> Conventional Ferries
Conventional ferries are large vessels with deck seats and indoor lounges. Moreover, they have large garages, capable of carrying a great number of vehicles, so you can take your car or motorbike with you. There are also eating establishments. They are the best option if you are traveling with a pet, as there are designated pet-keeping areas too. They are more budget-friendly and are rarely affected by bad weather conditions, so they usually run on time. On the downside, they are slower than high-speed ferries.

Price range: €35.00 - €122.50

Many high-speed vessels do not have a garage and those that do only have a limited vehicle capacity. Due to their smaller size, high-speed vessels are more easily affected by bad weather conditions, so there may be delays.

Price range: €43.00 - €145.70
Vehicle: €30.00 - €59.70 (Moto), €59.00 - €89.00 (Car)
