Cost of Ferry tickets
Please select the question relating to your query.01. Ticket value
The price indicated on your ferry ticket is the FINAL SET TICKET PRICE. The ticket price is the SAME regardless of the vendor –your ticket costs the same even when purchasing it from the ferry company or a travel agency- and your location.
Whether you purchase your ticket in Greece, another European country or even outside Europe, the cost of your ticket is exactly the same.
This price may include discounts you are entitled to, but these discounts and offers are also predefined and apply to everyone that meets the specific criteria, regardless of where they book their tickets from.
The value of your ticket is directly connected to the pricing policy of the ferry company. Prices are relevant to the route, accommodation category and seasonality (low, mid and high season).
Return trip tickets usually include a discount on the inbound ticket. Ferry companies who do not offer return trip discounts only have one price per category per season in their pricelist.

Only for international route reservation with Anek-Superfast Ferries
The unfavorable economic situation in Greece has dramatically affected maritime transports. Some Greek ferry companies have been forced, as they claim, to make joint ventures and cut costs in order to survive, starting with the reduction of their commissions towards partner agencies.
The joint venture of Anek Lines and Superfast Ferries has dramatically reduced the profit rate of our cooperation in the last 3 years. In January 2012 we accepted a reduction of 30%. A year and a half later, in May 2014, our commission was reduced yet again, this time by another 23%!
They continue this policy to this day employing new methods for cost reduction, such as the addition of fuel surcharges regardless of the decrease in oil prices, for the sole purpose of minimizing their partners’ earnings. This surcharge is collected by the partner agencies, but not only is no commission is earned, we are also burdened with the credit card commissions that arise from these amounts and have to pay for them out of our own ‘pockets’.
Our company Greekferries Club SA, is admittedly one of the biggest partners of Anek Lines and Superfast Ferries. Unfortunately the extreme reduction of commissions imposed on us no longer covers the expenses and salaries of our qualified employees, responsible for the sales and promotion of this joint collaboration.
In order to continue providing the current level of reliable services to our trusting and demanding customers as well as the 300,000 Greekferries Club members in 7 different languages, we are forced to apply a service fee to sales with the above mentioned companies. (For reservations with other companies where our commission has not been reduced, no service fees apply).
Our charges are as follows:

Greekferries Club - Bonus per Mile | |

Up to 150 € | 10 € | 5 € |

Only for international route reservation with Minoan Lines – Grimaldi Group
Ferry reservations with Minoan Lines / Grimaldi Group,
for the international routes Italy-Greece-Italy.
Our Travel Organization, our company, has cooperated successfully and continuously with Minoan Lines for over 40 years.
Unfortunately, the circumstances in recent years including the pandemic period, have brough about dramatic repercussions
for the travel industry in general, but even more so for travel by ferry.
The new conditions required extensive and repeated support and updating of our customers who had already made
travel arrangements for 2020 and 2021, and were confronted with the difficulties and restrictions that resulted from Covid-19.
Furthermore, the unreasonably frequent changes of itineraries, schedules and ships, requires our team to attend to each
booking 10-15 times.
Unfortunately, in 2021 we were once again called upon to amend all bookings, due to the fact that Minoan Lines-Grimaldi Group
decided unexpectedly to replace their entire fleet long after initial schedules had been announced.
In order for us to maintain the quality of services -in 8 different languages- that our 1.000.000 repeater customers and
over 300.000 Greekferries Club member are accustomed to, we are forced to request a service fee for our bookings with
Minoan Lines-Grimaldi Group.
The following charges will apply from today onwards:
