TERMS AND CONDITIONS

GENERAL

All passages, voyages and other services undertaken by the Company are subject to the terms and Conditions set out within this Transport Contract and may be modified or amended by the Company at any time without notice. These Conditions can be viewed via our digital booking channels and are available upon request from any agent through whom a Reservation has been made:

APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CONDITIONS:

The Company enters into a Transport Contract with a Passenger which shall take effect from the time we confirm the reservation by way of a booking confirmation, and accepts to carry Passengers, their Luggage and Vehicles only upon and subject to these Conditions. Where Passengers, Luggage or Vehicles are carried under a Transport Contract made on their behalf by another Person, that Person shall be deemed to have the authority of the Passenger to contract and to have contracted with the Company under these Conditions. The provisions and limitations of the Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea signed at Athens in 1974 as modified or re-enacted (the Athens Convention) and / or Regulation (EC) No 392/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the Liability of Carriers of Passengers by Sea in the Event of Accidents (the PLR), whichever is applicable are deemed to be incorporated into this Transport Contract. Where these Conditions are in conflict with the mandatory provision of law, regulation or convention which governs a Transport Contract or other contract of carriage the provisions of that law, regulation or convention shall prevail but only to the extent of such conflict. All other terms of these Conditions shall continue to prevail to the extent permitted by law. Where any applicable law, regulation or convention imposes or permits to be imposed any limits upon the liability of the Company these Conditions incorporate those limits. This Transport Contract shall apply to any Person who has made a Reservation with another Carrier and then travels with the Company as the performing Carrier. Subject always to the provisions of the Athens Convention, every right, exemption, limitation, Condition and liberty contained in these Conditions shall extend to protect every servant, agent, independent contractor or performing Carrier of the Company acting within the scope of his employment and the ship and every owner, charterer and operator of the ship. The Company acts as agent or trustee on behalf and for the benefit of all such Persons and they shall, for the purposes of these Conditions, be parties to any contract covered by these Conditions.

RESERVATIONS:

According to the S.O.L.A.S. regulation and the EC Directive 98/41, it is now mandatory, for reasons of safety, to state the following information when making your reservation: Surname, Name (Initial), Gender, Date of birth, Nationality, Telephone number, e-mail address, Type of vehicle and Plate number. Passengers who are not residents or nationals of an EU member state are also required to provide additional information such as: Passport number and expiry date. Passengers requiring special care must notify their travel agent or the Company's main reservation offices.

OPEN TICKETS:

Open tickets are valid for one year of initial issuing date. Passengers with an open ticket must reserve their journey well in advance. Open Return fares are always calculated on the basis of the low season fare. In the event that a passenger travels in high season or during a period in which a new tariff is in force, then the difference between the current and the pre-paid fare has to be paid by the passenger. Open return tickets are refunded, if cancelled, as per below cancellation terms. OPEN TICKETS are currently not available. Access to the port is subject to the presentation of tickets with fixed date and time of departure. Passengers in possession of open tickets might not be able to enter to the port, as per the port authorities’ instructions.

CANCELLATIONS–REFUNDS:

Depending on the time of cancellation the following amounts are refunded (special offers excluded):

No refund, in case of cancellations made after the vessel's departure or if the passenger does not report at check-in. Passengers have the right to turn their ticket to OPEN, or to rebook for another date, up to 2 hours before vessel's departure, with validity for one year from the date of initial issuance. If this ticket is cancelled, the date of rebooking is considered as the date of cancellation and the refund is calculated in relation to the original travel date. In the event of a partial cancellation of a round trip of which one crossing has been completed, the passenger will be charged a one way fare and will be refunded as above for the balance of the round trip fare. In the event of a whole cancellation of a round trip, the passenger will be refunded as above (based on the time of cancellation). A request for refund must be made in writing and the refund may take place in a three month period after the last date of travel. Cancellations and refunds can only be settled through the Travel Agency, Premium Sales Agent or offices of the Company, where tickets were issued. Port Agencies may cancel a ticket once check-in has been finalized but cannot refund money.

COST OF CARRIAGE:

All fares offered by the Company shall only be available to the residents of the country in which they are offered and all bookings shall be confirmed on that basis alone. The fares of tickets purchased in other countries or onboard may differ due to fluctuations in the exchange rate. The rates for carriage include port taxes, but any Customs, excise or other duties and expenses shall be the responsibility of the Passenger, meals and beverages are not included. In the event of an increase in the general operational cost of providing the products and services described within the Company's brochures we reserve the right to make a surcharge at the time of booking. In addition a surcharge may be made after a booking has been confirmed and before the date of travel in the event of an increase in the general operational costs of providing the products and services booked. If there is any increase in fuel or other costs subsequent to the issue of the booking confirmation the Company reserves the right to increase the fare by such amount as is required to ensure the fare remains the same in the currency normally applied by the Company or after taking account of such increase, as the case may be.

GROUP REQUESTS:

Group fares are subject to special arrangements with the Company, Travel Agencies and Premium Sales Agents. A group consists of minimum 20 full paying passengers.

The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising from a Passenger failing to follows instructions given in relation to service variations, disruptions, delays or cancellations.

