Salerno Palermo Ferry reviews

  • "Good, clean, friendly and helpful staff "

    The ship departed quite a bit later and I have reflected this in my rating below. However, it made up time and we did arrive on time so I want to make that clear.

  • "Nice trip"

    Excellent trip. The embarkation was slow and not very organised (I guess it depends on the port)

  • "Travel by ferry from Salerno to Palermo"

    The boarding was very fast.We have travelled with the inside cabin. The ferry and the cabin was clean. The ferry arrived very punctual to Palermo. We have not used the restaurant or the bar. Nobody touched our car during the crossing. We can recommend that operator , the price was really good comparing with another crossings to Naples. The only problem was the labguage barrier but I guess in all Italy is the same. We are family of two adults and two children. July 2015

  • "3 hours late and no informations"

    I travelled with a 4 berth outside cabin for the route Salerno-Palermo on the 01/08/14. Bad organization at the check in and during the boarding because the port was very busy. The cabin was not very clean and the air conditioning too strong. Almost all the staff could speak only spanish and it doesn't make any sense for an italian route. We left the port at 2.30am on the 02/08 instead of 11pm of the day before and no one advised us. Tickets too expensive for this delay and this low service on board

Palermo Guide

The city of Palermo is located on the Italian island of Sicily and lies on the island's north west coast and has a large and strategically important natural port, next to the Monte Pellegrino. The city is typically Mediterranean and can trace its history back to the 8th century and is today known for its Norman buildings, fabulous palaces and the hustle and bustle of its markets. Palermo's historic centre is the Quattro Canti district, which means 'Four Corners' and is where a number of the city's most spectacular attractions can be found. These include the Royal Palace and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. The cathedral's sheer size and lovely architecture really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Also popular in the city is the medieval Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi and the 12th century Castello della Zisa. For visitors who enjoy the performing arts there is also the Teatro Massimo which is a recently refurbished theatre that puts on regular performances.

Ferries from the city's port depart to Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples and Tunisia.
