How much does the ferry from Marseille to Algiers cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Marseille to Algiers?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for the date you travel and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - quickly of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
