  • "Good experience."

    Good experience. Due to the bad weather condition, we “danced” a little bit, maybe because the ship wasn’t very big. We arrived late, but the captain apologised. We appreciated the fast loading and unloading procedures, we received a good services, staff really professional.

  • "Practical Opinion"

    Comfortable ferry, friendly staff, duration time a bit too long, I would suggest to reduce it of a least 1hr.
