If you are planning a trip across the river or sea, but for some reason you are not satisfied with air travel and land transport, pay attention to the possibility of traveling by ferry. Regardless of the purpose of your itinerary (tourism or business), a ferry trip will become a kind of cruise for you. And this is not surprising, because modern ferries are multi-deck ships with a wide variety of entertainment: cafes, restaurants, discos, swimming pools, cinemas, etc. The main difference between a ferry trip and a cruise ship trip is that the route passes close to the coast, which allows you to admire the delightful scenery. If you have opted for a ferry, there are several ways to purchase tickets.
Instructions
Step 1
For the backpacker traveler, perhaps the easiest choice is to leave all the worries to the travel organization you trust. The company's specialists will take into account all the necessary formalities, and you will only have to enjoy the trip.
Step 2
You can also purchase ferry tickets directly at the ticket offices of shipping companies that organize ferry trips. However, this method is not suitable for everyone, because such ticket offices are located in the cities that are the starting point of the ferry route. And, accordingly, they are not always available for those who plan to start traveling from remote settlements.
Step 3
Perhaps the easiest way to buy a ferry ticket is to book it online. To do this, you first need to find a site that offers directions that interest you and make sure it is reliable. Then calculate the cost of your ticket. As a rule, the site has an online calculator service that will give the amount after entering the points of departure and destination, as well as the travel period and cabin class. If there is no online calculator, please request a quote using the contact information provided on the website. After you have decided on the cost, you will be sent an invoice for prepayment and an electronic ticket for the ferry by e-mail. You can also pay the bill without leaving their home using a credit card or one of the electronic payment systems. If you do not have the opportunity to pay for the ticket via the Internet, you can do it in cash at any branch of the bank. Upon arrival at the port, you will only need to give your name and the number of the e-ticket for the ferry. A ferry ride is a convenient way to travel, both for tourists and business people, because combines comfort, a wide range of entertainment and new impressions of the places visited.
