If your clients are looking to travel around the Mediterranean by ferry, booking just got a lot easier. Travel agents now have the option to book ferries in the Med on the Excite Holidays booking platform.
There are more than 1,250 routes across the Mediterranean, including in Greece, Italy and Turkey, so there's plenty of choice for clients. Travel agents can now book the ferries in this network online and take advantage of live availability and instant confirmation. There is also an option for agents to generate an e-voucher for their clients.
The system is simple to use, and handy maps and port lists are included. Agents can access the booking system on Excite's website, and there is also a step-by-step guide to the Mediterranean Ferries system.
Taking a ferry in the Med is a popular means of transportation for visitors to the region. Ferries are by no means a quick way to get from point A to point B, but for those who want to spend time appreciating each and every moment they spend in a destination will enjoy this means of travel.
Many ferries offer overnights, which can be good for travelers on a budget. There are minimal lines, and passing through security is much easier than at the airport. Ferry passengers can also arrive much closer to their departure time when traveling by sea.
Ferries also provide access to some of the region's less-frequented islands and are an ideal means of transportation for clients looking to travel off the beaten path.
One thing to watch out for is that not all ferries are created equal. Some will offer luxurious amenities and accommodations while others will provide just the basics. However, no matter what, they will provide clients with a unique experience traveling the Med.
Travelers have their run of the Mediterranean if they choose to travel by ferry. One of the most popular places to travel by sea is in the Greek Islands, but clients can also connect to Morocco from Spain, travel between Italy and Croatia, take ferries up and down the Dalmatian Coast and more.
Ferries also connect Spain and the Balearic Islands, including popular destinations such as Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca. In addition, travelers can connect to Spain's Canary Islands by ferry, and ferries make it easy for travelers to reach Sicily, Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands. The island nation of Malta is easily accessible by ferry from Sicily.
The options are endless and now more accessible than ever.
