Most ferry carriers support web check-in (like airlines). A few remaining though, mostly smaller local carriers, still support the traditional check-in method at the port office. Either way, you will receive all necessary check-in information with your booking confirmation.
go-ferry.com will send you your booking confirmation via email immediately after successfully completing your reservation. This email will contain all the necessary information you need for your trip, including reference numbers and a link to the booking management page for either web check-in or port office check-in.
It is worth mentioning that passengers have to complete their check-in (either through the web or at the port) to receive their actual ferry tickets, the boarding tickets. Without boarding tickets, embarkation is not feasible. The booking confirmation only is not enough for boarding.
Note that go-ferry.com does not send tickets by post to eliminate any chances of them getting lost or delayed.
After successfully completing your booking, an email confirmation is sent to your provided email address. This confirmation includes all the necessary information, such as your booking reference numbers and a link to the My Booking page.

It is recommended to book your ferry ticket in advance. You don't want anything to go wrong and ruin your vacation due to negligence or delay. In addition to plane tickets and hotel accommodation, it's also important to secure your ferry tickets so you know everything is under control before you leave.
There are many reasons why you should book your ferry ticket in advance. Here are some of the most important ones:
- Hotel bookings: During high season in Greece and other popular European destinations, and especially during peak seasons (July, August, Easter, Christmas, Holy Spirit, etc.) it is likely that you will not be able to find ferry tickets if you have not booked in advance. So don't make the mistake of booking a hotel stay without reserving your ferry ticket. The last thing you want is to get to the port and not find any available tickets for your destination!
- Save time: Although we charge a commission for selling ferry tickets, this not only helps you secure your tickets, but also saves you time. You will also receive first-class service and attention
- Wider choice of fares & onboard accommodation options: Buying ferry tickets in advance gives you more departure options, a wider choice of ships and all the onboard accommodation options you want. There is no point in interrupting your vacation or not traveling as desired because you haven't found available ferry tickets. This has happened to many travelers!
- Make the perfect connection: If you want to organize your vacation properly, it is advisable to check all available ferry schedules to find the right combination between air travel and ferry trips. If you follow the right combinations, you will save money and time!
- Get the best deal: Ferry tickets become expensive when booked a few days before each departure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you want to take advantage of the best deal. It is common for operators to announce special fares and deep discounts when tickets are booked at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Don't miss out on these offers!
- A great feeling to have the ferry tickets in your pocket: You will have a great feeling when you hold the tickets in your hands. By making a reservation at go-ferry.com, you can secure your tickets for your destination. You will be relieved to have the confirmation in your hands or on your smartphone!

Bookings with vehicles must include all necessary vehicle details, such as dimensions (length, height), license plate number, make and model.
If you are traveling with a rented vehicle, simply enter "Rented" in the respective fields of car information. However, by the time you know the rented vehicle’s details, you will have to inform us or the port office of the respective carrier you are traveling with. It is crucial that the information provided matches the vehicle you will be using on the day of departure. Any discrepancies may result in additional fees at the port office.
