BOARDING PROCEDURES ON FERRIES IN GENOA AND PALERMO

To embark on the Genoa - Palermo ships without a car, it is essential to check in: at the time of boarding at the port of Genoa you must present your printed ticket, your valid identity document, and the documents of those traveling with you. For each passenger, you will then collect the boarding pass with the accommodation number, a certificate that you must keep until the time of disembarkation. At this point, you will reach the area dedicated to security checks and follow the indications for the ship's access ramps: GNV staff will ask you for your documents and boarding pass and will show you how to reach your accommodation or the on-board reception. 

 

Boarding with car, motorcycle, and camper

Deciding to leave for Sicily with a car, motorcycle, or camper in tow means being able to move freely from one part of the Island to another and reach destinations and attractions outside the most obvious tourist circuits: a holiday on the road that will give you incomparable emotions revealing the true soul of this land.   

At the time of boarding at the port of Genoa, when you hand over your boarding pass you will also receive a card with your destination that the designated staff will place on the vehicle's windshield: it will serve the Company's staff to have your vehicle boarded more quickly. 

Our staff will then indicate in which area of the square to wait for boarding before parking in the on-board garage. Once in the garage, you will be given a tag indicating the deck-garage where the car is parked, which you will need to retrieve it quickly at the time of disembarkation at the port of Palermo.
