Green Ocean 1 and 2: choose your island crossing
Green Ocean ferry booking begins with the vessel as well as the route. Both names belong to Green Ocean Seaways, but their onboard experience differs. This guide helps you compare the two before checking the sailings available for your date.
Prepared by the AWT content team.
Green Ocean ferry services in Andaman
Green Ocean Seaways is a private ferry operator connecting the Andaman island circuit around Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram), Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). Travellers also search for the service as Green Ocean cruise. These are island transfers with a booked destination and departure, so plan your hotel stays around the sectors you choose.
The search above compares available ferries across operators. For a Green Ocean ferry booking, look for Green Ocean 1 or Green Ocean 2 in the results and check the vessel name before selecting a class. Availability for one vessel does not mean the other operates the same route at the same time.
Green Ocean 1 vs Green Ocean 2
Green Ocean 1: open deck
The choice to consider when outdoor sea views are a priority. It combines indoor seating with an open-deck area; access during the crossing follows crew instructions and operating conditions.
Green Ocean 2: enclosed cabins
An enclosed passenger ferry for travellers planning a seated cabin journey. It does not offer the Green Ocean 1 open-deck experience. Compare its actual departure and arrival against your transfers.
| Your priority | What to check |
|---|---|
| Open-air experience | Choose Green Ocean 1 and confirm permitted deck access. |
| Enclosed travel | Compare Green Ocean 2 cabin availability. |
| Shortest connection | Compare dated departure and arrival times for both vessels. |
| Family seating | Check adjacent available seats in your selected class. |
| Lower total cost | Compare the final fare for all travellers on the same route and date. |
The Green Ocean 1 open-deck experience
The main reason many visitors choose Green Ocean 1 is the opportunity to step outside the cabin and see the islands and coastline from an open area. Open deck describes an outdoor passenger space; it does not mean that your reserved seat is outdoors or that every part of the vessel is accessible.
Keep your ticketed seat as your base during the journey. Ask the crew when the deck is open and which areas your class can use. Access can be restricted during boarding, manoeuvring or unsuitable conditions, so photographs of passengers outside should not be read as a promise of continuous access.
For a family, agree where to meet before anyone leaves the cabin. Keep children accompanied and secure phones, hats and loose belongings. If deck access is essential to your plans, confirm the assigned vessel again when you receive the ticket.
Green Ocean seating classes: compare the actual sailing
AWT’s class guide identifies Economy, Premium and Royal for Green Ocean 1, and Premium and Royal for Green Ocean 2. The classes returned for your date are the choices you can book. Older articles may use Deluxe or Luxury labels, so compare the exact vessel and class in the current result rather than matching a name from another website.
For Green Ocean 1 ferry booking, begin with your budget and seating needs. Economy can suit a straightforward island transfer; compare Premium and Royal against their displayed price and available seats. An upgrade on the same vessel does not change its destination or arrival time.
For Green Ocean 2 ferry booking, focus on the enclosed cabin arrangement and the seats available for your party. Do not assume a class on Green Ocean 2 has the same layout as a similarly named class on Green Ocean 1. Ask AWT before paying if stairs, access or seat location matter to your group.
Green Ocean seat selection and family seating
Review the seat selection offered for the chosen sailing. A cabin photograph helps you understand the general setting, but only the current seat map or operator allocation can establish which seats remain available. Check every traveller’s assignment on the confirmation.
Choose seats together early in the booking process when travelling with children or someone who needs assistance. If adjacent seats are unavailable, compare another class or departure before paying. A Royal ticket does not by itself guarantee a window seat, and the window position does not guarantee an unobstructed view.
Have a preferred seat number from an earlier journey? Confirm that it belongs to the same vessel and class before requesting it. Refits and allocation changes can make an old seating plan unreliable.
Green Ocean ferry from Port Blair to Havelock and Neil
Build your Green Ocean journey around the order of your hotel nights. Port Blair to Havelock, Havelock to Neil and Neil to Port Blair form a practical island circuit to search. Each sector needs its own date and confirmed sailing; do not assume one ticket covers the full circuit.
For Green Ocean Havelock to Port Blair travel, allow time after docking for baggage collection and the onward transfer. If returning from Neil instead, select Neil as the origin. The familiar and official island names refer to the same destinations, so check the route direction carefully.
These are routes to check, not a guarantee of Green Ocean inventory on every date. Use the results to confirm whether a sailing is direct or includes a stop.
| Sector | Planning detail |
|---|---|
| Port Blair → Havelock | Coordinate the jetty transfer with arrival time and your Havelock hotel check-in. |
| Havelock → Neil Island | Leave time to check out, reach the jetty and collect bags at Neil. |
| Neil Island → Port Blair | Allow a buffer before onward mainland travel. |
| Havelock → Port Blair | Check the return date independently of your outward booking. |

Cabins, refreshments and onboard comfort
Green Ocean offers indoor cabin seating for the island crossing. Carry essential personal items in a small bag you can keep with you, and wear a light layer if you prefer one in an air-conditioned cabin. Keep medicines and documents accessible rather than inside checked baggage.
Confirm refreshment availability and any included snacks for your chosen sailing. A cafeteria photograph or a past review does not establish that a meal is part of your fare. Ask in advance about dietary requirements, accessibility needs or assistance with boarding.
Green Ocean cruise reviews sometimes focus on music and activity around the open deck. Treat entertainment as a possible feature of a particular journey, not a guaranteed programme. Choose the vessel for the transfer and cabin experience that suit you.
