What to do and see in Italian Riviera, Liguria: The Best Ferries

June 7, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

My girlfriend organised this ferry service for us to take the 8pm departure from Napoli to Palermo on the overnight ferry. A few hours before we had to disembark we looked at some reviews and were honestly sickened by what could happen. After reading review after review of poor this, poor that and numerous “DO NOT BOOK” warnings we braced ourselves for what could be a horrendous journey. We got to the port way earlier than we should have and had to wait around for a while which was totally our fault. Do not get there too early if you choose to take this ferry. Once we had boarded and spoken with several friendly staff we were pleased to see that the ferry was relatively quiet and we had an abundance of space to sprawl out in. We chose the cheaper Pullman Seat option and did not take the cabin to save money. The ferry was delayed by 40 mins but we didn’t mind. We slept comfortably with little motion in the ship and woke to clear instructions of where to go to exit the ferry and can honestly say that there were no issues with our trip. If you can handle a slight smell of diesel from the ship you’ll be fine. We experienced no issues with our travel and find the poor reviews we have read laughable. Maybe we were lucky but we can’t complain. Would use again
