Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane

On the other hand, during the Messina Reggio Calabria crossing on the Metromare, Meridiano Lines or Liberty Lines ferry, you have total freedom in your activities, to eat, walk, entertain or rest. A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
To not get tired, unlike in the car
Driving for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. Conversely, a Messina Reggio Calabria boat trip is ultra relaxing. On board, depending on the Liberty Lines, Meridiano Lines or Metromare ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. No doubt you'll arrive in Reggio Calabria completely relaxed.
No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. This is not the case on the ferry. Like any vehicle, your two-wheeler will be parked in the ship's garage. You travel from Messina to Reggio Calabria with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike.
