I'm arriving at the Salipazari Port on the Sun Princess cruise ship on September 11, 2025 and will be in port from 730A-500P. My husband and I are interested in taking a morning ferry after 8A from Kabatas and returning in the afternoon to get back on the ship by 4p. Don't really need a tour, just need transport. Could you please advise schedules, and how to purchase tickets in advance to make sure we get on with little flexibility in the morning, since I'm thinking of the 810A fast ferry and the Slow afternoon ferry at 2p. Does that seem like my best option? Can you please provide a link to purchase tkts?

Answer

Hello, You don't need to worry about purchasing your ticket. You can buy it at the pier at the time of your boat departure. The same goes for the return ferry. By the way, your planning is excellent. This way, you can have a wonderful day. Best regards.
