Trip price

Check the fare for your chosen Palermo departure with accurate vehicle dimensions and accommodation for the long crossing. When comparing dates, also consider the different Saturday timetable.

Cars, motorcycles and campers

Check the loaded vehicle dimensions before booking. Keep the garage-deck slip and follow the crew when disembarking. Plan rest on board before a long drive from Livorno.

Cabins and onboard rest

Choose accommodation for the overnight and daytime portions of the journey to Tuscany. Check cabin capacity and date-specific availability. Afternoon arrival does not guarantee cabin use until disembarkation.

Pets

Include your pet in the Livorno reservation. A passenger cabin alone does not permit pet access: Pet in Cabin is also required. Confirm availability and documentation in advance.

Fast check-in and reporting

For 18:30, report no later than 16:30 with a vehicle or 17:30 without one. For Saturday 19:30, the deadlines are 17:30 and 18:30 respectively. With fast check-in, show your ticket directly at boarding. The Puntone GPS reference is for the ticket office; check the assigned berth and access on your ticket.

About the Palermo to Livorno ferry route

After disembarking in Livorno, continue into Tuscany or elsewhere in mainland Italy. Do not treat the arrival time as the time you will be outside the port; allow for disembarkation and a transfer, especially when connecting with a train.
