Usually, the ticket that you purchase is only valid for the crossing that you have booked it for. Some ferry companies do allow you to change your crossing time at the port, but this usually only happens if there are multiple ferry sailings available per day. If your original departure time is more than 24hrs away and your ticket is amendable, you can update your booking in [My Account] and pick an earlier or later sailing.

The best thing you can do is to call our telephone helpline, so we can help you to see if it is possible to change your ticket to a different sailing. If you are travelling when our telephone line is closed, then we recommend proceeding to the port and see if the ferry operator directly will change your ticket.
