Why do I need to give the names of everyone travelling?

Why do I have to give names of everyone travelling on my booking?

The European Passenger Registration Directive means that ferry companies cannot set sail until they have details of all passengers travelling on their ships. We require full names and gender for all passengers travelling on each leg of the journey. If you are travelling to or from France, you will also need to provide the date of birth and nationality of all passengers on the booking and to make sure the name entered matches the details your passport exactly. It is your responsibility to ensure this information is accurate. You can check your details online in our Manage My Account area.
