A. If you're planning to travel to the Andaman from Vizag, Chennai or Kolkata, be aware that there are government-operated ships available. However, these ships are not the luxurious cruise liners you may have envisioned. Instead, they offer a more basic mode of transportation. To book these ships, you will need to visit the shipping service office in the respective city. The official Andaman ship schedule website usually posts details about the timings of these ships around 15 days prior to their departure. It's important to note that there are no more than one to two ships available each week, so it's important to plan your travel accordingly.
