Why take a ferry from Palermo to Naples ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner 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 Palermo to Naples ferry 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 huge garage of the boat. You travel from Palermo to Naples in complete peace of mind, without fear of your bike being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Naples.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Palermo to Naples. But, it is not always pleasant to stay tied to your seat for long hours. During the Palermo Naples ferry trip with Tirrenia di Navigazione, Grimaldi Lines, Grandi Navi Veloci or SNAV, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never give you so many services during the trip.
To finally take the time to travel
Everything must always go fast in our society. Sailing at less than 40km/h on board a SNAV, Grandi Navi Veloci, Grimaldi Lines or Tirrenia di Navigazione ferry on 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...). It is even likely that you will regret arriving in Naples so quickly!
