Travel by Ship to Andaman and Nicobar

cruise chennai to andaman

Main Sea Port at Andaman: Haddo Wharf, Port Blair

Ships available from: Chennai, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam

To begin your beautiful journey at Andaman, you may decide to travel by ship. Ships sail from Chennai and Kolkata to Port Blair and back around 3 to 4 times a month. However, in Visakhapatnam, you will be able to take a ship only once a month. Your journey by ship will last around 3-4 days, last over 50-60 hours and make a stop at Port Blair for 2-4 days. 

You can access the shipping schedule over a month in advance for the mainland-island sector.

We don’t usually recommend traveling by ship. But if you’re the kind of traveler who is looking for an unusual adventure every step of your journey, you can choose this option. Although, we’d like to tell you that you’ll have plenty of that on the islands!

A few facts you should know about Travel by Ship

  • Your travel by ship is a 3 to 4 day long journey. Unfortunately, the ship doesn’t act as a cruise liner, which means you won’t be provided with any entertainment options or exciting meals. Before you choose to take this journey, think of the ship as a strictly commercial choice of travel. 
  • The booking process is everything but easy. The lack of convenience can add a little frustration, since you can only make your bookings by physically visiting the Shipping Corporation offices in Calcutta, Chennai, or Vishakhapatnam. There’s no option for you to make these bookings online.

Ross Island is ideally a two part trip, the morning to evening portion includes going around the island looking at the ruins from the era of the British and Japanese rule. the late evening portion includes a spectacular sound, light & video show (yes you read it correctly!!) which has been created specially for Ross island by Revathi (the actress)

cruise chennai to andaman

This is a over hyped, and not worth the time and money spent to reach here. It used to be called the “Paris of the East” when the British settled here. But everything is destroyed now.

The only good place here is a beach that is on the other side. You will need to climb down and up a lot of steps to get there.

It was a perfect location for family fun, the erstwhile Ross Island has all the history of a mini Paris, albeit at the cost of all Indian labour and is an example of the British opulence over poverty stricken India. Perfect for taking pics and the picturesque light house was delightful. We took the buggy as we were a large family with kids. There are deer and peacocks too.

The journey from Chennai to Andaman is not just about reaching your destination; it's about embracing the sea, experiencing the thrill of cruising, and indulging in the serenity of the ocean.

One of the prominent cruise operators for this route is the "MV Nicobar", which offers a comfortable and memorable voyage. This cruise takes around 60-70 hours to reach Port Blair, the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, from Chennai. During this journey, you'll be surrounded by water , waves and clouds and the vast expanse of the Bay of Bengal, and you can enjoy the mesmerizing views of the sea.

2. Cruise from Kolkata to Andaman and Nicobar:

Sailing from Kolkata to Andaman by ship is a unique adventure in itself as it allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with serenity and nature. As you depart from Haldia Port near Kolkata, you'll gradually leave behind the urban landscape and enter the vast expanse of the Bay of Bengal. This journey itself becomes an integral part of your Andaman experience.

If you're closer to Kolkata or plan to visit the city, you can also opt for a cruise to Andaman from there. The journey of a cruise from Kolkata to Andaman is a bit longer compared to the Chennai route but offers a unique experience in itself . The cruise ships typically depart from Haldia Port, which is around 120 kilometers from Kolkata, and sails towards Port Blair.

The cruise journey from Kolkata to Andaman can take approximately 4-5 days, and the route will take you through the Bay of Bengal. The experience of spending days at sea and witnessing the ever-changing shades of the sky and the ocean is a memory that’ll be cherish for a lifetime. Different Cruise Ships provide different amenities like personal comfortable cabins, various dining options, and a list of activities to keep passengers entertained for the duration of the journey.

3. Cruise from Vizag to Andaman:

Vizag, also known as Visakhapatnam, is another city that serves as a departure point for those seeking a sea adventure to Andaman. While there are limited options for cruises from Vizag to Andaman, it's worth considering if you're in a nearby area.

The journey from Vizag to Andaman can take around 56-60 hours, and it provides yet another unique perspective of the Bay of Bengal. Though the journey may be longer, it offers an unparalleled opportunity to relax and unwind as you pass through the marine life and clear waters and get to disconnect from the digital world, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the open sea. The ships are equipped with comfortable cabins, dining facilities, and entertainment options to make the voyage enjoyable.

