Imagine the charm of arriving at your destination by boat – it's an experience unlike any other! While ferries may not be the quickest mode of transportation, they offer a uniquely enjoyable journey. Each ferry provides a host of onboard amenities, allowing you to relax and unwind as you sail towards your destination. Whether you're traveling to the Bahamas, Sardinia, England, Corsica, Ireland, Croatia, Greece, or countless other destinations, ferry travel offers a leisurely way to begin your vacation right from the moment you step on board. At Vivanoda, we offer a comprehensive ferry comparison service with over 1200 maritime routes, ensuring you find the perfect ferry for your journey, whether you're exploring the coasts of the United States or venturing across the European seas.

Find the best ferry companies

Train travel offers American tourists a convenient and cost-effective way to explore both the United States and Europe. In the US, Amtrak serves as the primary rail operator, offering an extensive network of routes and budget-friendly options such as 'Saver Fares.' Meanwhile, in Europe, where train travel reigns supreme, navigating the multitude of railway companies can be daunting for travelers. That's where Vivanoda comes in. From Renfe in Spain to SNCF in France, Trenitalia in Italy or Thalys in Belgium, our platform simplifies the process of comparing train ticket prices, ensuring you find the best deals for your journey, whether it's across the US or through the picturesque landscapes of Europe.

Travel with the best train companies

Today, traveling by bus has emerged as an incredibly economical and practical option for both tourists and locals across the United States. While bus journeys may take a bit longer than traveling by train or plane, they offer unparalleled affordability and accessibility, making them an increasingly popular choice for exploring the vast landscapes and diverse cities of America. With Vivanoda, comparing bus ticket prices and routes has never been easier. Whether you're planning a scenic road trip along the West Coast, a city-hopping adventure through the Northeast, or a cross-country journey to discover America's heartland, our platform simplifies the process of finding the best bus options to suit your travel needs. From budget-friendly bus companies like Greyhound and Megabus to regional operators serving specific routes, Vivanoda provides a comprehensive comparison service to ensure you find the most convenient and cost-effective bus tickets for your journey.

Travel with the main bus companies

Flights

Finding affordable flights is essential for travelers exploring both the United States and Europe. With Vivanoda, we understand the importance of budget-friendly options, especially as traditional airlines now offer competitive pricing. Flying is not only cost-effective, often beating train fares, but it's also a time-saving solution – a mere hour to fly from New York to Miami compared to over 20 hours by bus. Our platform integrates over 500 airlines, ensuring access to thousands of destinations worldwide. With Vivanoda, you'll effortlessly find the perfect flight for your next adventure.

Carpooling

While carpooling may not be as prevalent in the United States, it has gained significant popularity among tourists traveling in Europe. As a convenient alternative to trains and buses, millions of European travelers have embraced carpooling as a convenient and cost-effective way to explore the continent, particularly for travelers venturing off the beaten path to smaller towns and remote destinations. With carpooling, travelers have the opportunity to share rides with locals or fellow tourists, providing a unique opportunity to connect with new people and experience destinations from a local perspective. It's an excellent solution for overcoming the limitations of traditional transportation services. At Vivanoda, we recognize the value of carpooling as a viable option for exploring Europe's hidden gems. Our platform provides resources and tools to help tourists seamlessly integrate carpooling into their travel plans, ensuring they can experience the beauty and diversity of Europe with ease and convenience.

Vivanoda is a travel planner that allows any traveler looking for transportation solutions for a planned trip to easily find deals and tickets for ferries, buses, trains, planes and even carpool deals. Founded in 2013, Vivanoda works with a large number of transportation companies and travel agencies to provide you with the best transportation solutions. Vivanoda received numerous mentions in the national press in several European countries (France, Portugal, United Kingdom, etc.) and received several important awards, including the European Commission's Transport Innovation Challenge. The site is created, based and hosted in the European Union.

Simply search through the form at the top of the page by entering your departure city and destination city. Then, by selecting your travel dates, the application automatically starts a price search with all transport partners (travel agencies, ferry companies, train companies, etc...). If the search returns results, you can choose the offers that best suit you based on the mode of transport, duration, price,... In short, according to what suits you best.

Once you have selected a transportation offer at the price that suits you, you will be redirected to our partner's website. Vivanoda is not a travel agency and therefore does not take reservations directly. It is on our partner's website that you can book your plane, train, bus or ferry ticket in complete safety. All our partners are licensed and reliable travel agents and travel professionals.

You have already booked your ticket, but want to change or cancel it for personal reasons? Vivanoda is a travel planner and currently does not allow you to book your ticket directly. Vivanoda cannot change or cancel your reservation. You must contact our partner directly with whom you booked your ticket. Some tickets cannot be changed or cancelled. Therefore, check the price conditions of the ticket you just bought to see if you can change and cancel it for free or if you have to pay a surcharge.

Vivanoda gets the prices in the search results directly from its partners and in real time. In the vast majority of cases, all prices displayed on Vivanoda are the same as the prices on the website of the partner from which you book your ticket. However, it is possible that there may be a technical problem or a price processing issue that results in an incorrect price being displayed. It is your responsibility to check with our partner before booking that all information (price, date, number of passengers, etc.) matches your requirements.

No. As a travel planner, Vivanoda does not apply any fees to the fares presented. You never have to pay anything on Vivanoda and the price shown is the price you pay when you book your ticket on our partner's website.

Vivanoda collects all transport offers and all modes of transport (plane, train, ferry, bus, carpooling) so you can easily plan your trip, mainly in Europe. We have formed partnerships with several transport and travel agencies that pay Vivanoda a commission on ticket sales. This does not affect you because the prices are exactly the same as on other sites. On the other hand, the presence of advertisements on the pages of the site also helps to finance the site.

Vivanoda is a trip planner and we propose multimodal and intermodal routes, which means that you will find proposals for trips with, for example, a train trip in the first stage and a plane trip in the second stage. So you get a connection between these two modes of transportation. Note that this type of connection is autonomous, i.e. they are two separate tickets that you book on two different partner sites. This means that if your train is late and you miss your plane, the airline is not responsible for your delay. This may result in additional costs for finding another flight. We recommend that you allow sufficient connecting time to avoid this type of inconvenience.

If you have questions about your ferry, bus, train or plane reservation made through Vivanoda on the website of one of our partners, you should contact this partner directly. This partner is in charge of booking your tickets and therefore manages all transactions related to the sale of this ticket (booking, modification, cancellation)

It can happen for various reasons that the carrier, whether it is an airline, train, bus or ferry, unfortunately is forced to cancel the trip. Vivanoda is not responsible for your booking and therefore has no authority to refund your travel. We recommend that you contact directly the travel agency where you booked your ticket and ask them about the refund policy in case of cancellation by the transportation company. In the case of airline tickets, you should know that there are regulations in the European Union that require airlines to compensate for cancellations and major delays. More information can be found on the European Commission website > https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/

When you book a bus, train, plane or ferry ticket with one of our partners, they will send you a confirmation email stating that your booking has been considered and summarizing all the important information about your trip. If you did not receive it, first check that it did not end up in your spam folder and that the e-mail address you provided is the correct one. As a last resort, you can contact the partner of the travel agency you booked with. They are the only ones who can guarantee that your booking was successful.
