Why take a ferry from Palermo to Cagliari ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner or with the family, a Palermo to Cagliari ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Cagliari. Here are 3 reasons why we think Palermo to Cagliari ferry is an ideal way to travel.

To enjoy the incredible sea view
Generally, when we go on vacation by the sea, we look for a sea view as much as possible (at the restaurant, at the hotel, while hiking...). During the Palermo Cagliari crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Tirrenia di Navigazione or Grimaldi Lines ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers. Everywhere, large windows will give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to enjoy its soothing power.
No need to worry about traveling with your bike
Traveling with your bike by train, plane or bus often turns into a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry it. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Palermo-Cagliari crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Cagliari.
Not to worry about the number of bags
With the train, bus or plane, a free baggage allowance is often applied and any additional baggage generates an additional cost. However, when you board a Tirrenia di Navigazione or Grimaldi Lines ferry in Palermo, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are traveling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will have to keep your luggage with you until you arrive in Cagliari. However, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers. Check with Tirrenia di Navigazione or Grimaldi Lines.