Cruising to the Andaman Islands from Chennai, Kolkata, or Vizag offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Whether you choose to embark on a Chennai to Andaman cruise, explore the Kolkata to Andaman cruise option, or set sail from Vizag, each route promises stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and a chance to create lifelong memories.

These sea journeys are not just a means of transportation; they are an integral part of your Andaman adventure.

cruise chennai to andaman

Which Cruise To Select In Andaman Islands?

ITT Majestic Ferry

Cruises for Andaman at the very outset can be categorized into two types. One cruise would be to travel to Andaman from various ports of the mainland. There are actually three major ports from which ships travel to Andaman: Kolkata, Chennai and Vishakhapatnam. There would be the other type of cruise where you will need to travel between the various islands once you reach Port Blair. Port Blair is the capital of Andaman and there are beautiful and major islands that are scattered all around without visiting which your trip would be absolutely incomplete. Each of these islands carry their own distinctive identity and presents a gorgeous and unique face of nature and inhabitants, culture and beauty that is mesmerizing and unforgettable.

Local cruises are quite important for the locals as well as the tourists for inter-island transfers. Since each piece of land is surrounded by ocean, these local ferries comprise the only mode of transport to reach the different islands of Andamans. You can find both private and government-run cruises or ferries for the transfer of people and even goods. These ferries mainly connect the three major islands of the Andaman archipelago: Port Blair , Havelock Island and Neil Island .

Cruises in Andamans

Nautika & Nautika Lite Ferry in andaman

Here goes the names of the major cruise companies in Andamans that sail across the oceans connecting one island to another: Makruzz, Green Ocean, ITT Majestic , Sea Link, and Government Ferries.

These private cruises have various degrees of luxury or comfort or budget seating that can be usually categorized Economy, Premium, Deluxe and Royal or Luxury. Along with the experience of travelling in that cruise in each category, the prices also differ. The economy and premium categories are usually pocket-friendly and the seating will be at the lower deck of the cruise from a position which might not offer the best of views. The Deluxe category will be comparatively expensive but gives an vast expansive view of the sea and the comfort of ride and the seating arrangement is little better than Economy and Premium categories.

  • The Luxury or Royal class provides a very comfortable seating arrangement but is definitely more expensive than the other previously mentioned categories. It has better facilities, good comfortable seats, but is limited in capacity with a few number of seats.
  • Makruzz is very well known among passengers for its high-speed. It is the most popular Catamaran Passenger Ferry and successfully runs a prominent ferry service in the Andaman Islands to the satisfaction of hundreds of passengers commuting regularly everyday among the main islands of the archipelago. Among the four odd cruise services that operate in the area, Makruzz is the largest brand in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands . It operates under the names: Makruzz, Makruzz Gold, Pearl, and Makruzz Coastal Cruise. These cruises are fully air-conditioned and are thus quite comfortable for national and international passengers. The seating and the facilities depend on the category or class chosen or the money spent on ticket fare, that is.
  • The Deluxe category is slightly expensive but has a better seating capacity and gives the passenger an elevated and better view of the sea. Deluxe in Makruzz has two decks- Base Deck and Upper Deck. One drawback of choosing Makruzz cruises is that you will not be able to choose your seats. It follows the first-come-first-serve basis and the seating will be allotted this way only.
  • Green Ocean 1 & 2 are the two cruises that have an open area for the passengers to move about and offer an attractive view of the open seas everywhere. This might lure many travellers who are keen on enjoying nature as no other cruise has this facility. Green Ocean 1 might be identified as the slowest cruise with an open area but it is also the cheapest cruise operating in these parts. This cruise has a dance floor and music wherein you can dance and have fun during your journey. The exterior and interior of the Green Ocean 1 varies from Green Ocean 2 in terms of comfort, arrangement of seats and services offered. Green Ocean 2 has an upper deck and a lower deck and the seating capacity is limited. It has a higher speed vessel and modern design and aesthetics for higher speed. Whether you can enjoy the view of the sea will depend upon the seats chosen while booking your tickets.
  • ITT Majestic is similarly a high-speed catamaran that has an attractive appearance and structure which somewhat resembles Makruzz cruises. ITT Majestic and Makruzz Pearl are among the fastest cruises in terms of cruising between the Andaman Islands. The ITT Majestic gives you the opportunity to choose your seats while booking your tickets. The seating is limited and the usual categories are present in terms of facility and ticket price.
  • Sea Link operates some high-speed cruise ferries that are imported from Singapore. It has considerable seating capacity and passengers can get seated on the Upper or the Lower Deck. This brand runs just one cruise that operates between the islands. You can choose your seats while booking your tickets. Sea Link is equally fast as the Green Ocean 2 but this Sea Link does not have an open deck to enjoy the sea breeze and the magical sunrays. Sea Link has also introduced Nautika from 2022. Nautika can be identified as the fastest ferry that sails from Havelock to Port Blair.
  • Government Ferries are somewhat underrated and the credibility that they can also provide state-of-the-art services along with foolproof safety and security is little recognised. But in the long run government ferries are extremely reliable between the islands. These ferries have a sturdy built and take care of the locals and tourists alike. During rough weather, government ferries can be trusted. These ferries transfer people steadily and regularly from one island to another and prevents or avoids travellers getting stranded in any island. But there is a limitation that you would be able to manually book your tickets at the STARS counter at Port Blair. The Government ferries do not provide the provision of advanced booking of tickets or online booking of tickets. It is a real-time affair and availability of tickets at the counter can be checked only when you go to buy tickets and thus you run the risk of the tickets getting sold out. You then are at the risk of losing out on your journey and get contained in a particular island and miss your hotel booking and your itinerary goes haywire which would not have happened had you pre-booked in the other commercial liners. These are some of the tips you need to plan out carefully beforehand while at the planning stage. Pre-checks and pre-booking is essential for a hassle-free stay and travel in and around Andamans. Choose a complete package and avail an end-to-end package solution to be able to enjoy your Andaman trip and save time and effort while at your vacation.

