The Program

Through your GU account, you are able to make online reservations for ferries, day-cruises, excursions etc yourself. Simply select the type of service your client needs, eg ferry tickets to the Greek islands, and follow the steps entering the required information as you go along. You can use the system to retrieve information (departure times, prices, availability etc) or to finalize a booking. In the latter case, the system produces an Confirmation Voucher with all information necessary for boarding. You can print out the voucher and you can also send it to your client by email in any of the languages we support.

The In-House Tool is available to all Affiliate Partners for retrieving information on schedules, prices and availability, ie up to the Payment Step. To be able to finalize bookings through the GU System, the Affiliate must provide a credit card of his/her own in the Profil section. This credit card will be charged for any booking made through the In-House Tool (not the Web Tools). The Affiliate is then responsible to collect the same amount from the client in any way they agree (in cash, by charging the client’s credit card etc).

We offer website owners a variety of web tools such as search boxes, banners and deep links to choose from in whichever of the available language they prefer. They can simply add the selected web tool/s to their website by simply copy-pasting the HTLM code that our system provides. Each time a visitor uses one of these tools to make a reservation, the Affiliate receives the equivalent commission. Reservations and payments can be seen at all times from the Affiliate’s online account.
