Superfast Ferries

What Superfast Ferries does

Superfast Ferries is a Greek passenger and vehicle ferry operator that runs scheduled services across the Adriatic Sea connecting four Greek ports (Patras, Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Kefalonia) with three Italian ports (Ancona, Bari, Venice) using a fleet of four vessels (Superfast I, II, III, and Ariadni). The company sells passenger tickets, vehicle passage, cabin accommodations, and onboard amenities such as restaurants, bars, WiFi, and an @sea infotainment portal, alongside dedicated cargo services and packaged holidays built in partnership with Golden Travel. Headquartered in Kallithea, Athens, Superfast Ferries operates as a brand within Attica Group, Greece's largest passenger shipping group, sharing a unified digital environment, single sign-on credentials, and the Seasmiles loyalty program with sister brands Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, and Anek Lines.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model via the superfast.com website, the seamore iOS/Android mobile app (which supports booking management, DigiKey mobile cabin keys, and Seasmiles access), and a call center, complemented by a travel-agency distribution network and tour-operator partnerships. Revenue is largely transactional and unit-priced by route, cabin, passenger category, and season, with discounts for children, seniors, early bookings, and Seasmiles members, plus newly introduced EU ETS environmental surcharges on each leg. Operational credentials include ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, PCI-DSS payment compliance, and membership in Interferry and the Climate ResQue initiative.

The only disclosed AI capability is an Attica Group-level AI VoiceBot for call center intake and routing, which uses natural language processing and speech-to-text transcription. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes for Superfast Ferries as a standalone entity, reflecting its role as an operating brand within Attica Group's broader shipping portfolio.
