International Ferry Tickets and Trips

Important Points and Tips for Purchasing Ferry Tickets Abroad

• Compare ferry ticket prices : Ferry ticket prices may vary depending on factors such as ferry company, sailing date, time, port of departure and arrival, number of passengers, vehicle type and seating. Therefore, it is recommended to compare the prices of different ferry companies before buying a ferry ticket.
• Book a ferry ticket : By booking a ferry ticket, you can protect yourself from possible increases in ferry ticket prices.
• Read the ferry ticket cancellation and refund conditions : By reading the ferry ticket cancellation and refund conditions, you can learn what steps you need to take when you need to cancel or refund your ferry ticket.

Visa Procedures

• Visa application : Visa application is made to the consulate or embassy of the country you want to get a visa from. When applying for a visa, your passport, photo, visa application form, visa fee and other required documents must be submitted.
• Visa application process : The visa application process may vary depending on the consulate or embassy of the country from which you wish to obtain a visa. Usually the visa application process takes a few weeks.
• Visa result : If the visa application is rejected, the visa application fee is not refunded. One reason why your visa application may be rejected may be that your purpose for traveling to the country for which you wish to obtain a visa is not clear, that you do not have enough money to enter the country for which you wish to obtain a visa, or that you have traveled to the country for which you wish to obtain a visa before.

Here are some important points and tips to consider when buying an international ferry ticket:

• Visa and Travel Documents : First, check the visa requirements of the country you will be traveling to. The validity period of your passport and the dates of your visa must be appropriate for the duration of your travel. If necessary, apply for your visa in advance.
• Routes and Ports : Determine which country or regions you want to go to and suitable ferry routes. Consider ferry options departing from different ports.
• Ferry Company Selection : There may be different companies operating overseas ferries. Choose the best option by comparing prices, service quality, reliability and routes.
• Early Booking : Buying ferry tickets early ensures a seat guarantee and generally offers more affordable prices. It is recommended that you make an early reservation, especially during holiday periods and busy travel times.
• Ticket Prices and Discounts : Compare prices of different ferry companies and follow promotions. Especially look for deals such as student discounts, family discounts or group discounts.
• Check-in Procedures : Complete the necessary check-in procedures in time before your ferry's departure time. Be prepared for security procedures such as passport and ticket checks.
• Luggage and Belongings : Pay attention to the weight and size limitations of the luggage and belongings you plan to carry. Be prepared for extra baggage fees or customs checks.
• Port Rules : Learn the rules and requirements at the ports where ferries depart and arrive. Be careful with procedures such as customs and passport controls.
• Emergency Plan : Consider how you would act in the event of an emergency (such as a ferry being delayed, canceled or changes due to weather conditions). Have your contact information and alternative transportation options ready.
• Knowledge of a Foreign Language : Knowing the language of the country you will visit or learning a few basic expressions can make communication easier. Additionally, it is important to be able to understand signs and information in foreign languages.
