Civitavecchia to Termini Imerese Ferry: Overnight GNV to the Island
The Civitavecchia–Termini Imerese ferry is run by GNV: a direct crossing, leaving in the late afternoon or at night and arriving the next morning. It is the only ferry company on this pair; Grimaldi does not run Termini Imerese.

If there is no sailing on your date, look at Naples–Palermo or Genoa–Palermo, or arrive in Palermo instead of Termini: the alternatives are further down.

Civitavecchia to Termini Imerese ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest recent price for an adult without a vehicle. It depends on the accommodation (seat or cabin), the vehicle and the season. As it is a long, overnight crossing, a cabin is usually worth it.
Children and the island resident fare
Children have their own fares: say their age when you search. GNV has a resident fare that also covers the accompanying car and family members on the registration certificate (empadronamiento), with a self-certification if they travel without the resident. It is not available on all sailings and the ticket is non-refundable. It is a ferry company fare, not an I Love Ferry one: ask us before booking.
