Passengers can choose from a range of ticket options, including economy, express, and classic tickets depending on their preferences and budget.

However if you for instance look at these options they are rather difficult to understand, also if you book at Colonia Express you don't get these options translated, so we did that for you, and even with translation it's difficult to understand:

What we can understand is that you can only book Super Economica through the web, meaning the prices are lower if you book online! Most English-speaking tourists book this ferry to get eventually to Montevideo, there is a really good and fast bus connection you can use in combination with this crossing. There is however also the option to directly go on the ferry from Buenos Aires to Montevideo.
