Travel by Ship to Andaman and Nicobar

Table of content, travel to andaman and nicobar by ship.

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.

Why Choose Us?

Local expertise, the choicest experiences, tailor-make your own holiday.

The kayaking experience was super fun and knowledgeable. Mr.Ali was very friendly and ensured we had a clam and a relaxing paddling experience and enriched us with facts about mangrove trees, it’s ecosystem and Abadman islands and clicked some cool pics 🙂

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)

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.

We’re a small crew of locals and Andaman-lovers helping you make the most of your trip to the Andamans.

You can build your holiday from the ground-up, exactly how you like. We’ve personally verified each experience, so you know that they’re tried, tested and true!

Planning a trip to the Andaman Islands by cruise can be an exciting and memorable experience. Here are the steps to help you plan your Andaman trip by cruise:

Choose your travel dates: Decide when you want to go on your Andaman cruise trip. Consider factors such as weather, your availability, and any special events or festivals you may want to experience.

Research cruise options: Look for cruise operators that offer trips to the Andaman Islands. Consider factors such as the duration of the cruise, the itinerary, the facilities on board, and the reputation of the cruise company. Read reviews and compare prices to make an informed decision.

Select the cruise package: Once you’ve chosen a cruise operator, select the package that suits your preferences. Some cruises may have different itineraries or activities, so choose the one that aligns with your interests. Check what is included in the package, such as accommodation, meals, and activities.

Book your cruise: Contact the cruise operator directly or use their website to make a booking. Provide the necessary information, such as the number of passengers and any specific requirements you may have. Pay the required deposit or full payment to secure your booking.

Plan your travel to the departure point: Find out the departure point for the cruise and make arrangements to reach there. If the departure point is in a different city or country, consider booking flights or other transportation accordingly. Allow ample time to reach the departure point before the cruise departure time.

Pack wisely: Make a checklist of essential items to pack for your cruise trip. Consider the weather, activities, and any dress codes for certain areas of the cruise ship. Don’t forget to pack necessary travel documents, medications, and any specific items you may need during the journey.

Pre-cruise preparations: Familiarize yourself with the cruise ship’s policies, rules, and regulations. Check if you need to complete any pre-cruise documentation, such as health declarations or visa requirements. Ensure that you have all necessary travel insurance in place.

Explore Andaman Islands’ attractions: Research the attractions and activities available in the Andaman Islands. Make a list of the places you want to visit and the experiences you want to have. Some popular attractions include Havelock Island, Radhanagar Beach, Neil Island, Cellular Jail, and Ross Island.

On-board activities: While on the cruise, take advantage of the various activities and amenities provided by the cruise ship. These may include entertainment shows, swimming pools, spa facilities, and onboard restaurants. Enjoy the journey and make the most of the onboard experiences.

Shore excursions: Most cruises offer shore excursions at different ports of call. These excursions allow you to explore the Andaman Islands’ attractions and participate in various activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, or sightseeing tours. Research and book these excursions in advance or through the cruise operator.

Follow the cruise schedule: Pay attention to the cruise itinerary and schedule. Be mindful of the embarkation and disembarkation times at different ports. Arrive on time for any planned activities or excursions.

Enjoy your Andaman cruise: Once on board, relax, unwind, and enjoy the cruise experience. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Andaman Islands, engage in onboard activities, and create lasting memories.

Remember to check the latest travel advisories, entry requirements, and COVID-19 guidelines for the Andaman Islands before your trip. It’s always a good idea to stay informed and be prepared for any updates or changes.

HOW TO REACH ANDAMAN BY SHIP

To reach the Andaman Islands by ship, you can follow these steps:

• Check available ships: The Indian government operates ships that connect the mainland with the Andaman Islands. Check the official website of the Directorate of Shipping Services or the Andaman and Nicobar Tourism website for information on available ships, schedules, and fares.
• Choose a ship and route: Select a ship and route that suits your travel plans. Ships generally depart from Kolkata (West Bengal), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), and Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) to Port Blair, the capital city of the Andaman Islands.
• Book ship tickets: Ship tickets for the Andaman Islands can be booked through the official website of the Directorate of Shipping Services or by visiting their ticket booking counters. You can also approach authorized travel agents who handle ship ticket bookings. Keep in mind that ship tickets are subject to availability and should be booked well in advance.
• Provide necessary details: While booking ship tickets, you will need to provide details such as your name, contact information, date of travel, and preferred cabin category (if applicable).
• Pay the ticket fare: The ticket fare for ships to the Andaman Islands varies depending on the ship category and cabin type chosen. The fares are subject to change, so it is advisable to check the official website or contact the Directorate of Shipping Services for the current ticket prices.

