Port entrances and transport
Listed entrances are Cristoforo Colombo on Via dell’Arsenale, and Amari and Santa Lucia on Via Francesco Crispi. Use the entrance specified for your sailing rather than simply the nearest one to the GPS point. For city buses and trams, check AMAT services and allow time for the final stretch with luggage.
Boarding assistance
Arrange assistance for a passenger with reduced mobility with the operator in advance. Port terminals have a meeting point; confirm the specific location and reporting time. Have the ticket and valid documents for all passengers, including children, ready.
