Direct Ferries expands live ship tracking across more operators
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.
Originally launched last year, the live tracking feature is designed to improve the customer journey by providing accurate, real-time information on ferry crossings. With this latest expansion, we offer travellers greater transparency and confidence throughout their journey.
Real-Time Visibility, Improved Experience
The live ferry tracker allows users to view the current location of their vessel on an interactive map, follow its route in real time, and access the latest estimated time of arrival (ETA). This ensures passengers stay informed of any changes or delays, enabling better planning and a smoother travel experience.
Key Benefits for Customers
Live location tracking: View the exact position of ferries throughout the crossing and as they approach the port
Up-to-date ETAs: Access the latest arrival times to manage expectations
Route insights: Particularly valuable for multi-stop crossings, such as those in Greece
Operational transparency: Help travellers stay informed and adjust plans if needed
Enhanced engagement: Deliver a more dynamic and informative booking experience
Supporting Better Travel Decisions
By integrating live tracking across more operators, Direct Ferries provides a more reliable and informed service. Travellers can make real-time decisions - whether that’s adjusting onward travel, notifying accommodation providers, or simply making better use of their time while waiting to board.
Available Across Routes
The expanded live ship tracking feature is available across a broad and growing network of ferry routes and operators via the Direct Ferries platform, reinforcing its position as the world’s leading ferry ticket booking website.
