Mumbai Goa RoRo Service Launching in 2025: All You Need to Know
Travelling between Mumbai and Goa is set to become more convenient with the upcoming launch of M2M Ferries’ RoPAX (roll-on/roll-off passenger) ferry service. What sets the Mumbai Goa RoRo Service apart is that it will allow passengers to travel with their vehicles, offering a seamless journey between these two holiday destinations. Previously, Mumbai to Goa cruises have been a great option for people to travel together; and now we’re excited to see how orderly it covers the distance between Mumbai to Goa.
M2M Ferries has enjoyed a great deal of success with the Mumbai to Alibaug RoRo ferry, which was introduced in 2019-2020, with a similar aim to ease travel between Mumbai and Mandwa (as well as its neighbouring towns).
The convenience of taking your own vehicle to your holiday destination has really seen its worth with these RoRo ferry rides. Goa is a relatively popular destination for renting bikes and cars for commuting, which will now become a lot smoother with the Mumbai Goa RoRo.
