FerryGoGo, a ferry route-finding site, has released a study predicting the cost of ferry trips in 2025. The average price for a crossing with two people and a car in high season is estimated to be €1,017, slightly lower than the previous year. However, the value for money is decreasing, with the price per mile increasing due to inflation and the inclusion of shorter, less efficient routes.
The most expensive ferry crossing in Europe for 2025 is from Denmark to Iceland, costing €2,222 for two people, a cabin, and a car on a round-trip itinerary in high season. On the other hand, the best value is found on the 854 km route from Barcelona to Rome, costing €755 return for two and a car, or €0.44 per kilometre.
Some routes have seen significant price changes compared to 2024, with the Harwich to Hoek van Holland ferry experiencing almost a 60% price increase. The Liverpool to Belfast ferry also saw a substantial rise in price. Dynamic pricing is used in the ferry industry, with fares increasing as seats sell out. Booking early, especially before January, can help save money as prices tend to rise as the season approaches.
In conclusion, the study by FerryGoGo provides valuable insights for travelers planning ferry trips in 2025, highlighting the best and worst value crossings, as well as significant price changes across various routes.
