Why travel by ferry from Palermo to Naples?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Palermo to Naples ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Naples. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Palermo to Naples is an ideal way to travel.

Transporting your bike is not a problem
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You travel from Palermo to Naples with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Naples.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Palermo to Naples. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. During the Palermo Naples ferry journey with Tirrenia di Navigazione, Grimaldi Lines, Grandi Navi Veloci or SNAV, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
To finally take the time to travel
Everything in our society has to go fast. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a SNAV, Grandi Navi Veloci, Grimaldi Lines or Tirrenia di Navigazione ferry for the 194 mi between Palermo and Naples will be a relaxing stop. All ships are equipped with a multitude of services (bar, restaurants, lounges, entertainment, etc...). You may even regret arriving in Naples so quickly!
