The above schedule is a tentative schedule for sailing of the ships from Port Blair to Kolkata, Chennai and Vizag and vice versa. We do not bear any responsibility for the change in timing or the prices . Ship tickets can be purchased at STAR Ticket counters or the CSC Centres in Port Blair.
Ticket Counter
Chennai Counter Address :

Chennai Port, Opposite Customs Office, Rajaji Salai, Chennai-1
Kolkatta Counter Address : Shipping Corporation of India,
Shipping House no. 13, Strand Road, Kolkata-17.
For Vishakapatnam (Vizag-Port Blair) There are no counters so you need to contact local Port from where the ship departs to Port Blair.
Ship Ticket Cost
The ship ticket cost varies from 2500 for Bunk class to 10500 for Cabins. However, this price is subject to change.
Currently, there are no online facilities to book a ship to Andaman islands and for that reason there is not much clarity over the web. However, I will recommend to you get in touch with local port management at Chennai/Kolkata to get your tickets booked through counters. Make sure you are carrying a valid photo id proof while going to book a ticket for a ship to the Andaman Islands.
Now many are inclined towards a cruise to Andaman islands and for that I have written an article which will be helpful for you to decide whether or not you need to take a ship to the Andaman Islands.
