Ferry to Sicily

Part of: Italy

Sicily

A ferry to Sicily brings you to Italy’s largest island, just off the southern tip of the mainland, making the sea crossing part of your holiday. Palermo, on the northwestern coast, is a useful gateway to the island’s west, while Messina, in the northeast, faces Calabria across the narrow Strait of Messina. If your holiday centres on Mount Etna, Taormina or the eastern coast, Catania is another useful port city to consider when choosing where to arrive. Explore ferry options to find a departure and arrival point that suit your journey, then book your crossing.
