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.

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.

I was very satisfied with…
I was very satisfied with the Grimaldi Lines ferry. The ship made a high-quality and clean impression, and the cabins were spacious and comfortable. While the food and drinks were a bit pricey, overall I was very happy with the trip. I would definitely choose this ferry again.
This was my first time…
This was my first time traveling with Grimaldi, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The crew was friendly, the facilities very comfortable, and above all, the overall cleanliness, especially of the restrooms, was quite impressive. Thanks to the crew. I've never experienced anything being cleaned during a voyage with GNV before. With Grimaldi, they even cleaned during the night. Thank you for that!
The thermostat should be way…
The thermostat should be way more simple, felt like a sweathouse, very hard to adjust.
Other than that, very smooth sailing.
