Juist Port Information

Crossing with the ferry

Reservations must be made for the crossing. Tickets can be booked online or, if available, purchased at the ticket counter on the day of departure.

Hand luggage may be carried on the crossing. All other luggage must be handed in to the staff at the luggage container before departure. This will be returned to you on arrival on the island.

Crossing with the island express

The crossing with the island express is much faster than by ferry. With the small boats of the Cassen-Tours shipping company, which can accommodate up to eleven passengers per trip, the journey only takes 45 minutes.

The boats depart from the Norderney terminal in the port of Norddeich. Tickets must be reserved online in advance or can also be purchased at the ticket counter or on board, depending on availability. One piece of luggage per guest is transported free of charge. A train ticket booked to Juist is not valid for the island express.

By train to Norddeich-Mole

Deutsche Bahn trains run to Norddeich-Mole and thus to the ferry terminal. Train tickets can be booked directly to Juist, a ferry ticket then no longer needs to be purchased. Rail travelers receive the necessary spa card when leaving the ship.

Parking facilities in the port of Norddeich

There are three parking spaces to choose from in the harbor. Two of them are located directly at the jetty, the third is a little further into town (P3). Some of the parking spaces are equipped with video surveillance and a parking space can be booked before departure. If you don't want to lug your luggage from your car to the pier, you can use the shuttle bus between the parking lot and the pier for one euro. In addition to these parking spaces provided by the shipping company, other providers also offer parking space where the car can be parked in a hall, for example.

From the island harbor to the town

The main town on the island of Juist is around one kilometer from the port and is therefore easy to reach on foot. If you rent accommodation in the Koog district, you will have to walk two kilometers. A more comfortable way to travel is by horse-drawn bus or cab, which are already waiting in the harbor to take vacation guests to their accommodation.

Töwerkart

The Töwerkart is the card with which many things are regulated during a vacation on Juist. It is a ferry ticket, guest card and gives you access to the beach. This card is also used to pay the guest contribution. It is available from the ticket office in Norddeich. Rail travelers who have booked a trip to Juist can get it at the ticket counter on Juist.
