Omio has announced a strategic partnership with Direct Ferries, integrating the ferry operator’s network into Omio’s global travel platform. The collaboration provides access to over 2,000 ferry routes from 150 carriers, expanding options for international travellers.
The partnership, signed in July 2025 and going live in December, enables Omio to unify ferry travel with its existing offerings in trains, buses and flights. It will expand ferry options in regions such as Northern Europe and introduce new multimodal travel opportunities in Southeast Asia, where Omio already connects flights and buses, as well as across North America, where Omio provides booking for trains, flights and buses.
The collaboration also opens new geographical markets for Omio, including Australasia, Central America and the Caribbean.
“We are thrilled to partner with Direct Ferries, instantly elevating our ferry booking options across multiple regions,” said Veronica Diquattro, president of B2C and supply at Omio. “This collaboration represents a major leap towards our vision of seamless global multimodal travel, empowering travellers with greater choice, convenience, and flexibility than ever before.”
“At Direct Ferries, we are proud to support Omio's expansion, one of the world's leading travel brands,” said Niall Walsh, CEO at Direct Ferries. “The ferry sector has traditionally been complex and fragmented, but the Direct Ferries Connect API, acting as a global ferry GDS, now simplifies this through a single agreement and one unified technical integration. It gives Omio instant access to our full worldwide ferry inventory. We're excited to support Omio as it brings even greater choice to travellers worldwide.”
