Iran Ferry
Ships commuting between Iran major ports and other Persian Gulf countries are another cheap but efficient way for traveling. If you are residing in one of these countries or if visiting them and intend to travel to Iran, don’t miss the voyage through Persian Gulf. Although it may take longer, we recommend traveling by ship or ferry to those interested.
It usually takes about 5 hours on the sea and you spend just half the price of a plane ticket.
For those interested in traveling on a cruise ship in the Persian Gulf, ITS ship and ferry service is the best option.
