I entered the wrong email address in my check-in, what can I do?
If the ferry company that you are traveling with requires you to check-in before your departure and you have check-in with the wrong email you will not receive your electronic tickets. We advise that you enter your information carefully when checking in.
You can re-attempt to check-in with your correct email address, but if that does not work or the field is disabled, you will need to collect your physical tickets from the local partnering agency which you can find the information for in your My Trips page.

I lost my tickets, what can I do?
When the ferry company you are traveling with requires a physical ticket and you have lost it, unfortunately you will not be able to travel with just your reservation number.
Your next steps would be to first re-book a new ticket, and then contact the ferry company and declare the loss. If the lost ticket does not get used in the next few months, they will replace your ticket. Ferry companies consider the physical ticket to be the official and only copy of proof of travel.
