Queue for the ferry boarding

You should know that only the driver stays in the car, the other passengers board from the doors reserved for pedestrians.

Company agents will explain everything to you. Once on board, we discover the huge ferry with its facilities (Restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, terrace, etc.)

To have a little sleep and rest, you can opt for a cabin, but the business sofa are fine. It’s quite comfortable:
