Neil Island to Port Blair - ITT Majestic Ferry

• If you are booking your ferry on the day of arrival in Port Blair, make sure there is a time gap of 1.5 hours to 2 hours between your flight arrival and ferry departure time. You will need to be present at the jetty at least 1 hour before the ferry departure time. 
• Book your ferries in the sequence of your travel. An example: if you are going from Port Blair to Havelock to Neil & then back to Port Blair, book your ferry for Port Blair to Havelock first, then Havelock to Neil & then Neil to Port Blair. 
• Please enter all your details correctly. If there is any change in title, name, age or gender then tickets will need to be canceled and reissued. This will incur cancellation charges as per our cancellation policy.
• Your tickets would be issued 3-4 working hours after payment during working hours (9 am to 6 pm IST, Mon to Sat).
• On the checkout page, please enter your full name and correct age as per your valid ID card.
• ITT Majestic offers a comfortable and luxurious journey to Havelock and Neil Island. There are 2 categories of seats: Silver which you can book at INR 1584 and Majesty which you can book at INR 1820

1. Always book ferry tickets before confirming hotels.

We cannot stress on this enough. We have a number of people approaching us every season with a booked hotel at Port Blair (with a strict refund policy) looking to somehow get a ferry ticket from Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) to Port Blair. Unfortunately, once the tickets are sold out, it becomes impossible to get a ferry for that day.

2. Do not leave ferry bookings to the last minute.

Andaman Islands have become tourist hot spots in the last couple of years leading to a shortage of ferries on all routes, whether it is Havelock to Port Blair or Havelock to Neil Island, during the peak holiday season. So, ferry tickets get sold out weeks before the scheduled departures. We advise you to book your ferry tickets online as soon as your plan to visit the Andaman Islands is finalized.

The pricing is higher than government ferries but the journey is more comfortable here. ITT Majestic Ferry booking is relatively easy as schedules are easily available on their website and can be easily booked.

• ITT Majestic only has one deck in which both the seating categories share space. The Silver seats are crowded and have little leg space between seats. You can enjoy a front and side view of the sea from your seats.
• The Majesty seats are placed at the front and therefore, have a larger leg space area. If travelling on a Majesty seat, you will be given refreshments on board.

Why do we not take bookings for Government ferries?

If you want a hassle-free & stress-free holiday, we suggest you to not opt for govt. ferries. Government ferries are primarily aimed at transporting locals and are not recommended for tourists. Go2Andaman does not book govt. ferry tickets.

You can buy the tickets when you arrive in Neil Island. Do note that queues for tickets start early in the morning, are usually long and if you are at the far end of the queue, seats might get filled by the time your turn comes.
