Vladivostok Travel Forum

I know that there is a ferry that gors between Vladivostok (actually nearby) to South Korea, however I'm having a hard time getting information on it. Has anyone done it or know of a website that gives information on it. I did find one but it was in Korean.

Vladivostok to other Asian ports

Sokcho, Korea to Zarubino, Russia
Ferry leaves Monday and Wednesday at 2 pm and Friday at 3 pm.
Ferry arrives Zarubino at 10 am
Travel to Vladivostok by bus takes about 4 hours. Note that Zarubino is in the Primorye area of Russia. Although there are plans to extend service to Vladivostok, there is no indication as to when this might occur.

There is also info in LP Korea.

Dear Sevse!

Once a week right now ferry arrives to Vladivostok right now, in this case it cost just 10-20 USD more then it arrives to Zarubino, but it is more convinient. As when you arrive to Zarubimo , it is a small city eith no infrustructure, roads are bad and plus it is a border zone which means that foreigners are not treated well there.

I have sample prices for good cabins on a web-site to compare it with airfaiк

Bon voyage, Julia
