Greek ferry schedule updates

• 23 Jul 2010 -  IMPORTANT - Air Traffic Controllers Strike action 25/7/2010

  According to our latest information, the strike will begin on 25/7/2010 00:01 and end on 25/7/2010 24:00 EEST.

  Some flights will be delayed and some flights may even be cancelled. All customers are advised to contact their airlines in order to obtain up-to-date information regarding their flights

  If you have arranged for your ferry tickets to be delivered at the airport, your envelope will be there even if you arrive earlier or later than your initial plans.

  If, according to the information you obtain from your airline, you feel you may be unable to catch your transfer and/or ferry, please contact us in order to try and assist you to change your bookings.

  If you have booked a hotel and think you may not check-in in time, you are advised to contact the hotel directly and let them know so they may (if able according to their policy) not charge you for it.

  Finally, please keep in mind that the situation may change in the following days so please watch our news section in www.danae.gr for any latest developments.

• 06 Jul 2010 -  UPDATE - 8th July Strike - Air Traffic news

  During the 8th of July's industrial action, the air traffic controllers and fire rescue personnel will go on strike from 10:00 to 14:00. As a result, many flights will be affected. Air passengers are advised to contact their issuing travel agents for instruction on ticket refunds/revalidations.

• 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.
  3. Ferries operating inter-island routes not going through Piraeus will operate.
  

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

• 28 Jun 2010 -  IMPORTANT!! Strike Announced on June 29th.

  A strike has been announced by two marine workers' associations affecting the ferries leaving from Piraeus tomorrow 29/6/2010.

  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..

• 22 Jun 2010 -  IMPORTANT! Strike on the 23rd June pronounced illegal. Ferries expected to depart as scheduled.

  IMPORTANT! Strike on the 23rd June pronounced illegal. Ferries, according to the press, expected to depart as scheduled

  As of today, our website will stop offering the online booking possibility for all schedules of the shipping company G.A.

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.

Web site updates

• 21 Feb 2008 -  New section for Travel Professionals

  In response to numerous requests from our business collaborators around the world, we have undertaken the task to enhance our web site with some fit-for-the-professional features. TravelPRO is now ready and in service for use by any of you travel agents who may wish to do so.

  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.