RIGHTS OF PASSENGERS TRAVEL BY SEA (REGULATION EU NO. 1177/2010):

The Company shall endeavor to ensure all Passengers are able to use the Company's services whenever it is feasible and safe to do so. All prospective Passengers, including disabled Persons or those with reduced mobility, are entitled to make a Reservation with the Company to travel by ship on the same basis as any other Passengers informing the Company, upon reservation, or at least 48 hours before the special assistance is required. If a Passenger provides us with less than 48 hours' notice of their assistance needs we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate the Passengers' need for assistance but we may not always be able to provide it. It is possible in such circumstances the Passenger will not be able to travel if the assistance required is necessary for the Passenger to be carried or to embark a ship in a safe or operationally feasible manner. We will provide assistance to disabled passengers and passengers with reduced mobility as a passenger may need in order to proceed to an appropriate seat or cabin accommodation on embarkation, to stow and retrieve Luggage, to proceed (if necessary) to any toilet facilities, and proceed to the ship's exit for disembarkation at the end of the voyage. If a Passenger requires assistance with personal care, such as feeding, breathing, using medication or using the toilet, the Passenger may wish to travel with a companion who can assist. In certain circumstances and where strictly necessary we may require that a disabled Person or Person with reduced mobility is accompanied by another Person who is capable of providing the care and assistance required.

PERSONS WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND PREGNANCY:

A Passenger suffering from a known or suspected medical or health condition which makes sea travel inadvisable on health or medical grounds, or is more than 28 weeks pregnant, must notify the Company of that condition at the time of making a Reservation and upon the Company's request provide a medical certificate confirming their fitness to travel no later than 48 hours before the scheduled departure time and at their own cost. The Company may not accept a Passenger for carriage who is more than 34 weeks pregnant at the date of departure. The Company may at its own discretion refuse to carry any Passenger referred to above even though a medical certificate has been produced and, subject always to the provisions of the Passenger Liability Regulations and the rights of Passengers under any other laws and regulations, the Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising from its failure or refusal to carry any such Passenger or for any other Passenger refused carriage.

UNDERAGE UNACCOMPANIED PASSENGERS:

The Company will refuse to carry unaccompanied passengers who, on the date of travel, are under the age of 15 years. Minors aged 15 or 18 may travel unaccompanied if their parent or legal guardian provides their written consent for the minor to travel independently, at the time of making a booking. The respective Release Form is available at the offices of the Company.

CARRIAGE OF LUGGAGE:

All Luggage shall be properly packed and its contents not protruding, by the Passenger and the Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense whatsoever arising from the Passenger's failure to properly pack Luggage. The Company may refuse to accept Luggage which is improperly packed or labeled or shows signs of damage or presents an unacceptable risk to the health, safety or wellbeing of Passengers, crew or other Persons. The Company shall not be liable for items entrusted to and accepted by it for carriage as Luggage which are not Luggage, except upon proof that the Company accepted such items knowing that they were not Luggage. The Company may deliver any Luggage entrusted to it upon reasonable evidence of title. In the absence of reasonable evidence the Company may refuse to deliver the Luggage and hold it at the sole risk of the Passenger and/or owner. In any such case, the Company shall have no liability for delivery of the Luggage. The Company will deliver Luggage entrusted to it within a reasonable time and subject to these Conditions, but the Company does not undertake to carry that Luggage on the same ship by which the Passenger travels or to deliver it at its destination at any particular time unless expressly agreed with the Passenger. Personal accompanied Luggage used for social, domestic or private purposes may be carried by foot Passengers free of charge. Goods of any type such as those carried as freight or for reasons other than social, domestic and private use shall be charged and paid for at the rates for freight applicable at the time. All personal accompanied Luggage shall be fit for purpose taking into account the nature and weight of its contents which shall be properly packed in and not protruding from such Luggage. All passengers without a vehicle on board have the right to board a maximum of 30 kg of personal luggage. The Passenger must arrange the placing on board or removal of any Luggage brought with him and must ensure that Luggage does not block Passenger escape routes or access to safety equipment or otherwise present a risk of harm to any other Person. The Company shall not be liable for the loss of or damage to moneys, negotiable securities, gold, silverware, jewellery, ornaments, works of art, or other valuables, except where such valuables have been deposited with the Company (or other Carrier) for the agreed purpose of safe-keeping in which case the Company (or other Carrier) shall be liable up to the limit provided for in the Athens Convention unless a higher limit is agreed upon in writing between the Passenger and the Company (or other Carrier) prior to departure.

Lost Property and Unclaimed Luggage Entrusted to the Company:

The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense howsoever caused to any Luggage or other property (other than unclaimed Luggage entrusted to it) left on the Company's premises or ships. The Company may deal with lost Luggage or property in the same way as it may deal with unclaimed Luggage entrusted to it. All luggages and other property found by a Passenger in or on the Company's ships or other premises shall be deemed to be in the possession of the Company and must be handed over to the Company immediately. If any Luggage entrusted to the Company for loading, unloading or carriage on or from the ship remains unclaimed on arrival at its destination, the Luggage may be stored for a period of up to three months unless and until collected whereby the Company may make a reasonable charge for storage. The Company shall not be liable for any loss of or damage to Luggage stored for the reasons described here above. The Company may open and examine the contents of any Luggage at any time, and may without incurring any liability remove or destroy any portion of it which in its reasonable opinion might cause injury, inconvenience or nuisance to Persons or damage to property or compromise the health, safety or wellbeing of Passengers, crew or other Persons. If any Luggage is not removed within three months of the date on which it is received the Company may sell it and out of the proceeds of sale retain all moneys due to it from the owner in lieu of expenses incurred in connection with such storage or sale. If the Company believes the value of the Luggage will be insufficient to cover any moneys due to it and/or the cost of sale the Company may dispose of the same as it sees fit.

EXAMINATION OR DETENTION OF LUGGAGE BY CUSTOMS OR OTHER AUTHORITIES:

Passengers must always attend in Person an examination of their Luggage by customs authorities whether it has been entrusted to the Company or not.

The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense arising out of its failure or refusal to carry any Vehicle or goods in connection with the detention of such Vehicle or goods on account of the application of customs, government or other authorities. During such detention, the Company will hold the Vehicle or goods at the owner's expense and sole risk.

FAILURE TO DELIVER:
