Yes, with your reservation number and the access code you can visit the web site of Alpha Ferries 48 hours before your trip and do the web check in.

You can go 2 hours before your departure to a central office of Alpha Lines and get your tickets printed. There are also normally booths or agencies at the port. Your ticket confirmation will have all the details.

Yes, you can take your pet with you but animals are not allowed pets inside, so they have to travel at the special area outside.

On multiple routes, the company offers a discount of 15-25%.

Children are considered minors aged 4 to 11 years old and infants from 0 to 4 years old.

When you book your ticket with us we will send the reservation number to your e-mail address and next to it you can find the access code.

The best and more comfortable seating in Alpha Lines is the business class lounge.

From our website, you can book your tickets up to one hour before your trip.

Yes, we accept PayPal and if your debit card is issued by Visa or Mastercard then you should have no issues paying by debit card.

From our website, you can book your tickets almost one year in advance.

However, Alpha Lines seasonal routes (those not available year round) may not be bookable far in advance as the ferry companies may release their sailing timetables not far before sailings begin.

This can be as a little as 2 months. So if you don't see a sailing available this doesn't mean that it won't become available later in the year closer to the summer period. Please check back frequently or send us an email for an approximate date of when timetables may be released by the ferry company.

In accordance with European Directive 98/41/EC, it is mandatory to register the names of all persons on board for every trip. For the purposes of registration, the tickets state the passenger's name, sex (male/female), age (adult/child/infant) as well as their contact details.

We also ask for your phone number so you can be easily informed in case of a trip cancellation due to force majeure or schedule modifications.

In summer because Alpha Lines ports can be chaotic, if you are travelling by foot, please arrive at least one hour before your stated departure time.

If you are travelling with a vehicle, please arrive at least two hours in advance.

You will be informed of all cancellations or changes to your ferry schedule either by us or Alpha Lines directly.

However, in the summer months delays are normal and you may not be informed. You have a few choices when this happens.

Talk to the port police. Most ports in Greece have men and women whose job it is to keep everyone safe. They'll be more than happy to update you about the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your ferry.

Find a local travel agency. Many ports will have a nearby travel agency. Even if you didn't buy your ticket from there, they act as informal tourist information bureau and will be glad to help you.

Last of all is the best trick. Download a ship tracker app on your phone or visit a ship tracking website. Myshiptracking.com is the site that most ticket agencies use in Greece because it gives you an updated ETA. A good app to use is Marine Traffic but this will not give an updated ETA but it will show the current location of your ship.

Please note that to use these apps or sites, you must know the name of your vessel (not just the ferry company). You'll find the name of your boat printed on your ticket or your booking confirmation (no matter where you buy your ticket from).
