Technical characteristics of the Kaunas ferry

High seaworthiness of the vessel and its impressive size (length - more than 190 meters, width - 28 meters) allow minimizing pitching even in stormy conditions. The two cargo decks can simultaneously accommodate 49 universal railroad cars and 50 TIR heavy trucks. This makes the Kaunas ferry not only convenient for passengers, but also an important vehicle for cargo transportation.

Remember that reliable health insurance is the key to a tourist's confidence and safety while traveling. After all, an insurance policy will not only help you get high-quality medical care, but also save your own money in an unforeseen situation, for example, in case of a flight delay or loss of luggage at the airport.

You can buy travel insurance on the Visit Ukraine website. We offer health insurance policies for Ukrainians planning a trip abroad and military risk insurance for foreigners traveling to Ukraine.

We remind you! Today, the Orlivka - Isakcha ferry crossing is the shortest route from Ukraine to Southern Europe and Turkey. Read more about the ferry schedule, border crossing rules, and the time required to cross the border in our previous article.
