কক্সবাজার থেকে সেন্টমার্টিন জাহাজ: ভাড়া, জেটি ও সময়
পর্যটকবাহী জাহাজ ছাড়ে কক্সবাজারের নুনিয়ারছড়া বিআইডব্লিউটিএ জেটি থেকে। দূরত্ব প্রায় ১২০ কিলোমিটার, আর যেতে সময় লাগে প্রায় ৬ থেকে ৭ ঘণ্টা। জাহাজ ছাড়ার অন্তত ১ ঘণ্টা আগে জেটিতে পৌঁছে যান।
এই মৌসুমে পর্যটকেরা টেকনাফ থেকে জলপথে যেতে পারবেন না। এমভি টেকনাফ শুধু একটি জাহাজের নাম, সেটিও কক্সবাজার থেকেই ছাড়ে। পুরো ভাড়া দেখুন জাহাজের টিকিটের দাম পাতায়, আর সময় দেখুন জাহাজের সময়সূচিতে। দূরত্ব নিয়ে পড়ুন দূরত্ব ও সময়ের লেখায়।
