This varies from one ferry route to another. Latest check in times are displayed at time of booking and are shown on you booking confirmation email. If you are travelling with pets or require assistance at the port then we advise that you allow extra time.

Usually, the ticket that you purchase is only valid for the crossing that you have booked it for. Some ferry companies do allow you to change your crossing time at the port, but this usually only happens if there are multiple ferry sailings available per day. If your original departure time is more than 24hrs away and your ticket is amendable, you can update your booking in [My Account] and pick an earlier or later sailing.

Contact us by telephone so that we can advise you if it’s possible to amend to another sailing. If you are running late at a time outside of our contactable hours or if you are travelling on a route where there are many daily crossings, we can only advise that you proceed to the port to see if the ferry operator will allow a change to an alternative sailing.
