Key Features:
Vessel Overview & Comfort
Built in 2016 by renowned Australian naval architects Incat Crowther, the ITT Majestic is a state-of-the-art 33-meter twin-hull catamaran. Unlike older mono-hull ships that rock side-to-side, this modern design slices through the Bay of Bengal waves, making it incredibly stable—a massive relief for anyone prone to seasickness. Operating at a swift 28 knots, it matches the 90-minute journey time of premium competitors.
Silver Class
Price: ~₹1,564 - ₹1,650
The ultimate value pick. Features highly comfortable dark leatherette seating in a 2-aisle-2 layout. What truly sets this class apart are the floor-to-ceiling clear glass windows (not tinted!), flooding the cabin with natural light and offering unobstructed, stunning views of the Andaman Sea.
Majesty Class
Price: ~₹1,799 - ₹1,850
Located in the front section, this class offers slightly wider seats and extra legroom. The modest upgrade fee (₹150-200) grants you priority boarding and basic complimentary light refreshments (soft drinks and packaged snacks).
How it Compares to Competitors
- Vs. Makruzz: ITT Majestic is significantly cheaper, especially since removing their fuel surcharge. While Makruzz offers more daily departures, ITT provides clearer window views and a quieter, music-free cabin environment.
- Vs. Green Ocean: While slightly more expensive than Green Ocean's economy class, ITT saves you 45 minutes of travel time and provides a fully air-conditioned, calm sanctuary compared to Green Ocean's loud, open-deck party atmosphere.
Insider Booking Tips
- Best Seats: Request starboard (right side) window seats between rows 5-12 for the best views and minimal engine vibration. Avoid the last 3 rows.
- Route Limitation: ITT Majestic operates a circular route and does not offer a direct Port Blair to Neil Island ferry. You must travel via Havelock (2.5 hours total).
- Check-in: Printed hard-copy tickets are strictly required. Arrive 45-60 minutes early as boarding gates close strictly 15 minutes prior to departure.