Factors that affect or influence passenger choice while selecting a Cruise

Exploration Time in andaman

  • Travelers should choose their cruise based on their requirement for different island transfers. It can be a mix of cruises. The choice is usually based on the spaciousness, views from the deck, cleanliness and maintenance, services offered, the look and feel and built of the vessel, including the decoration and arrangement of the seating and facilities in the ferries.
  • The cruises do have a pantry provided with bakery items and hot/cold beverages. They also often have fully air-conditioned decks and good hospitality.
  • The cruise boats are generally fully closed for the safety of the passengers and they are provided with large glass windows for a good view of the open wide seas all around.
  • Makruzz Pearl and ITT Majestic are among the fastest cruises in terms of speed which might vary a bit based on other factors. Makruzz or Green Ocean cruises will cost you the same while you are cruising between Port Blair and Havelock or between Havelock and Neil and vice-versa.
  • You can choose any cruise that you prefer based on the category that you want to take. If the requirement has a budget constraint then the Economy or Premium category should be chosen. If you are willing to spend more, you can go for Deluxe and if you do not have any budget issues then you can choose the Royal or Luxury category. Seat options can be chosen while booking.
  • At Experience Andamans, we do the best for the travellers who come to us for planning their trips to the islands. Our island experts will look into each part of your package carefully and suggest the best of everything to you as per you per your requirements. Our ground staff will always be there to assist you and you can easily spot them in an “Orange T-shirt”.

Identify the type of cruise you would want to enjoy

Makruzz Ferry in Andaman

Choose a cruise while traversing through the Andaman Islands on the basis of what you want to experience. Some cruises are mere journeys to the other attractive islands.

So in order to get transferred from Port Blair to Havelock or Neil you need to choose a cruise. Sometimes, these cruises are purely for enjoying the magic of the unique islands. You might also go for a cruise to watch dolphin in the middle of the ocean or book a ride to watch the fascinating Parrot Island if you visit

Here you can explore the beauty of the famous and pristine Radhanagar Beach, the coral reefs and water sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving of Elephant Beach for, the dazzling sands and pretty resorts.
  • Neil Island Cruise: This cruise to Neil Island or Shahid Dweep will expose you to the raw serene charm of the beaches like Laxmanpur, Bharatpur and Sitapur. The cruise to Neil Island will give you ample opportunity to enjoy the peace and beauty of glorious sunrises and sunsets on the seafront.
  • Ross and Smith Island Cruise: This trip will lead you to the unique Ross and Smith Islands. These islands are majorly known for their naturally connecting beaches that are separated by a sandbar and which can be accessed only in low tide. It’s a great spot for relaxation and enjoying the serenity prevailing all around.
  • Baratang Island Cruise: This cruise will take you to visit the enthralling limestone caves and the fascinating mud volcanoes of Baratang Island. The approach through the shadowy mangrove creek is absolutely adventure-filled and thrilling.
