It is important to mention that it is not common for ferries to be canceled or delayed. Sometimes, however, the ferry company may not be able to avoid it (e.g. in case of a technical issue with the ferry).
Please note that we will immediately notify you as soon as we are informed about a ferry delay or cancellation and we will help you find the best alternative route according to your needs and travel plans. There is also a possibility that you will be notified directly by the ferry operator (via email or SMS) without further notification from our side, in case the schedule change occurs last minute.
We understand how frustrating this situation can be and we will do our best to find the most convenient solution for you, especially when there is a chance that you might miss your connecting ferry or encounter problems with your accommodation.

Please note that as a ticket provider, Ferryhopper is not responsible for delays, cancellations or costs that have occurred due to the aforementioned.
All claims for refunds are submitted from our side and we carry the communication between the customer and the ferry operator, although the final decision stays with the ferry company.
