Where can I buy tickets from?

You can buy ferry tickets online but there are certain limitations especially related to how far in advance you can purchase. Also, some connections don’t show up on the online booking sites. There’s also the possibility to book via a travel agent. But it’s best to get the tickets directly from the port.

Does everyone charge the same prices?

The prices are the same, regardless of where you purchase them from.

Important note:

It’s always advisable to double check the schedule couple of weeks before departure. The ferry companies submit their schedule weekly so changes might occur from week to week, let alone from month to month.