HOW MANY SHIPS OPERATES FOR PORT BLAIR ANDAMAN

The number of ships operating for the Andaman Islands may vary over time due to factors such as maintenance, demand, and operational considerations. However, the Indian government typically operates multiple ships to connect the mainland with the Andaman Islands.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the following ships were operational for the Andaman Islands:

• MV Swaraj Dweep
• MV Campbell Bay

HOW TO SULLECT SHIP FOR ANDAMAN TRIP

If you’re seeking a unique and adventurous way to reach the Andaman Islands, consider traveling by ship. The Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS) operates ships that connect the mainland with this breathtaking archipelago. While the availability of ships for passenger travel may be limited, with operations typically occurring once or twice a month, it’s still possible to experience the wonders of the Andaman Islands through careful planning.

HOW TO BOOK SHIP TICKET FOR ANDAMAN TRIP

Planning Your Trip:

Check the DSS Schedule: Visit the official website of the Directorate of Shipping Services or contact their office directly to obtain the schedule of ships operating to the Andaman Islands. Pay close attention to the available dates and departure ports.

Plan Ahead: Due to the limited schedule, it is essential to plan your trip well in advance. Consider your preferred travel dates and align them with the available ship schedule. Flexibility in your itinerary can be beneficial. Booking Process:

Contact the DSS Office: Reach out to the DSS office to inquire about ship options, routes, and any additional information you may need. They will provide you with specific details regarding available ships for passenger travel.

Obtain Accurate Information: Stay updated with the latest information from the DSS regarding ship availability, schedules, and booking procedures. They can guide you through the process and address any queries you may have.

Early Ticket Booking: Given the limited availability, it is advisable to book your ship tickets well in advance. By securing your spot early, you can ensure a smoother journey to the Andaman Islands.

It is important to note that travel times are subject to change and it is advisable to check with the ship operator or official sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

IS IT ADVISABLE TO TRAVEL ON A SHIP TO ANDAMAN?

Traveling on a ship to the Andaman Islands can be an adventurous and unique experience for those who enjoy sea voyages. However, whether it is advisable or not depends on several factors. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed decision:

• Time and Convenience: Traveling by ship to the Andaman Islands takes significantly longer compared to air travel. Ships can take around 3 to 4 days to reach the islands, while flights take only a few hours. If you have limited time or prefer a quicker journey, traveling by air is a more convenient option.
• Adventure and Experience: If you enjoy the experience of being on the open sea, watching the waves, and embracing the slower pace of travel, a ship journey can provide a sense of adventure. It allows you to savor the journey itself rather than focusing solely on the destination.
• Comfort and Facilities: Ships offering passenger accommodations usually have different classes, ranging from deluxe cabins to bunk beds. However, it’s important to note that ship accommodations may not provide the same level of comfort and amenities as hotels or resorts. If you prioritize luxury and comfort, traveling by ship may not be the ideal choice.
• Seasickness: Sea voyages can be challenging for individuals who are prone to motion sickness. If you experience severe motion sickness or discomfort on boats, traveling by ship may not be advisable, as the journey can be rough, especially during bad weather.
• Budget: Ship fares vary depending on the class of accommodation chosen. While ship travel can be more affordable than air travel in some cases, it’s essential to consider the overall cost, including additional expenses such as meals and activities during the voyage.
• Weather and Seasonal Considerations: Weather conditions, including monsoons and rough seas, can affect the schedule and availability of cruises to the Andaman Islands. It’s important to consider the best time to visit and check for any potential disruptions.

Ultimately, the decision to travel on a cruise to the Andaman Islands depends on your preferences, budget, and time constraints. It’s recommended to weigh the pros and cons, research different cruise options, and consider your personal travel preferences before making a decision.

CONCLUSION: FLIGHT VS SHIP JOURNEY TO ANDAMAN.

Conclusion: When comparing the options of ship and flight journeys to the Andaman Islands, it becomes evident that flights offer several advantages. Ships provide a unique experience, diverse cabin options, and lower pricing, particularly for longer vacations or those seeking a different mode of transportation. However, considering factors such as pricing, comfort, hygiene, sea-sickness, and time efficiency, flights emerge as the preferred choice for most travelers. Flights are faster, safer, and allow for more time to explore the islands. Booking flights in advance and opting for round-trip tickets can also lead to significant cost savings. Ultimately, for a comfortable and efficient travel experience, taking a flight to reach the Andaman Islands is recommended.

Duration: 4N/5D

Accommodation: Comfortable

Experiences Cherished: Scuba diving and sea walking

Come back for: Neil Island

Being frequent wanderers, my friends and I planned to go for a venturesome vacation, away from the demanding city life. After checking out our dream destination list, we ended up searching Andaman tour packages on the internet. I had been following TravelTriangle facebook page and used to check numerous lucrative packages. We visited their website where we could customize our Andaman packages. We wanted our experience to be more adventurous than luxurious, we mentioned our requirements at TravelTriangle website and soon our Travel expert shared an itinerary with us, planned according to our requirements. We booked our Andaman travel packages via TravelTriangle which included airfares, transfers, cabs, stay, snorkeling, guide fee and entry tickets to monuments and museums.

