Online Booking
Official Ticket
After the customer completes a payment, the customer will be emailed a temporary booking pass in PDF format. It is not your official ticket. Please go to the ticketing booth at the ports to claim your official ticket equivalent.
The ticketing booth at the ports (see list of ports here) will have a special lane for customers who already booked online where Starlite Ferries Inc. staff will give online bookers the official ticket to be presented upon entry to the vessel.
Discounts
Senior Citizens, PWD and students will have a special rate however these customers will be required to present a valid ID. Failure to present an ID at the ticketing booth can result to forfeiture of the discount or special rate. He/she will have to pay the difference between the regular rate and the bought discounted ticket.
Payment
This online booking system accepts multiple payment methods (see complete list of payment methods here) but no payment is processed on the website. For security purposes, payments are processed on third party sites (PayPal and Dragonpay).
For Dragonpay, every channel has a corresponding validity period for payment to be completed (see complete list here). If you were not able to pay within the given timeframe, your booking will be cancelled automatically. To proceed with your trip, you may need to redo the booking process. If you have questions regarding the validity period for payments, please see this link, email us at bookings@starliteferries.com or message us on facebook.
