Cancellation Conditions
Passengers may cancel confirmed ferry tickets subject to the following standard requirements:
- The cancellation request must be submitted prior to the operator designated cutoff deadline before scheduled departure.
- E-tickets must be unused and not yet checked in at the port terminal.
- Superdong, Phu Quoc Express, Greenlines DP, Hoa Binh Shipping and Lightning 68 do not refund or exchange tickets on weekends, public holidays and Tet, or when a sailing has fewer than five tickets left.
- Partial cancellations for individual passengers within a group booking are permitted where operator ticketing systems allow.
Change Conditions
Ticket modifications include changing sailing dates, adjusting departure times or updating passenger name details:
