This is a common offer announced by the ferry companies early on in order to boost their sales during the winter period. Schedules and prices are usually announced around November for the coming year (mostly concerns the Italy-Greece routes).

For those of you finalizing your reservation before the end of February, you may be entitled to an additional discount ranging between 15%-30% depending on the ferry company.

Please note that reservations confirmed with the Early Booking Discount cannot be cancelled. They can be moved to other travel dates or made open for travel by the end of the year. In both cases though, you are required to pay the price difference towards the normal catalogue price (ie to the price your booking would cost without the Early Booking offer).

The Camping on Board Service concerns passengers travelling with their camper or caravan between Italy – Greece. These vehicles can be parked on the ferry’s open deck and passengers can stay in their vehicles during the trip.

The cost of this service includes a deck ticket per person plus the cost of their vehicle/s. Power outlets (220Volt) are provided for the camping vehicles and passengers have access to common WC/Shower facilities on board.

Pets are generally allowed on the open deck, as long as they do not pose a problem for the other passengers using the service.

Camping on Board is permitted between 1st April and 31st October.

Instead of the Camping on Board Service, Minoan Lines offers the the "Camping all Inclusive" Οffer for passengers travelling with their camper or caravan between Italy-Greece. This offer includes an inside cabin (AB4, AB3, AB2) for the price of a deck ticket per passenger plus the cost of their vehicle/s.

Camping vehicles are parked in the closed garage with access to electricity (220Volt) but owners do not have access during the trip.

An additional 30% discount is offered for Camping all Inclusive passengers for all restaurants and bars on board.

If you are travelling with your pet, a limited number of pet cabins are included in the offer. These are also inside cabins (AB4, AB3, AB2) where pets are allowed. In this case a small surcharge applies per route.

If you are travelling in a group of 3 or more, you are possibly entitled to a "family" discount. They are called "family offers" but extend to groups of friends as long as they all book the same accommodation category under the same reservation code

Family offers apply mainly to 3- and 4-bed cabins (Α3, ΑΒ3, Α4, ΑΒ4 etc) for passengers travelling with or without a vehicle.

In some cases (mostly on international routes) a discount is also offers for 4+ passengers travelling deck or in aircraft type seats plus a vehicle. Please note that these offers vary from ferry company to ferry company and possibly from route to route.

On all international routes as well as most domestic routes, a return trip discount is offered. If you book your return trip at the same time as your outbound trip you are entitled to a discount (usually between 20%-30%) on the return trip tickets (not the entire reservation).

If you book your outbound tickets and return later to book your return separately, you are not entitled to the return trip discount. Both legs must be booked at the same time under the same reservation code. If you do not know the date of your return, you can still take advantage of the discount by booking an open return ticket.

Please note that open return tickets are issued with Low Season prices. If you eventually choose to return in a more expensive season, a difference in price will occur.
