Direct Ferries Discount Codes in July 2026

Booking ferry travel with Direct Ferries

Direct Ferries compares ferry crossings from hundreds of routes and operators, helping you find the sailing that works best for your travel plans. Instead of visiting multiple ferry company websites, you can compare prices, sailing times, journey durations and operators in one place.

You can book ferry travel for foot passengers, cars, motorcycles, motorhomes, caravans and bicycles, as well as add cabins, pet travel and other extras where available. The platform works with many leading ferry operators, giving you access to domestic and international crossings throughout the UK and Europe.

For disabled people and people living with long term health conditions, ferry travel can sometimes be a more comfortable alternative to flying, particularly when travelling with mobility equipment or assistance animals. As accessibility arrangements vary between ferry operators and ports, it's important to check the facilities available before you travel and let your ferry operator know if you require assistance.

Booking changes and cancellations

You can manage many bookings online through your Direct Ferries account.

If you amend your booking online, Direct Ferries normally charges a £10 amendment fee, plus any difference in fare. If you've booked a Flexi ticket or added Cancel for Any Reason, only the fare difference may apply. Changes made within the first 24 hours of booking don't incur the standard £10 amendment fee.

If you ask Direct Ferries to make the change through its Messenger service or contact form, the amendment fee can be up to £20, plus any fare difference.

Cancellation terms vary depending on the ferry operator and ticket you've purchased. Before booking, it's worth checking whether your fare is refundable or includes flexible cancellation options.

• Consider booking a cabin on longer crossings if fatigue is a concern.
• Allow extra time to arrive at the port if you're travelling with mobility equipment.
• Check whether your ferry operator offers priority boarding or additional accessibility services.
