  2. @ Jennifer

    Here you can read more about the ID requirements for most of our ferry routes:
    https://ferrygogo.com/international-ferry-travel-id-requirements/

    This is the currently active summary of travel docs on the route to the Bahamas:

    ” All U.S. Citizen adults and minors must be in possession of a current, valid passport book or passport card which you must show when traveling on this connection. There are however many exceptions to this rule. “

  3. Hi Duytam,

    Did you check out this website?
    https://www.tangalooma.com/day-trips

    Let me know if it worked for you!

  4. I got the following reply from the largest ferry operator in Singapore:

    ” For your information , our ferry is for passengers only. We don’t have transportation service. “

  5. Hi Cha Hi,

    Thanks for your question,

    You can book from Tanah Merah to Bandar Bentan Telani, is that the connection you seek?

  10. Hello, it is advisable to directly contact the ferry company for this matter.

  11. Hi Jeff,

    Thank you for your questions. The company stopped due to many problems, the biggest one probably that it had to leave Eemshaven port. It will be nearly impossible to get your money back on this one. Services already stopped, 75.000 people are victims as you can read on the website of Holland Norway Lines. Here is a website in which you can file your claims soon: https://www.passagiershnl.nl/

  12. Hi Rhian,

    Good question, yet it is! Flying takes you 4 hours and can be done from Seattle! A round trip is about $300/ Should have included flight in this comparison. You can’t bring your car with you on a plane though!

  13. Hi Tyrone,

    I think those 2200 are not nearly enough compared to what is needed to get this going. Demand has to be ‘immense’ if you want this ferry to run.

  14. Hi Ruhaul,

    I honestly think that these 3 ferries are the best way for reaching this island. There are ‘excursion based’ trips available however but we are unsure about water taxi’s.

  15. Sicily is a large part of Italy and has many passengers coming and going by ferry!

  16. Hi Rosette,

    This is simply for safety reasons, they don’t want people to stick in the car decks.

  17. Thanks Nelson,

    We will look into this for a future article, great idea!

  18. @Juana

    Not sure what you mean! Could you explain?

  19. It’s a rainy island. For warm weather you really have to go there June/July/August.

  20. Hi Tara,

    We would advise you to call with the ferry terminals that you want to use. What I do know is the following:

    Most (if not all) ferries servicing Batam-Singapore are the same. They do not have special entrance for wheelchair but the staff on the ferries would be more than happy to carry you into/out of the ferry.

    Batam Center Ferry Terminal is the most wheelchair friendly terminal I would go for.

  21. @Roberto it really is an amazing series, we have one of the biggest fans working here. =)

  22. Hi Patricia,

    There are several websites that can you help with this. Personally I like this youtube Video about the Island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqdARiejJLU!

  23. Thanks for the question Rhys,

    IN Duke Point:

    • $1.00 for 30 minutes, maximum 2 hours
    • $22.00 for each 24 hour period Β· Multiple day parking allowed.

    I think that would cost you $66!

  24. It’s indeed an enormous ship! 800 Passengers is far above average for ferries. Staff is about 80-100 probably!

  25. Hi Bradley,

    Yes that’s the two companies you have to choose from!

  26. @Simone
    The price went up big time the last few years. (except last year) We will try to add the prices for the last 10 years in our research we do about this next year. Thanks for the question!

  27. Hi J. You Caught us there, we will add more in the near future, Canada indeed we haven’t covered that well yet!

  28. Hi Benrita, Yes in most cases you need a passport, you can read all about it here:
    https://www.baleariacaribbean.com/en/get-ready-custom

  29. No Thank you Ticky for using the website =)

  30. Hi Jeff,

    We would go for Newport Beach, as the CA-91W is also a toll route and is now the fastest route to Dana Point due to traffic conditions. Navigate to the Balboa Pier Parking Lot.

  31. Hi Rob,

    The author of this research is on vacation: but will try to answer a small part of your questions. A cruise ship is often more like a floating hotel and way heavier than a ferry. More about how you calculate cruise carbon emissions here: https://theicct.org/marine-cruising-flying-may22/. In the visualization you also can see the difference for travel by ferry on a car and travelling as a foot passenger. The Carbon emissions depend on various factors, including efficiency, distance, size of a ferry, and the number of passengers on a crossing. The data presented here represents averages. In the research, the average emissions per kilometer are considered. So, if no one takes a car on board, you can roughly use the figures for foot passengers.

  32. Thanks for your review Woobie, much appreciated.

  33. Thanks for your review Lenore, very much appreciated.

  34. Hello Ayla,

    We think our map on the Bahama’s page should be helpful. You can zoom in and out to get a better perspective. There is a bridge from New Providence to Paradise Island – but there are no other inter Island bridgets. So travelling per ferry or mailboat is preferred way of travel. From Nassau you can also fly to all the Islands. This website might be helpful to figure out how to travel: https://www.bahamas.com/getting-here/island-hopping/island-hopping-faqs

    Happy travels!

