The Latvian port of Ventspils is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea at the confluence of the Venta River. The city is of great interest to tourists. Firstly, several ancient architectural sights have survived in Ventspils, including the castle of the Livonian Order, and secondly, its beach has been awarded a Blue Flag certificate for its special cleanliness and environmental friendliness. Moving around the Baltic States by car, you can get from Ventspils to Sweden and Germany by ferry.
Travel by sea is increasingly chosen by tourists who value their own comfort and convenience. Ferry crossings have many undeniable advantages:
-
A ferry ride turns into an exciting and enjoyable journey, if you just opt for a comfortable cabin.
- Duty-free shops on board ships allow you to shop at a bargain on international routes with plenty of time to choose and think.
-
Modern ferry boats are built with special facilities for people with disabilities. In addition, pets are allowed on ferries.
- A car crossing with the owner is another plus in favor of the ferry crossing. Once at the destination, the passenger gets behind the wheel and continues the trip in a familiar and comfortable environment.
