Terms and Conditions - Ferry-only Booking
In addition to our Conditions of Carriage which are available on request or on our website (hereinafter the “ Website”), these booking terms and conditions (the “Booking Conditions”) apply to all ferry bookings with Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网. Please read them carefully before making a booking.
By making a booking, you will be entering into a contract for ferry travel with BAI SA, which acts through its appointed sales agent BAI UK Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 01080495, and whose registered office is at Millbay, Plymouth, PL1 3EW. We shall refer to BAI SA in these Booking Conditions as ‘Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网’, “we”, “our”, or “us”; and we shall use “you” to mean the person making the booking and any person included in the booking and travelling on the ferry.
If you have booked a ferry ticket and accommodation (other than onboard accommodation) with us, these Booking Conditions will not apply. Please instead see our Terms and Conditions - Package Holiday.
These Booking Conditions and any dispute or claim in connection with your booking will be governed by the law of England. You and we both agree that the courts of England will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Booking Conditions and your booking.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Bookings are valid for a maximum of 12 months from the original travel date. For return tickets, both the outward and return journeys must be completed within 12 months of the original outward departure date.
The lead name on the booking will be the person responsible for the booking (the “Lead Name”). The Lead Name must be at least 18 years old at the time of booking (except minors between 16 and 18 years old travelling unaccompanied). The Lead Name confirms that all passengers agree to be bound by these Booking Conditions and that the Lead Name has the authority to accept and does accept these Booking Conditions on behalf of all passengers.
The Lead Name shall be responsible for paying the deposit, and the full price, for making any amendment and cancellation requests, for paying any additional charges in relation to the booking and for all other matters concerning the booking.
At the time of booking, the following information will be required where applicable: vehicle registration number, passengers’ first names, surnames, dates of birth, gender and nationality. The Lead Name must ensure and hereby confirms that the details provided for all passengers to the booking are full and accurate. The Lead Name must also check all descriptions on the travel documentation received after booking and inform us immediately of any errors or instances where personal details do not correspond with those shown on the passports of those travelling under the booking.
We will not carry passengers under the age of 16 unless an adult of 18 years or over accompanies them. Children travelling with an adult other than their parents or legal guardians must have a letter of consent.
For overnight crossings, a cabin or reserved seat must be pre-booked whilst availability remains. Bookings without onboard accommodation may only be accepted on our French routes after all such accommodation has been reserved.
Vehicle and passenger space plus onboard accommodation are subject to allocations and therefore may not always be available with certain types of fares.
Motorised vehicles must arrive at the designated port of departure for both outbound and return sailings under their own power. Failure to do so will invalidate this transport contract and will be treated as a no-show.
All departure/arrival times are estimated and are local - please refer to your documents. Documents are only valid for the sailing dates/times indicated unless otherwise specified.
Luggage sizes in public areas on high-speed services are limited to 45cm (equivalent to hand luggage at airports), all other luggage will be stored remotely for the duration of the crossing.
Onboard facilities may vary depending on route, vessel, dates and time of travel.
Please note that smoking (including electronic cigarettes) is only permitted on designated outside decks with the exception of high-speed services which may be completely non-smoking (please check at time of booking).
To monitor customer service and for training purposes, we record telephone calls.
2. FARES
Fares are based on specific travel dates and times and may require you to return within a specified period.
We are committed to offering you the best available tariff at the time of your booking or amendment request. Fares are subject to change based on various factors including, but not limited to, travel dates, times, number of passengers, and current availability.
Please note that fares displayed online for new bookings may differ from those offered for amendments to existing bookings. This is due to real-time pricing structures and availability, which can vary between your original booking and the time of change. As such, amended bookings may be subject to fare differences and any applicable additional charges.
Fares are subject to availability at the time of booking and may change at any time before your booking is confirmed. We try hard to make sure that the advertised price is the most up-to-date price, but prices can change at short notice. We will confirm the actual price at the time of booking.
Our prices are given inclusive of VAT and include the price of transport, charges and all applicable taxes, fees, surcharges and duties known at the date of publication.
We reserve the right to make a surcharge after the date of booking but before the outward travel date if there is an increase in taxes, fees or charges (e.g. government action, fuel charges etc). No surcharges will be made within 20 days of the outward travel date. In case of an increase superior to 8%, you will be given the opportunity to accept the surcharge or to cancel with a full refund and without liability.
Fares are only valid for the sailing dates/times indicated. Open return tickets are not available.
If you vary sailing dates and times or misuse the terms of the ticket or any promotion, the difference between the cost of your original ticket and the appropriate current fare will be charged. Any additional charges are payable prior to boarding.
A service charge may apply for bookings made or amended through our Contact Centre.
Shipment of vehicles carrying goods which require customs documentation are subject to freight tariffs. For further information and rates, contact our Freight Sales Team on 0330 159 5001 . Please note that if you arrive at your designated port with a passenger booking, in circumstances where you should instead have made a freight booking, then this transport contract is invalid and will be treated as a no-show. Travel will only be permitted if it is possible to make (and you do make) a freight booking, and payment of any additional cost is made in full. In these circumstances, your carriage cannot be guaranteed, and we will have no liability to you when you are denied travel because you should have made a freight booking but failed to do so. For more details about making freight bookings, please visit our Freight website.
A booking made with a sidecar will be priced at the same tariff as a standard vehicle (H:1.83m max / L: 5m max).
The environmental contribution is a fixed amount that applies per crossing from the 1st January 2024 to contribute to the cost of compliance with the IMO 2020 Sulphur Directive and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The amounts are available on the following page www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/information/travel-advice/eu-ets. The contribution is a fixed amount to which discounts and promotional offers do not apply.
