Useful information before the departure

Dear passenger, thank you for choosing Adria Ferries for your next trip to or from Albania.

Before boarding, we would like to draw your attention to a few simple procedures to follow, in order to avoid setbacks or unpleasant inconveniences during check-in and subsequent boarding.

• Check your ticket. Before traveling to the port of departure, pay attention to the date, time and ship for which you purchased the ticket. We remind you that tickets are nominal and refer to a specific trip. In case of errors or mishaps for which the company is not responsible, the name / date change on the day of departure involves penalties up to 100% of the cost of the ticket.

• Check-in. All passengers must check-in in order to obtain the boarding pass that allows them to pass the subsequent security and border police checks, before boarding the Adria Ferries ships. Check-in operations take place inside the maritime station of the port of departure and are carried out by the staff of the Port Agent. Check-in is strictly closed one hour before the scheduled departure time and it is not possible to carry out any operations after this time.

• Travel documents. Remember that in order to travel, a valid travel document suitable for expatriation is always required. All passengers, including infants, must be equipped with them and the same applies to accompanied vehicles, goods in tow and four-legged friends that Adria Ferries is happy to have as guests on board. Pregnant women will not be accepted for boarding if they have already completed the 24th week. Passengers who have not completed the 24th week are required to submit a written communication to the onboard personnel, presenting a medical certificate issued no later than 72 hours prior to departure.

• Boarding. It is advisable to arrive at the port at least 3 hours before departure time bearing in mind, especially in the high season summer periods, that traffic and congestion of vehicles on the motorway and in the port area can cause slowdowns to your journey towards the maritime station. Once you have checked in and obtained your boarding passes, go to the area dedicated to security checks and keep your documents and boarding pass at hand. Follow the directions for the access ramps to the ship: our staff will ask you for your documents and boarding pass and will show you how to reach the on-board reception or your accommodation. Carriers and tour operators provide free assistance to people with disabilities and people with reduced mobility in ports and on board ships, including during embarkation and disembarkation. Persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility must notify the carrier, at the time of booking or advance ticket purchase, of their specific needs for accommodation, seating, required services or the need to carry medical devices.

• 4-legged friends. If the accommodation you have booked is not such, we would like to point out that on board all the ships in our fleet there are spaces reserved for dogs and cats that can be used free of charge. On the AF Claudia these spaces are located on deck 7, on the AF Marina on deck 9 and on the AF Francesca on deck 8.

• Conditions of transport. Remember and check the Company's conditions of transport, which can be consulted on the website www.adriaferries.com, especially the conditions relating to cancellations and changes in tickets.
