Common questions about Pelni

What does Pelni run?

Pelni runs 184 of the Ferries routes we sell, calling at 41 places across 2 countries. Those routes come from the published operator catalog rather than from a list we wrote, so a route only appears here if the carrier actually serves it.

How much do Pelni tickets cost?

The cheapest Pelni fare we sell is €48.74 for one passenger, across 184 routes. The median route runs 842 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are Pelni tickets refundable?

Pelni fares can be changed for €5.00 and cannot be refunded, across all 184 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travelers most often get wrong.

What is on board an Pelni service?

Pelni publishes Bar, , Cabins, Cafe, Restaurant, Restrooms across its fleet, on the 184 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 25h 31m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power outlets and one without to matter.

What is the longest route Pelni runs?

The longest Pelni route we sell runs from Labuan Bajo to Luwuk, 898 km in a straight line. A median journey with this carrier takes about 25h 31m at their typical cruising speed, so the long routes are considerably more than that.

Where does Pelni operate?

Pelni is based in Indonesia and runs routes we sell in 2 countries. The places it calls at most often are Pontianak, Cilegon, Balikpapan. Those are computed from the routes in the catalog rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.

Other Ferries operators

We cannot promise Terminal Batulayang still has a baggage check, because plenty of stations closed theirs.

Left luggage lockers

Somewhere to drop the bags in Pontianak?

Most of the points near Terminal Batulayang open before the first train and close after the last one.
