Ferries module for sea routes, cabins and vehicle transport
The Ferries module lets you publish sea and river routes, manage sailing schedules across operators and vessels, and sell deck seating, cabin classes and vehicle transport as one booking. Passengers get instant e-tickets, and you get full control of fares by season, route and class. It plugs into the same B2B and B2C booking engine used by every other PHPTRAVELS module, so ferries, buses, trains and flights share one admin panel.
Everything needed to sell ferry tickets online: route and operator setup, sailing schedules, seat and cabin inventory, vehicle add-ons, payments, and automated notifications, all managed from one back office.
Route, sailing & cabin management
Add unlimited sea and river routes across multiple operators and vessels, then configure seating and cabin layouts per ferry. Passengers can add a vehicle to their booking in the same flow, so cars and motorbikes are reserved alongside their ticket.
