Benvenuti - Welcome
All the informations, web sites, timetables, tariffs and contacts for all the ferries to Sicily, but
also some suggestions for an excellent trip and for saving money and
time. (Updated January 2025)
- Save Money -
Try to avoid weekend departures (Fri-Sat-Sun) and travel at unusual times
(such as early morning or late at night). Buy a return ticket. Special offers,
discounts and lower tariffs are normally given on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thur, you
can save up to 20% during the summer period. Do not wait until the last
minute as ferries do not adopt the formula last minute and you may risk
paying more because availability is minimum. Always ask if the following
special tariffs are available “spot”, “jackpot”, “best price” etc. usually
accessible at least 8 days prior to departure, but limited. Attention, always
carefully read the terms and conditions of each company because reduced
tariff tickets cannot be changed or reimbursed.
- Save Time -
Many firms and travel agents sell ferries tickets online, save time and
have the ticket delivered to your door with a small contribution for courier
service. Some companies send an “E-mail ticket” or “Fax ticket”, which are
valid documents and are replaced with a ticket at the port of embarkation.
Only trust the online operators that use protected online payments through
conventional banks. Be aware of those online operators that request information
regarding your credit card on the estimate booking form. Do not trust those
online companies that do not state who they are, there telephone number,
address and name of the company.
