During the summer, in the peak season, runs are daily and there are up to 7 sailings per week on the route, operated by the company Grandi Navi Veloci.
Ferries on the Genoa to Palermo route have spacious garages where they can board all types of vehicles, from passenger cars to vans for cargo transport. Passengers can choose to travel by the means they prefer such as a car, motorcycle, camper, caravan or simply on foot. Instead, by going through the appropriate office, you can make reservations with cargo vans or trucks.
If you wish to travel with your pet, you have selected the right route! Pets are allowed on board Genoa Palermo ferries. They will not, however, have access to the ship's common areas or dining areas such as bars and restaurants, but you will easily find areas located on both outside and inside decks where your four-legged friends can also enjoy the crossing.
Cabins with special equipment and assistance services for passengers with reduced mobility are also available upon request and reservation. Please remember to request any service in advance for organizational matters.
Ferries Genoa Palermo On board services
On board the ferries that sail on the Genoa Palermo, there are numerous services to make the crossing more pleasant and relaxing: a play area for children, video games, a cinema, and sometimes even shows with live music. Dining options include a snack bar, pizzeria, restaurant and self-service, which prepare Mediterranean specialties with fresh and genuine products.
Due to the long length of the route and the fact that it is mainly carried out at night, the shipping company Grandi Navi Veloci offers a wide range of accommodations. You can choose the simple deck passage, the most economical choice that does not provide an assigned seat, but gives you the opportunity to have access to different areas of the ship. The seats, on the other hand, are numbered and reclining, placed in air-conditioned areas of the ship. If, on the other hand, you wish to have a relaxing trip in total privacy, we recommend booking a cabin for your exclusive use. Cabins can be double, triple, quad, outside or inside, family or deluxe suites.
On the Genoa Palermo you can book cabins with animal access if you want to travel with your pet, they are equipped with every comfort you may need. Onboard kennels remain available, however, if a cabin is not booked. Remember to have with you everything you need for boarding for your pet: they will need to be on the ticket, have a leash, muzzle if required, carrier if a cat, and the necessary health documentation.
Remember to show up at the boarding gate at least two hours before the departure time stated on the ticket, given the turnout that this route has, especially if you are traveling with a vehicle in tow.
