Good to know

Timetable and crossing time

From 14 September to 31 December 2026: Tuesday and Wednesday 11:00–19:30 the same day, 8 hours 30 minutes; Thursday and Saturday 20:30–07:00 next day, usually 10 hours 30 minutes. The 24 October overnight crossing takes 11 hours 30 minutes because the clocks go back. All times are local; check your specific date for changes.

Price and booking

Check the fare for your specific daytime or overnight crossing. Include the vehicle, accommodation and pet where applicable to compare the complete total rather than the passenger fare alone.

Vehicle and luggage

Prepare daytime or overnight essentials according to your sailing and check the loaded vehicle dimensions. Keep the garage-deck slip after boarding; return to your vehicle for disembarkation as directed by the crew.

Cabins and seats

For a daytime sailing, compare a seat with a cabin for rest; for an overnight sailing, consider your onward journey from Naples. Capacity and available cabins are checked for the specific departure.

Pets on board

Book your pet’s passage when travelling to Naples. A passenger cabin alone does not include pet access: Pet in Cabin is required. Check current documentation and treatment requirements before boarding.

Fast check-in and reporting

For 11:00, report no later than 09:00 with a vehicle or 10:00 without one; for 20:30, the deadlines are 18:30 or 19:30 respectively. With fast check-in, show your ticket directly at boarding. Check the assigned Palermo berth: the Puntone GPS reference is for the ticket office, not a guaranteed ship location.
