Booking
1. Do we necessarily have to book a ticket in advance?
It is not compulsory to pre-book a ticket and one can be purchased at the port of departure. However, LD Lines will not be able to guarantee you an available place and you will miss out on our best deals.
2. I booked my ticket and I would like to make some amendments. Is this possible?
Definitely! You just need to go to the section called “Amend your booking” and be in possession of your booking number and your email address. Here is the link to amend your booking:
Amend your booking
3. Will I need to pay additional costs for amendments / cancellations on my ticket?
An administration fee of £10/12,50€ will be payable for any change to the booking (time and day of departure, itinerary, number of passengers, vehicle type, etc..). Some amendments may be subject to an extra charge due to the difference between the initial charge and the current fare at the time of the amendment. Where the change is made to a less expensive crossing, the difference will not give right to a refund. Special offers may be subject to specific amendment fees and sales conditions.
4. How do I know if my booking is confirmed?
Once your booking is complete, you should receive a confirmation email within 15 minutes. If within an hour you have not received a confirmation email we invite you to call our Customer Service team on 0844 576 8836.

Indeed you can book a cabin for disabled passengers (Telephone bookings only / proof of disability may be requested). For more information please consult our section “Facilities for the Disabled” on our website:

7. Can I book online an overnight crossing without accommodations?
For overnight crossings on our Portsmouth – Le Havre and Saint Nazaire – Gijón routes you are required to book accommodation. You can choose whether this is a free standard seat or cabin, depending on availability and your budget.
8. Is cancellation insurance available when booking my crossing?
