The high-speed boat taking passengers from the center of Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao will have the highest ticket price of nearly 1.4 million VND for a VIP bed, the lowest regular ticket is 990 thousand VND.
According to the plan, Thanh Thanh Phat Passenger Transport Company Limited will operate the first Phu Quy Express high-speed train on March 29. The route departs from Saigon Port (District 4, Ho Chi Minh City) to Con Dao Passenger Port (Con Dao District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province).
Total travel time is about 5 hours and 30 minutes and the ship is allowed to pick up and drop off passengers at ports and wharves on the route including: Saigon Port (HCMC); Ben Dam Fishing Port or Con Dao Passenger Port (Con Dao district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau).
The high-speed ferry operating the route is Phu Quy Express with a capacity of 374 passengers; including 272 economy beds, 8 VIP beds, 94 seats and 15 tons of cargo.
Ticket prices are expected to be sold by the company depending on the time and type of seat and bed. From Monday to Thursday, VIP bed tickets cost from 1,250,000 VND, economy bed tickets from 1,150,000 VND and 990,000 VND for seat tickets.
From Friday to Sunday, holidays and Tet, VIP bed tickets will cost 1,370,000 VND, economy bed tickets will cost 1,260,000 VND and 1,090,000 VND/seat.
In May 2024, Phu Quoc Express Joint Stock Company also put into operation the fixed route Ho Chi Minh City - Con Dao with the "Thang Long Super Ship" with a capacity of more than 1,000 passengers; travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao is only about 4 hours.
However, by the end of July 2024, the investor announced a temporary suspension of operations. The company cited many shortcomings in access when the ship departed from Saigon - Hiep Phuoc Port (Nha Be District, Ho Chi Minh City), far from the center of Ho Chi Minh City, passengers had to take a transfer or travel to the port themselves, which took a lot of time, so few passengers chose this option.
From March 28, high-speed boats will pick up passengers from the center of Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao.
