Seamless search: Marina customizes your search and takes you directly to the Results page (Step 2) of our booking engine, saving you time from manual filtering. Though, the more information you "feed" her, the more fields will be completed in the Passenger details (Step 4)
Constantly evolving: Marina is currently in her Beta phase. She is continuously evolving and will soon be able to do even more!
What can Marina do for you?
Marina understands natural language. You don't need to fill out endless forms, drop-down menus, and filters. Simply type what you are looking for!
1. Smart route & availability search
You can simply say to Marina:
"I want to travel from Piraeus to Mykonos in mid-July, 2 adults and 1 car. What options do I have?"
Marina will analyze your request and search through all available ferry schedules. In seconds, she will provide you with the best options and take you directly to Step 2 (Routes/Results) of our booking engine, where you can clearly see the fares and continue to entering personal passenger information effortlessly.
2. Full customization of trips & vehicles
Whether you are traveling with a motorcycle, a family SUV, a camper van or towing a trailer, Marina knows exactly how to customize your search.
Vehicle types: Car, motorcycle, van, trailer etc
Accommodation types: Economy class, airplane-type seats, outside/inside cabins or VIP cabins
Passenger composition: Adults, children, infants and pets
3. More than a search: Your personal travel consultant!
Beyond schedules, Marina is trained to answer general or specific questions regarding your trip. Drawing data from the extensive goferry Help center & FAQ, she can resolve any query on the spot.
A few examples of what you can ask Marina:
"How long before departure should I be at the port?"
"What is the pet policy on the ferry?"
"What happens if I want to cancel or change my ticket?"
"How much luggage am I allowed to bring?"
⚠️Important note: Marina is in Beta version and is learning every day!
While she is incredibly smart at finding your ideal routes and answering your travel questions, she cannot fully complete a booking or process payments within the chat. Instead, Marina does the heavy lifting of searching, filtering and filling some fields for you, and then smoothly hands you over to our secure booking engine (at the Routes selection step) so you can finalize your reservation safely.
Stay tuned, because as Marina learns from your interactions, she will be gaining even more exciting capabilities in the near future!
