To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Montenegro Shipping Lines offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Montenegro Shipping Lines?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.
Delay of 3.30 hours before departing and 4.30 hours traveling. So from 3.30 hours announced
8 hours total travel time. No information prior the departing we could have stayed in bed rather than be stranded in the boat.
Staff was very friendly.

Expected arrival at 3:30 p.m., but we ultimately arrived at 4:30 p.m. We were never informed about this delay. We had a connecting trip at 4:00 p.m., which we therefore missed.

The ferry left late. It says 3hr journey. It was over 5hrs. The chairs were cramped. The toilet was absolutely disgusting. The aircon half worked.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. After boarding the ferry, it quickly became clear that there were not enough seats for all passengers. People were forced to sit on the floor or on plastic chairs placed in the walkways, which created obstructions and made access to the restrooms difficult.
To make matters worse, only one restroom was operational (the female restroom), which caused long waits and frustration among passengers. There was also no water available for purchase on board, which is concerning given the sea conditions.
The sea was quite rough, and while one crew member did hand out plastic bags to those who became sea sick, overall the trip felt poorly organised and unprepared for the number of passengers on board.
I hope improvements are made regarding passenger capacity, facilities, and basic amenities for future trips.

- Trip took 5 hours, not 3.5 as stated in the app and on the PDF voucher. But I already counted on this time based on other reviews, so I was prepared.
- AC good, but varied where you sit on the boat. Be prepared and bring a jacket or sweater.
- No WiFi on board, a shame with such an expensive ticket (around PHP2600 pp)

It took 5h instead of 3:30-4h :( People were tired and hungry so had to eat chips they sell on ship. Don't plan any island trips or flights scheduled after this trip.

Trip went well. Not many people so lots of space. It is cold under the AC and this is unusual for me as I’m usually very hot. It does take longer than they say. Our trip took 5 hours, even in good weather. But I wasn’t in a rush so didn’t mind. I wouldn’t recommend anyone have anything booked too soon after the scheduled arrival time - leave a couple hours buffer.

The experience was average. The speed of the craft, seating arrangement, leg space were all good. However the waiting hall arrangements, luggage securing arrangement on the craft could all be much better.

It was on time. We arrived late because of the weather (4h30 time). Everything went well. The seats were comfortable. The A/C was perfect, not too hot, not too cold.
Maybe it would be great to warn us about the government fees we have to pay so that we can be prepared. 20 PHP on departure and 200 PHP once arrived.

After reading the reviews we had low expectations of this trip. We boarded about 11:45 but didn’t leave until 12:15. Also the fact this is advertised as a 3.5hr ferry is a massive lie it was around 5hrs in total. It’s a shame because if they’d just advertised this as the correct time we wouldn’t have had any complaints

Great journey, pick up your paper ticket from the office (no queue and took seconds), go to the port one hour before departure, pay 20 pesos terminal fee. Went straight to the AC and fan room, bags scanned and sniffer dogs here. Boat departed on time, took 4 hours, the AC was on the perfect amount but other people complained it was too cold... Have more clothes to hand if you feel the cold

Even after buying ticket online you need to get a ticket in the counter, that only one lady is serving for all cruises. You wait one hour at 5am in the line for a ticket you already have, ferry needs to wait, we finally left around half an hour later, and arrived almost 2 hours late. At least in the end we arrived to destination.
