How to book, change a trip, or request a refund

Book a trip

Watch how it works

Only bookings paid through Maya can be changed or refunded online. Jump to changing a trip or requesting a refund.

Change a trip

Move a passenger to another voyage or a higher accommodation on the same route.

  1. 1

    Open My Bookings and find a paid booking.

  2. 2

    Choose "Change trip" on the booking card.

  3. 3

    Pick the passenger to move. One passenger per change.

  4. 4

    Pick a travel date, then a voyage and accommodation. Only the same route is offered, and cheaper accommodations are not shown.

  5. 5

    Review the revalidation fee and any fare difference.

  6. 6

    Choose "Pay & Revalidate". Your new seat is held for 20 minutes while you pay through Maya. If nothing is owed, the change is confirmed right away.

  7. 7

    Your current ticket is replaced by a new one. We email the new ticket to you.

Good to know

  • You can move to the same accommodation or a higher-priced one, on any open voyage of the same route.
  • A revalidation fee applies: a percentage of your current fare, lower before your original departure and higher after it. Upgrading on the same voyage has no fee.
  • Your new seat is held for 20 minutes while you pay through Maya.
  • Once paid, your current ticket is replaced by a new ticket and can no longer be used to board.

When it is not available

  • Ticket is not paid
  • Passenger has already boarded
  • This ticket can no longer be changed
  • Cheaper than the current accommodation

Request a refund

Cancel one or more tickets on a paid booking and get the fare back, less any surcharge.

  1. 1

    Open My Bookings and find a paid booking.

  2. 2

    Choose "Request refund" on the booking card.

    Tick the passengers you want to refund. Each row shows the estimated refund.

    Pick a reason, add a short note, and enter a contact number.

  5. 5

    Review the estimated refund total.

  6. 6

    Choose "Cancel tickets and request refund". The tickets are cancelled and the seats released immediately.

  7. 7

  • Refunds are returned to the Maya account or card used to pay for the booking.
