The shipping company allows one carry-on baggage not exceeding 20 kg, which you can conveniently leave in your car or take with you on the upper decks.
In the high season months, the route is in high demand, so we advise you to book in advance and show up at the port at least two hours before the departure stated on your ticket, especially if you will be traveling with a vehicle in tow.

Ferries Messina Salerno On board services
On the Messina Salerno ferries, guests can take advantage of on-board facilities to relax and refresh themselves during the crossing, including the children's play area and lounge with satellite TV or the cafeteria bar and self-service restaurant with hot and cold dishes typical of Mediterranean cuisine.
Due to the length of the Messina Salerno route, the shipping company provides different types of accommodations. You can choose the simple deck passage, the cheapest choice that does not provide an assigned seat but gives you access to different areas of the ship. The seats, on the other hand, are numbered and reclining, placed in air-conditioned areas of the ship, allowing you to rest and enjoy the crossing. If, on the other hand, you want to have a relaxing and comfortable trip, especially since the crossing is at night, we recommend booking a cabin for your exclusive use. Cabins can be double, triple, quadruple, outside or inside, economy or suite equipped with every comfort.
There will also be available cabins and facilities for passengers with reduced mobility. The only recommendation is to request this service when booking to ensure availability.
If you are traveling with a pet, you can opt for the cabin with animal access or alternatively, book accommodation in the appropriate spaces to accommodate them, such as the on-board kennels. Remember to always have with you what you need to board your four-legged friend: leash, muzzle if required, pet carrier and health documentation.