3. CONFIRMATION AND PAYMENT
Details of PAYMENT CONDITIONS
Payment for your booking can be made in pounds sterling using all standard payment methods. Please note that ‘cheques-vacances’ are only accepted for payments in Euros for bookings made via our French website or French contact centre. For further information please visit www.brittany-ferries.fr
Booking Option (not available online)
If you contact us by telephone, a booking option and price quote (where a booking reference has been given) may be held for 24 hours pending receipt of deposit/balance; after this point it will be cancelled if the deposit/balance is not paid. Booking options are not available within 5 days of the outward travel date.
Confirmed Booking
We require payment to secure a booking, the amount of which will either be a percentage of the full booking value (with the balance to be paid 60 days before travel) or the full booking value. This is dependent on the type of ticket purchased, which will be advised at the time of booking, and which is summarised in the table below:
| Ticket type | Payment requirements |
|---|---|
| Early Bird | No deposit option. Full payment is required at the time of booking. Early Bird tickets available 60 days or more before outward travel. |
| Standard | A deposit of 75% of the total booking value is payable upon booking, with the balance payable 60 days before outward travel. |
| Flexi | A deposit of 50% of the total booking value is payable upon booking with the balance payable 60 days before outward travel. |
| Special offers | No deposit option. Full payment is required at the time of booking. |
In cases where the booking is made less than 60 days before the date of the outward journey, the full price will have to be paid at the time of booking for all ticket types.
From time to time there may be exceptions to the rules described above. If this is the case, we will advise you of such exceptions prior to booking and the relevant information will be printed on your invoice and booking confirmation document.
If payment is not received by the relevant time, we may cancel your booking. In this case, your travel documents will be invalidated, you will be treated as having cancelled your booking and you will only be entitled to a refund in accordance with the rules set out in the cancellation section below. We shall have no further liability to you in this regard.
Upon acceptance of your booking, we will issue a confirmation document by email, or if requested, by post. It is at this stage that a contract is formed between you (including all persons travelling and named in the booking confirmation) and us. By entering into the contract, you confirm that you are satisfied with the details of travel offered by us and that you have accepted these Booking Conditions.
We shall be under no obligation to issue a booking confirmation to you after you have placed a booking with us. We will not issue such a confirmation if we discover an error in the pricing of the ticket or if the ticket is no longer available. If, for any reason, we are not able to accept your booking, we will inform you of this and will not process your booking further. We will then arrange for you to be refunded any part of the ticket you have already paid, unless you decide to use it towards making a different booking.
4. AMENDMENTS BY YOU
We understand that your plans may change and so we provide you with a range of different ticket options so that you can choose the one which is most suitable for your needs.
If you wish to make a change to your booking after we have issued the booking confirmation, please ask the Lead Name to contact us.
Once a confirmation document is issued, the ticket type and the name of the Lead Passenger cannot be amended.
We do not have a legal obligation to make any changes to your booking, but we may, at our sole discretion, try to accommodate your request. If we agree to make a change, you agree to pay us an amendment fee in accordance with the terms set out below.
| Ticket type | Amendment fee “Per Booking” | Decrease in the ticket price caused by the amendment |
|---|---|---|
| Early Bird | £20 fee per amendment | No refund |
| Standard | Free amendments up to 15 days prior to outward sailing. £20 per amendment less than 15 days before and after outward sailing | Refund by voucher up to 15 days prior to outward sailing. No refund less than 15 days before and after outward sailing |
| Flexi | Free amendments up to 4 hours prior to outward sailing. £20 per amendment within 4 hours and after outward sailing | Refund by method of payment up to 4 hours prior to outward sailing. No refund within 4 hours and after outward sailing |
| Special offers | Amendments are not permitted | Amendments are not permitted |
An extra £10/€10 service charge will apply if you choose to make the amendment through our Contact Centre, where the amendment could have been made on our website.
You will also be liable to pay for any increase in the ticket price caused by the amendment.
When travel dates are amended and the booking is subsequently cancelled, the cancellation fee will be based on the date of the amendment(s) and the date of the outward sailing at the time of the change(s). If, at any point, your booking is amended within the cancellation period (see Cancellations by you and refunds” section), no refund will be due.
The deposit is always non-refundable in case of amendment and/or cancellation.
Where an amendment fee is applicable, it is payable prior to making the change, and it is non-refundable.
All amendments are subject to availability and any applicable fare increases which may be caused by the amendment.
Special offers cannot be applied retrospectively to existing bookings.
Amendments are not permitted for no shows (after scheduled departure time) and cannot be made in a way which will alter the sequence of the ticket(s).
Any exceptions to these terms (e.g. special offers, mini cruises) will be advised to you, prior to accepting the booking.
5. CANCELLATIONS BY YOU AND REFUNDS
We know things don’t always go to plan, and there will be occasions when you may need to cancel your booking. We therefore offer a range of ticket types which have different cancellation rules so that you can choose the best option for your requirements.
The table below sets out the cancellation fees which will apply per person, together with the refund arrangements, depending on the type of ticket you have purchased. Unless a refund is stated to be made by way of vouchers, all refunds shall be made using the payment method used to make the booking.
| Days until first scheduled outbound travel date | Early Bird | Standard | Flexi | Special offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 or more | Non-refundable | Cancellation Fee: 75% of price of ticket or deposit if greater | Cancellation Fee: 50% of price of ticket or deposit if greater | Non-refundable |
| 15-59 | Non-refundable | Cancellation Fee: 75% of price of ticket or deposit if greater. Refund: 25% by voucher | Cancellation Fee: 50% of price of ticket or deposit if greater. Refund: 50% by method of payment | Non-refundable |
