Blue Star Ferries Schedules 2026

Blue Star Ferries is one of the main operators on the Greek domestic network, sailing from Piraeus to the Cyclades and the Dodecanese with large car ferries built for year-round island service rather than summer tourism alone.

One account across four companies

Blue Star sits in Attica Group alongside Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines and Superfast Ferries. A single email and password now works across all four sites and the seamore app: your details, your travelling companions, your vehicle and your pet are carried over automatically, and past and upcoming trips sit in one place. If you book Greek ferries more than once a year, this is the practical reason to register.

Seasmiles

The loyalty programme earns redemptions toward free tickets and discounts of up to 30% on ferry tickets — plus up to 35% at more than 350 partners across Greece.

Two rules worth checking before you drive on

Companion animals must be registered as part of the booking rather than declared at the gate. And the company publishes additional measures for carrying alternative-fuel vehicles — electric and hybrid cars face specific requirements on Greek passenger ships, so check them before arriving at the ramp.

On board

Wi-Fi at sea, the @sea infotainment system and the On Blue magazine. Web check-in, a published agent network and a Piraeus port map are all available online.

The same crossing can take twelve hours or twenty-seven

No operator in our data has a wider spread. Rhodes to Piraeus appears at 735, 925, 1110, 1170, 1515 and 1660 minutes across six departures — from twelve hours to nearly twenty-eight. Kos to Rhodes ranges from 160 to 325 minutes across nine.

The reason is calling patterns: a sailing that runs direct and one that works its way through four intermediate islands are recorded as the same route. On this network the route name tells you almost nothing about the journey — only the individual departure does. Treat any single figure quoted for a Blue Star crossing as meaningless without the date attached to it.
