For travelers on an LTC (Leave Travel Concession) trip to Andaman or those seeking cost-effective options, government ferries provide an economical choice for transit between Port Blair and Havelock or via Neil Island. One notable advantage of government ferries is the presence of an open deck, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenic views of the beautiful islands, observe marine life, and capture stunning photographs during the journey.
