The ministry of naval affairs have introduced a law which has been voted in parliament a few days ago according to which some ancillary costs that were infused in the ferry tickets' price have been abolished. These costs were not kept by the shipping companies. They were attributed to third parties such as a mariners' insurance fund and services that are not used anymore like the baggage porters' service.
The reduction in ferry tickets' cost is expected to be up to 10%. The law is in effect as of today June 1st 2011. It is now up to the shipping companies to roll out this cost to the consumer. Some shipping companies have already formally announced that they are doing so, namely Attica Group (Superfast and Blue Star ferries), Aegean Speedlines (Speedrunners) and Hellenic Seaways (Highspeed and FlyingCats). More are expected to follow suit. Danae Travel is monitoring closely this development and we will be posting more news items here as we receive new press releases.

- 05 Jul 2010 - IMPORTANT!! - Strike Announced on July 8th 2010
We regrettably must inform you that a general strike is announced for the 8th of July, date that you have a booking on. At the moment, we do not have any formal information concerning ferries and whether they will travel on that date. We have contacted the shipping companies but they still do not know what will happen. In the coming days, the situation will be volatile.
We are suggesting that you examine alternative travel plans, keeping in mind that there are possibilities that no transport means of any kind may be available (including airplanes).
At the moment, the most probable scenario is:
1. All ferries leaving from Piraeus will not operate at all except night ferries that sail near midnight. Those will probably sail right after midnight. All inter-island routes that rely on this day's departures will be affected as well.
2. All ferries leaving from Rafina will sail.

We will of course keep you informed as soon as we have some news.

Intermediate legs that rely on ferries leaving tomorrow from the port of Piraeus will be cancelled as well. Ships that do not call at Piraeus will most probably continue their operation as scheduled.
Although the shipping companies have not given us any official information yet, it seems highly likely that there will be no sailings from the port of Piraeus tomorrow. Based on past experience, the effect will be cancelled trips for the day except for the routes that were leaving close to midnight and may sail just after.
Ticket holders for the 29th may get a 100% reufnd of their tickets' cost on any of the respective shipping company's port agent or their initial issuing travel agent. They can then issue new tickets for a later date (pending availablity).
As this strike is organised as a general strike of the major unions of Greece, it is very probable that other means of transport will be affected as well, including airplanes.
- 28 Jun 2010 - IMPORTANT!! - Vessel Superjet is not sailing due to mechanical problems.
According to today's communication from the shipping company, vessel Seajet did not sail this morning due to mechanical failure. We do not have any more specific information.
We will be posting any news on our website as soon as they become available regarding the next days' sailings..

- 08 Sep 2008 - Online booking possibility closed with G.A. Ferries
As of today, our website will stop offering the online booking possibility for all schedules of the shipping company G.A. Ferries, as there have been many last minute changes and cancellations in most of the company's routes. These changes happen many times in such short notice or even without notice at all. Normally, when changes occur in a company's schedule, we always notify our clients and also try to find them the best alternative methods to reach their destinations. This is impossible if we are not properly notified and hence, being unable to provide the service level that we think is acceptable, we will no longer make online bookings for the specific shipping company until they are able to provide information in a timely fashion. We will continue to update whatever changes we are aware of in our website for the users to inform themselves but we urge our clients to check their bookings with us and the website frequently for any last minute changes. You can contact us by email for further information.

Features & Improvements
Usage
Usage is the same as you have been accustomed to in the original Danae Travel web site. We have taken the opportunity of the TravelPRO launch in order to make some functionality improvements in the whole application. From now on, the checkout process has been split into three steps in order to be more clear and easy to follow through.
In TravelPRO, we introduce the Customer Reference Code which enables you to instantly track all the issues you want to group under one code (e.g.: Many reservations with different names under the same client). The advantages here are very important since you will now be able to track and recall all your reservations using your own account name regardless of each reservation’s delivery details or other individual data.
Payments
In order to help you avoid the time-consuming pay-per-customer process, we have extended our payment scheme enabling Deposits. With Deposits, you may finance any subsequent bookings up to the limit of your budget. Soon before your budget reaches zero you will receive a low budget notification email so that you may refill it and continue using our services uninterrupted. Refilling your budget can be done by bank or mail money transfer solely for extra security. You may still use your credit card for individual payments if you wish to do so.
Quality of Service
The service provided will be of the same high standard you have been accustomed to from the start of our Internet business. Furthermore, our agents are now trained in order to be able to service professional requests according to the new business processes designed exclusively for this function.

Better Pricing
The Danae website has been given a very extensive facelift. And, to be precise, the look is the least that has changed. In this new website, Danae have incorporated new functionality that will enable users to get more accomplished in less time and with less money. New characteristics include: · a shopping basket where orders may be combined enabling users to be charged one single service fee for many reservations and other purchases such as transfers · a new map display accompanying the well known unique search facility where users will be able to visualize on map and satellite imagery their destinations and routes · a separate section for International ferry reservations where one will be able to explore special offers and other possibilities pertaining to routes to and from Italy and Turkey · Improved navigation through the whole site and better integration with the central reservation system’s (CRS) webpages. The well known characteristics that always made Danae unique are of course maintained hence continuing to give users the functionality that allows to search for a route based on generic location names and not only port names which may be unknown, the numerous delivery options meeting all needs and of course, most important of all, the experienced, helpful, polite and friendly staff that makes it all happen behind the scenes. We have left the best for last. To celebrate the launch of the new website and to thank our users who have shown their continued preference to Danae for their travels, we have decided to lower delivery costs for many of our delivery options up to 19%!! See our booking guidelines for more information. We hope you enjoy your experience in our new site and wait for your feedback.

New characteristics include: · a shopping basket where orders may be combined enabling users to be charged one single service fee for many reservations and other purchases such as transfers · a new map display accompanying the well known unique search facility where users will be able to visualize on map and satellite imagery their destinations and routes · a separate section for International ferry reservations where one will be able to explore special offers and other possibilities pertaining to routes to and from Italy and Turkey · Improved navigation through the whole site and better integration with the central reservation system’s (CRS) webpages. The well known characteristics that always made Danae unique are of course maintained hence continuing to give users the functionality that allows to search for a route based on generic location names and not only port names which may be unknown, the numerous delivery options meeting all needs and of course, most important of all, the experienced, helpful, polite and friendly staff that makes it all happen behind the scenes. We have left the best for last. To celebrate the launch of the new website and to thank our users who have shown their continued preference to Danae for their travels, we have decided to lower delivery costs for many of our delivery options up to 19%!! See our booking guidelines for more information. We hope you enjoy your experience in our new site and wait for your feedback.
