How much does the ferry from New Orleans to Algiers Point cost?

Ferry prices from New Orleans to Algiers Point move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, 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 frequently the best value for a family.

Every 30 minutes, 6am to midnight - that is how often the ferry from New Orleans to Algiers Point runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 10 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
