About Livorno

The Port of Livorno, a cornerstone of Italy's maritime infrastructure, plays a pivotal role in facilitating international trade and passenger travel across the Mediterranean. Located on Tuscany's western coast, it serves as a key gateway to central and northern Italy, offering seamless connections to the Tyrrhenian Sea and beyond. Its strategic position makes it an essential hub for cargo operations, ferry services, and cruise tourism.

Renowned for its advanced logistics and state-of-the-art facilities, the Port of Livorno efficiently handles diverse shipping needs, including containerised goods, bulk cargo, and roll-on/roll-off operations. With a rich maritime history that reflects Tuscany's seafaring heritage, the port combines tradition with innovation, supporting the region's economic growth while fostering sustainable practices. Its connectivity and robust operations make it a crucial node in Italy’s maritime and global trade networks.

About Palermo

Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily; its ferry port is on the northwest coast of the island. In the Middle Ages, Palermo was one of the premier cities in Europe, but today it is still recovering from its twentieth-century ruin. With its reputation as a hotbed of both petty and organised crime, Palermo's attractions are often overlooked. There is some beautiful architecture to be found here, and the city has good museums, churches, markets, and restaurants that are well worth a visit.

Palermo's historic centre, Quattro Canti, in the form of a large octagonal square, is the main attraction in the city's old quarter. Many churches, structures, monuments, and other historical sites of interest are located in or near Palermo's Quattro Canti.

The ship isn't coming at all; they supposedly canceled the trip due to weather, and it was at the last minute. I'm coming from Germany. I'm driving over 1000 km. After that, they canceled, and so far I haven't received a refund for the tickets, nor have I been paid any compensation or damages. I'm not answering the phone; the staff on site are friendly and unfriendly. Never again! A nightmare.
