Things are accelerating for Nouris Elbahr Ferries, the new Algerian private shipping company. Algérie Ferries’ competitor took an important step this Thursday, October 24, by opening online reservations.
Nouris Elbahr Ferries will begin its crossings from next November. Initially, two destinations will be served in Europe: Marseille, France, and Alicante, Spain. They will be served from the ports of Algiers and Oran.
For its crossings, the new shipping company chartered a ship, the Cracovia, which docked at the port of Algiers at the beginning of October. All stops will be made on board this ship. The program was adapted for the occasion, with an average of one crossing per line.
Nouris Elbahr has published a program which runs until next May. Depending on the success of its operations, it will decide whether or not to increase the rate for the 2025 summer season. If it decides to increase frequencies, a second, or even a third ship, will be necessary to meet demand and manage rotations well to avoid delays and cancellations.
Online reservations: the Nouris El Bahr site is finally operational
For reservations, Nouris El Bahr announced the establishment of partnerships with several agencies travel in Algeria. On social networks, Internet users are demanding the possibility of booking online. It is in fact faster and more practical, especially for Algerians in France and Spain, two countries where the company does not have partner agencies.
It is now done. Since this Thursday evening, the reservations section of the Nouris Elbahr website is open to the public.
“Dear travelers, it’s finally the moment you’ve been waiting for! We are pleased to announce that online ticket reservations are now open. Book your crossings directly from our website in just a few clicks, and board the Cracovia for comfortable and secure journeys! », announced the shipping company in a press release.
Currently, the reservations section is only displayed in English. The interface is very easy to use. We were able to book in a few clicks: a one-way ticket from Algiers to Marseille on October 31. Price displayed: €94. The armchair option costs €10 and the individual cabin costs €200.
