If the operator has decided to cancel the departure you should ask for more detailed information from the operator of the ferry for which you bought the voucher.

CHANGING
How can a reservation be changed?
The conditions for changing a voucher differ from operator to operator and can involve additional expenses for the voucher buyer. If the voucher can be changed, it generally means that it can be exchanged for another departure of the same operator. Usually, special offers cannot be changed. Information about restrictions that apply for changing the voucher is generally displayed in the reservations system along with the special offer; the restrictions are also noted on the voucher itself.
To change a reservation, send a request by e-mail to laivaliput@estravel.ee (the application for the change is processed within 24 hours on workdays); it is also possible to change the reservation by directly contacting the customer service of the respective operator (only if there are less than 24 hours to the departure). For changing reservation, Laivaliput.fi charges a fee of 8 €.
Is it possible and how can the data for a vehicle be changed on the reservation?
Changing the data for a vehicle depends on the conditions of the operator. Generally, the registration data for a vehicle can be changed for free at the terminal’s check-in; if at the time of voucher registration the dimensions of the vehicle surpass the dimensions on the reservation, the customer must pay the difference. Vehicles larger than that stated on the reservation are only allowed on the ferry if there is enough room on the car deck.
Is it possible and how can the details for a passenger be changed?
The person who made the reservation can change passenger details. Generally, passenger details can be changed at the terminal’s check-in prior to departure and also through the operator’s customer service. Changing depends on the operator’s established conditions.
CANCELLING
How is a reservation cancelled?
