Is Helsingor-Helsingborg more expensive because they are electric ferries or because the distance is that short?
Hi Doug,
We double-checked, and the first ferry from Tobermory to Kilchoan departs at 7:20, there is also a ferry leaving at 9:30. If you pick that one you arrive at Kichoan at 10:05, it will be a 2-hour drive (at least) so you will arrive at ~12:15 at Fort William. The timing all depends a bit on how strict the 12:30 is. If you take the 7:20 you’ll have much more time to take it easy =)

Planning for 2034 will be difficult! =)
However you probably mean 2024, and for that you’ll probably have to wait a few weeks, I dropped them an e-mail about it and will update you here when I hear anything!

Hi Rafal, I noticed the following on the website of the Explore Flex provider:
Meaning it will only provide a small discount, if you have the ExplorePlus package you can take the ferry for free. (Source)
I completely agree, I was there a year ago and it’s a mess. One of the largest ports in Europe to be exact. We’ll focus an article on this in the near future, super interesting to create a map out of this! Follow us to stay up to date about this! =)
Hi Shona,
You can get there in 5 hours! It’s a nice trip though, few hours more or less don’t matter that much in the weather you have there in summer! =)
best, Jochem
Hi Shaunu,
Thanks for your question, if you want to Palma de Mallorca from the UK you have to first get to Spain (Various ways to do this, I would go through Calais-Dover and drive). Then you need to travel to Barcelona, and from there pickup a ferry to Mallorca. Keep in mind though these ferries are over-booked and a bit expensive: Be early with your booking.
Here you can see the complete map and guide for ferries to Mallorca from Barcelona.

Hi Niahm,
Unfortunately: No, these ships are not that luxurious. For that you have to Northern Europe. (Kiel-Oslo for example). The ships on these routes are mainly older ships, some are large though and do provide nice huts & restaurants.

Hi Graham,
I really have to agree here, with 16739+ positive reviews you can’t miss this palace, you can btw easily book this one here. Since this attraction can be fully booked, something you should do in advance.
Thanks for the insights Graham!

Seems a little bit easier (in comments)
“A 15-minute boat trip across the Gironde River to Blaye on the opposite bank. Advance reservations are not required, and if you have a car, just wait for your turn in the parking lot in the order of arrival. Tickets are paid on board after boarding. Credit card accepted. not cheap but very comfortable”
Hi M. Bartolini,
The most common route from Italy to Morroco is from Genua (or Genova) to Tangier.
A long route but quite popular also by German tourists: https://ferrygogo.co.uk/morocco/
The route takes about 50! hours.
Hi G. Hallos,
From Kristiansand you can get to Hirtshals in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. However, this is when everything goes as smooth as possible. You also have to check-in and depart the vessel for which you also have to plan accordingly.
Hi Teddy,
Get to Gozo by Ferry and pick up the Ferry to Comino from there, and yes you can take your motorbike with you and you won’t be the only one doing so! “If you’re arriving in Gozo with your own motorbike, you’ll be taking the ferry. The first thing to note is that motorbikes board the ferry before all other vehicles so feel free to jump the queue!”
To answer your question: It doesn’t really matter that much which ferry you take for this connection.
The most used one is probably Nice – Ile Rousse, but they are all quite similar. If you take the ferry from Toulon for instance it’s much easier to park your car. (EUR 12 for one day) So for different reasons you can make a decision here!
Good luck with your trip!
Hi Peter,
Here you can read more about this: Gozo travelling with your pet.
To summarize: Yes, you can take your pets with you, make sure you follow the regulations though.
Good luck!
