What this tells you

Long-haul crossings reward planning: most run less frequently than short hops, often as overnight sailings with cabins. Always check the timetable and book ahead in peak season.

Methodology

Distances are great-circle (straight-line) estimates computed from each port's coordinates and are indicative rather than exact nautical routing. Ranking covers indexable routes between active ferry ports tracked on Ferry Schedule Hub.