We arrived at Port Blair airport from where we were escorted to our hotel by the travel representative. We visited Cellular Jail and Corbyn Cove Beach on our first day of Andaman tour . The light and sound show at Cellular jail induced a surge of patriotism amongst us. We experienced a mild rain shower at Corbyn Cove Beach but it didn't impact our excitement rather gave us a few unexpected cherishing moments.

On the second day, we planned for Scuba diving for which we travelled to Havelock via ferry. Here we ventured into the deep water for about 30 minutes organized by the diving centre near our resort. It was an invigorating experience which was followed by the breathtaking views of RadhaNagar Beach. We could feel the fresh sea breeze and spent some lazy time, relaxing at the beach.

Next day, we went to the Elephant Beach, a popular destination for water sports. We started our day with sea walking and snorkeling which made us admire the corals, marine plants and starfishes, followed by jet skiing amidst the turquoise-blue water of sea. Later, we went for a balloon ride that offers bird’s eye view of this immaculate place. Our next destination was Neil Island where we headed to Bharatpur Beach and took a glass-bottom boat ride. We enjoyed the vibrant corals and fishes through the bottom of our boat. Later we went to Laxmanpur beach clad in white shell sand and Howrah bridge which is a bridge-like rock with two living natural corals. The same day we came back to Port Blair. Our stress buster expedition reached its end and we enjoyed every minute spent at this beautiful yet adventurous place.

After reaching Baratang Island, we took a boat ride which lead us to the Limestone Caves.

On the third day, we took a ferry to Havelock Island which was a mesmerizing experience.We had a candlelight dinner at the resort and admired the impeccable beauty of this place. Next day, we went to Neil Island and explored its many gems. One of the most beautiful experiences of our Andaman tour was visiting the Chidiyatapu Sunset point.

Important Considerations for Traveling to the Andaman Islands

Entry Permits:

When planning a trip to the Andaman Islands , it is important to note that obtaining an entry permit is necessary for visiting the islands. This permit is issued by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration and serves as permission to enter and stay in the islands.

To obtain the entry permit, the process is relatively straightforward. Travelers can apply for the permit online through the official website of the Andaman and Nicobar Administration or through registered travel agents. The required documents typically include a copy of a valid ID proof, passport-size photographs, and a filled-out application form. It is important to check the official website or consult with us for the most up-to-date information regarding the application process and required documents.

The validity period of the entry permit varies depending on the type of permit obtained. Generally, the permits are issued for a duration of 30 days, but there are options for longer stays as well. It is advisable to plan your itinerary accordingly, keeping in mind the duration of your permit. Additionally, there may be a nominal fee associated with obtaining the entry permit, which is subject to change. It is recommended to check the official website for the current fee structure.

Weather Conditions:

When considering the ideal time to visit the Andaman Islands, it is crucial to take into account the weather conditions. The islands have a tropical climate characterized by two major seasons: the wet monsoon season and the dry season.

The ideal time to visit the Andaman Islands is during the dry season, which typically lasts from November to May. During this period, the weather remains pleasant with clear skies and calm seas, making it perfect for various activities such as snorkeling , scuba diving, and exploring the beautiful beaches.

The monsoon season, which usually occurs from June to September, brings heavy rainfall and strong winds to the islands. Many water activities and beach visits are restricted during this time due to safety concerns. However, if you are interested in experiencing the lush greenery and enjoying a quieter atmosphere, visiting during the monsoon season can still be an option.

Additional Travel Tips:

• Packing Essentials: When packing for a trip to the Andaman Islands, it is advisable to include lightweight and breathable clothing suitable for the tropical climate. Don't forget essentials like swimwear, sunglasses, a hat, and comfortable footwear for beach activities and exploring. Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle are also essential items to protect yourself from the sun, insects, and to stay hydrated.
• Local Transportation: Within the Andaman Islands, transportation options include taxis, auto-rickshaws, and rented bikes. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are readily available in major towns like Port Blair, offering convenient options for short-distance travel. Renting a bike can be a great way to explore the islands independently and at your own pace. However, it is important to have a valid driving license and follow local traffic rules.
• Accommodation: Popular areas to stay in the Andaman Islands include Port Blair, Havelock Island, and Neil Island. Port Blair, the capital, offers a range of accommodations to suit different budgets and preferences. Havelock Island is known for its stunning beaches and luxury resorts, while Neil Island offers a more laid-back and rustic experience. Accommodation options range from hotels and resorts to guesthouses and eco-lodges, providing choices for every type of traveler.

