Are there special offers and discounts on ferry tickets?

Updated over a year ago

On Ferryhopper we support the most discounts available online for ferry crossings. If you think that a discount that you are eligible for is not available on our website, please let us know and we will be happy to check.

Ferry companies, generally, provide discounts for certain types of passengers, such as residents, infants, children, students, and youths. Please note that if you purchase a discounted ticket, you will have to provide the relevant document confirming that you are eligible for the specific discount to board the ferry (e.g. student card, proof of residence, etc.). It is worth noting that for some companies the aforementioned discounts do not apply to all types of seats. For example, according to Seajets policy, the student discount does not apply to Business or VIP seats. Sometimes ferry companies make special offers on tickets for specific dates or destinations. These special offers are immediately available on Ferryhopper.

Furthermore, there are some discounts that are available only for Greek residents and for specific types of passengers: NAT pensioners, war invalids, permanent residents of islands (MAN), and multi-child families. In these cases, you will also need to bring the necessary proof (multi-child family card, unemployment card, etc.). There is also an "Unemployed" discount, which is available only for domestic routes with Minoan Lines and it applies to passengers at the age of 18-59.

Please note that tickets on offer are usually non-refundable. This means that if you book a ticket as part of a special offer, you probably won’t be able to get a refund in case you wish to cancel it. Some companies, however, may allow you to change the date of your ticket or convert it to an open ticket. In this case, you’ll most likely have to pay the difference between the standard ticket price and the price of the ticket you purchased on a special offer.

Last but not least, please keep in mind that some special offers cannot be combined with other discounts.
