Tickets

The ferry was really nice. There's a microwave! Instant noodles on board + drinks. I got the dorm bed and that was easy and comfy. The view was really nice.

Personally for me I had really bad sea sickness 😔 the heating... more was also way too high indoors so that didn't help. Thankfully I was able to lie down in the dorm bed and sleep it off.

This aside pretty easy and spacious ferry. Internet was great except in dorm rooms (upstairs) were a bit spotty

On time, smooth and efficient travel! Hope that there would be more timings offered from Fukue to Kamigoto

I slept like a baby. Staff was great getting on and getting off

Everything really clean and efficient. Room comfy and big

Veltra made it possible for me -- as a foreigner with no Japanese language -- to reserve a private room on the overnight ferry from Hakata to Fukue. I'm so grateful for this, because it would've been very confusing to tr... morey and book it in person. It doesn't seem like a common route for foreigners.

TIPS FOR FELLOW TRAVELERS: look for "Terminal 2" Hakata Port on google maps, because there are multiple "Hakata Ports" and you don't want to end up at the wrong one.

Once you're at the terminal, head upstairs and wait in line to pick up your actual tickets. There are two lines - the left one is for passengers with vehicles and the right is for passengers only. The VELTRA voucher doesn't function as a ticket, so you have to pick up the actual tickets.

The ferry itself is very clean, quiet, and has multiple vending machines for snacks and drinks (including hot coffee and beer). There is a shower room, but no towels, so make sure to bring your own. Slippers are provided.

If you're large like me (188cm), I would highly recommend booking a twin room for yourself. It was very spacious and I had a great night's rest, considering the ferry begins making stops around 3 AM and you definitely feel it.

For what you get, the price is extremely fair. I actually was worried the booking might be wrong, because it seemed too cheap for a private room (compared to ferries in Europe and the USA). But it all worked out and I got everything that I paid for (and more)!
