At Direct Ferries, we’re passionate about making ferry travel easier by helping customers compare and book ferry tickets quickly and seamlessly. With thousands of ferry routes available worldwide, our goal is to connect travelers with the destinations they love through a simple and reliable booking experience.

Direct Ferries, the world’s leading ferry ticket aggregator, is pleased to announce the addition of four new operators to its B2B platform, Direct Ferries Connect. This latest integration further strengthens our global ferry offering and provides partners with access to destinations across Italy, Japan, and the US.

With more than 4,000 routes across every inhabited continent, Direct Ferries makes global ferry travel accessible through conversational AI. 

Ferry travel is a 4.4 billion passenger market, though for the most part that market has operated offline, fragmented across hundreds of regional operators.  Direct Ferries has spent 25 years building the infrastructure that connects it. 

Today that inventory is being brought to AI for the first time with the launch of Direct Ferries’ search and discovery experience inside ChatGPT.  This launch will enable travellers to find routes across every inhabited continent using natural, conversational language. 

Direct Ferries, the leading global ferry ticketing platform, has officially joined ETOA (European Tourism Association), marking a strategic step toward deeper collaboration within the European and international travel trade.

Direct Ferries has expanded its live ship tracking feature to include an even wider range of ferry operators, giving our customers enhanced visibility and real-time insights across more routes than ever before.
