In connection with the new season, the ferry ticket booking platform Ferryscanner has presented travel data for 2023: statistics on the volume of movements and traveler preferences.
Last year, more than 860,000 trips were made through Ferryscanner, with travelers from 181 countries on 640 ships. The most popular destinations were the cosmopolitan Cyclades islands – Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini and Heraklion (Crete). What seems even more impressive is that if you add up the vacation days of people who chose Ferryscanner, they reach 127,661 days or 349 years.
It is also worth noting that passengers book ferry tickets through the platform an average of 25 days in advance, with 2.69 people per booking saying they usually travel with friends or family.
The company has served over 380,000 customer queries on both its customer support and social media platforms, with an average wait time of just over 1 minute, earning a justifiable rating of 4.6/5 stars on Trustpilot and 4.4/5 stars in Google reviews.
