The prices applied by shipping companies are causing more and more reactions, in particular those of Algérie Ferries, often criticized for its high prices. With the arrival of Nouris Elbahr Ferries, a new competitor which promises more accessible offers and improved service, Algerian travelers now have an alternative for their journeys
The sea crossing between France and Algeria remains very popular, even outside the summer season. The Algerian diaspora residing in France continues to favor this means of transport for their travels, whether for vacations, family reunions or other important events. Long dominated by Algérie Ferries, the market for maritime connections between the two countries recently welcomed a new player: Nouris Elbahr Ferries.
Faced with recurring complaints from passengers regarding the service and prices of Algérie Ferries, the arrival of this new company is arousing great interest. Nouris Elbahr Ferries says it is committed to being an attractive alternative, likely to meet the expectations of customers looking for more competitive prices and better services for Algerian travelers from Algeria and elsewhere.

Does Nouris Elbahr Ferries lower booking prices?
Nouris Elbahr Ferries has had a string of good news in recent days. After formalizing its partnership with dozens of travel agencies and opening reservations on October 15, the young private shipping company presented its crossing program on the 20th of the same month. At the same time, it announced the expansion of its agency network in several wilayas, thus offering future customers more points of sale for purchasing their tickets.
Concerning ticket prices, by going to the company's reservation site, we find that the ticket price during the month of December is 485 euros for a one-way ticket for a family of two adults and two children traveling with a vehicle on board. However, the price varies depending on the type of accommodation chosen. Thus, the price of a return ticket between December 6 and 6, 2024, with a 4-seat cabin, is 2,580 euros on the Marseille-Algiers line.
Algeria Ferries displays exorbitant prices?
Recently, Algeria Ferries announced the launch of a new roadmap for the coming seasons, promising significant improvements. The main objective of this initiative is to increase the profitability of the company while improving the quality of its services in order to better meet the expectations of its customers and correct the dysfunctions previously observed.
This approach represents a strong commitment on the part of the Algerian shipping company, which aims to regain the trust of its customers. However, despite these efforts, one aspect remains essential for travelers: ticket prices. By carrying out a reservation simulation on the official website, it appears that Algérie Ferries displays prices significantly higher than those offered by Nouris Elbahr Ferries. This comparison highlights prices considered high at Algérie Ferries, contrasting with the more affordable offers of its competitor.
