    We took the ship from Palermo to Salerno and had a great experience. However, the bed may not be long enough for those who are more than 190cm.

  • "good journey"

    İn spite of checking in late the port staff were extremely helpful and we were loaded in plenty of time for a prompt departure. The purser and his staff were a delight to deal with. The cabin was excellent - clean and comfortable. The only let down was the dining department with the food a disappointment and the staff giving the impression they were doing a duty shift more than they wanted to.

  • "Pleasant stay "

    I had a relaxing overnight journey from Patras to Brindisi - the facilities are slightly dated, but fully functioning. Disembarking is a nightmare and should be better organised but other than that I would highly recommend this ferry service!

  • "my opinion"

    I travelled from Italy to Greece and the ship was full of people sleeping everywhere. I can suggest you, if you don't have children, to don't pay for the cabin, you can stay on the carpet just with a sleeping bag. Staff on board not polite at all. Departure on time with the arrival was 1 hour late.

  • "Grimaldi Lines can't touch Moby Lines"

    We have travelled several times on board various ships. This year, we travelled with Grimaldi Lines from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa. This crossing is only recommended for freight. We had to book a cabin because there was no other accommodation left. The cabin was ok. On deck, there were no seats or chairs available. The restaurant was overcrowded and did not have enough food. We all had to leave early because apparently it had to be cleaned, so everyone had to leave the restaurant and find somewhere else to sit. We headed for our cabin booked and discovered that we were supposed to check out at 22:30. The arrival time was 01.30, meaning we were stuck with our luggage, and in the crowded hallway. Worthless trip.
