your booking may be taken directly by the Ferry Company.
We will not be liable for any subsequent price increase as a result of payment failure. Any price increase must be paid for by the Customer before the booking can be confirmed.
We are not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, vouchers or other travel documents, before the payment process has been finalized and we have received the payment. However, in all cases the Customer remains liable for payment of the full amounts for the Services ordered.
In case the payment is processed with a credit card of a third person, we may require written authorisation to be provided by the cardholder. We or the Travel Supplier reserve the right to only to deliver e-tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers or other travel documents to your credit card billing address or email address when requested to do so by the credit card issuer. All email addresses used must be valid at the time of booking.
After completion of the payment and booking confirmation, you will receive all necessary tax documents (receipt, invoice) by email to the email address you have indicated during your booking.
In the case you need to request the issuance of an invoice/receipt, please take particular attention when entering the data in the relevant fields. Any claim for changes to details wrongfully stated by you to an invoice already issued, will bear a charge of €10,00.
