River Travel Tips

Make your ferry journey safe, comfortable and memorable.

🛟
Safety First

Always verify life jacket availability before boarding. Avoid unlicensed or overloaded vessels. Stick to BIWTC or registered private operators for long routes.

🛏
Cabin vs Deck

For overnight (Dhaka–Barisal 8h, Dhaka–Khulna 14h), book AC cabin for comfort. Deck class works fine for short routes under 4 hours.

🌙

Most long-route launches depart Sadarghat 6–9 PM and arrive early morning — efficient overnight travel with no hotel cost.

🎒
What to Pack

Bring light blanket, insect repellent, hand sanitizer, snacks, power bank and padlock for your cabin door. Canteen food quality varies.

🌧
Monsoon Season

June–October: check weather before travel. BIWTC may delay or cancel sailings during heavy rain/storm. Book flexible tickets.

🎫
Book in Advance