  35. Hi Susan,

    Thanks for your question. If you meant the ferry from Saint John to Digby – then the duration is about 2 hours.

    Happy travels!

  36. It’s a great Island, getting more popular every year!

  37. @Kimberly

    Yes, you can take the ferry to Haines, in your case we would contact Kirsty (or another employee) of Ferrytravel.com, they can surely help with arrangements.

  38. Thanks Cecille, we are running quite some ads on Pinterest, thanks for the heads up! βš“

  39. Hi Cubanita,

    The Only way to do travel to Cuba from Mexico is flying. We personally never even heard of these ferries. I think there was once a ‘plan’ to have ferries from the US to Cuba, but that plan never ended up going!

  40. Hi Nate,

    Check out this page: https://ferrygogo.com/bahamas/to-grandbahama-from-miami/

    With your answer: Grand Bahamas harbor address: Terminal 2, Freeport Harbour, Grand Bahama Island

    Good luck traveling to the Bahamas!

  41. Thanks Big M for this additional guidance, we’ve been on a mailboat a few times and we 100% agree with what you say here: It’s an adventure! You need some time in advance to simply ask at the harbor what’s possible and such, online the info simply isn’t always the best or outdated.

  42. You are 100% right there BergerM. We will add them mid August when they have started and we know more about the ferries.

  43. Thanks we made an error here, we also had an e-mail from someone with the same comment. It’s sometimes difficult with talking about Vancouver Island while Vancouver is not on it!

  44. The ferry is still active somewhere in Croatia. When you spot it let us know πŸ™‚

  45. Hi Meg,

    Yes that could be one reason for usage, (There are also companies who do this for you) but it won’t be enough to get a ferry going between NZ and AU if that’s your only target market πŸ™‚

  46. Hi Redditox,

    We looked at the prices of these ferries and the distance and you could call these ferries above average in the cost per km or mile.
    There are however far more expensive ferries around!

  47. Hi Nicole,

    Yes, we did this route like 5 years ago and we would not have made it back if it wasn’t for the 4WD we rented over there, quite sure no roads were added in the last 5 years! When you go there though, please share some images with us as we would love to have more images for this connection!

  48. Hi GoldGoose,

    It’s a lot of work to get this map completely ready, it’s however on our TODO lists!

    Follow us on Twitter if you want to know more about ‘when’ we will update this map completely (to reflect ALL US connections, the map is currently at 50-60%, though most of the big connections are added)

    Twitter: https://twitter.com/FerryGoGoOnline

    Thanks though for the comment!

  49. Thanks ‘Dog Kennels in Auckland’ =)

    Would be awesome if you would link from your site towards this article that you describe as ‘the most comprehensive guide on traveling with dogs on ferries.” ! Much appreciated and we are happy that the guide was able to help you.

  50. If you need assistance with this trip you could contact FerryTravel.com, I’m sure there can help you with this trip. They are specialized in this region. Do you want to drive and ferry? Ps. if you want to ferry be sure to book these kind of trips months in advance.

  51. That’s a difficult one to answer, the website that they just to have is offline. This connection used to be part of the Marina Island Group: http://www.marinaislandgroup.com.my/

  52. There is a ferry that also brings you directly from Malaysia (Johor) to Indonesia (Batam). It’s about 90 minutes from Johor to Batam, we will also list & analyze these routes in the near future on this website. For now you can find good info about this connection here: https://berjayawaterfront.com.my/ferry-terminal/

  53. So many people use them and say they work… You can never be 100% sure though but there are just too many happy experiences from users, check the 26.000 reviews here for instance:

    https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Band-Wristband-Anti-Nausea-Acupressure-Sickness/dp/B001F731N0/

  54. Good points, normally ferry-lines with competing operators on them work quite ok. We are not pro or against anything within the industry really. Doesn’t matter at all for us: we just provide guidance where possible.

    It’s just that there are so many (huge) cases around the world with lines that are not running well ‘while’ nationalized. And also many cases of lines that run really well due to healthy competition (All ferries on the Canary Islands for example with Fred Olsen and Navie Armas (inc. the fastest ships in the world))

    This one is an interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferry_fiasco

  55. If you look at other countries this is not entirely true as we’ve seen ‘nationalized’ projects like this gone wrong around the world in many countries, also, especially as national services. The best-known example is the ‘Ferry Fiasco’ in Scotland on which simply everything went wrong.

    You are right about one thing though: This connection simply needs better ships, of the 6 ships about 4 of them are like 30 years old. (also with loads of problems appearing unlike other older ships) This connection needs ships like the Fjords FSTR or the Spirit of Tasmania IV.

  56. A single trip with car will be around € 80 – € 100 if you book in advance. You can see a test booking here for that particular day: https://prnt.sc/-oedt1HpzEq-