FAQ about Andaman Cruise Trip

1. Can you elaborate on sea sickness affecting the passengers during the journey?

Usually self-diagnosable, seasickness is associated with fatigue, diseases and vomiting, when the ship is on turbulent water.

The intensity of seasickness varies according to the months in which you are travelling. January, February, March, April and November are months with very little seasickness and hence the best time to

plan a cruise trip. The months with high chances of causing seasickness August and September, and hence you are requested to take necessary precautions for travelling during that time.

2. Are there ATMs in Port Blair and Havelock?

Yes, Port Blair has quite a few ATMs, while Havelock has 2. But since Havelock doesn’t have any banks, you might find cash depletion in the ATMs. You should carry sufficient cash with you for paying the bills during your journey. Credit cards and MasterCards are not accepted widely throughout Andamans, except in large hotels.

3. What do I need to do in case of a medical emergency?

Most Islands do have a primary health centre. The immediate assistance comes from the primary health centre and in case better treatment is needed, there is GB Pant Hospital in Port Blair.

4. Do I need permits for going to the neighbouring island?

You need to get access from the office of the deputy commissioner of Andamans for travelling to the neighbouring islands occupied by the indigenous tribes.

Best destinations to add to your package:

There are a lot of destinations in Andaman in different islands, and categorizing them based on Islands is easy because every islands takes one whole day to cover. Except for North Bay, Ross Island and Jolly Buoy, because you can cover any two of them in a single day as the island is the attraction itself and there are no specific tourist places here.

Coming to the question, add the following destinations, to make your tour perfect:

Port Blair:

This is the capital city of Andaman, housing the only commercial airport and is one of the first destinations you will visit while traveling in the islands. Port Blair is what you will call a developed city compared to the other islands, and traveling here is easier. The place has the most amount of tourist attractions, and you will stay here for atleast 2 days to cover everything.

Top Attractions:

• Carbyn's Cove Beach- Famous for the vast shoreline, and also has Jet Skiing and Speed Boat rides.
• Cellular Jail- You can explore the history here and attend the light and sound show that shows everything about the jail.
• Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex- This place offers a great view of the open sea and has water sports like Jet Skiing.
• Wandoor Beach- This is an offbeat destination that is far from the city and has a great shoreline.
• Chidiyatapu- This is also an offbeat attraction, famous for the Mundapahar Beach and amazing view of the sunset.

Havelock Island:

Havelock Island is the most famous destination you can visit from Kolkata, and is famous for its tropical and natural beauty. The island has to be reached by a ferry or cruise and has some of the best beach-side resorts in Andaman. The island offers a combined mixture of casual sightseeing and water activities which is perfect for a wholesome vacation.

• Radhanagar Beach- One of the most famous beach in asia, with crystal clear blue waters surrounded by tall tropical trees, and is a must visit destination during your travel.
• Elephant Beach- This beach is the best place for water sports in Andaman for its coral diversity and clear water. It has to be reached via a boat, and the tour will take the whole day, so only add it to your package if you plan to stay for 2 days in Havelock.
• Kalapathar Beach- Located on the other side of the island, this beach is great to visit after sundown. You can't swim here, but the wide view of the ocean is great.

Neil Island:

Neil is what you call a heaven for quietness. The island is as raw as it gets and is surrounded by tall tropical tress and some of the most clean and untouched beaches in Andaman. The best part is that this destination houses some of the best resorts in the isles. The island has to be reached by a ferry or cruise and we recommend staying here for atleast one day.

• Bharatpur Beach- This beach is great and should be visited for simple sightseeing and some water sports.
• Laxmanpur Beach- This is the best beach in this place, filled with deep sands and has a triangular shape with furious waters, perfect for sightseeing and relaxation.
• Sitapur Beach- This is located on the other side of the island, and is a good place to be after you have explored the rest.

North Bay has the most number of water sports in a single place, and is a great place to be if you're planning for water sports in the isles. Although there are no specific attraction here for exploration, the place can be added to your tour, if you are not visiting Elephant Beach in Havelock. This place can be reached via a boat and usually a trip to Ross Island is also included, as half a day is enough to cover this island.

Ross Island:

This island is great for exploration, and has a wide variety of ruins surrounded by forest canopies, perfect for a history trip. The island has a lot to offer in terms of variety and you can explore the old British ruins, visit the deer sanctuary, and attend the light and sound show which demonstrates why Ross was chosen as the administrative area for British rule in Andaman.

Selecting the number of days for your tour:

Since every island here takes the whole day to explore, we recommend planning for at least 3 Nights in Andaman, so you can atleast visit the three best islands.

Most people visiting here from Kolkata stay for around 4 Nights, which lets them explore all of the best destinations and enjoy a bit of tour in the city, without feeling rushed.

We recommend planning for at-least 5 Nights so you can explore everything in isles and feel the wholesomeness of Andaman at its purest.
