Palermo to Genoa Ferry: with GNV, from the Island to Northern Italy
To get from Palermo to Genoa by ferry the ferry company is GNV: a long, direct route, of more than a day's crossing, that operates all year. You leave from the port of Palermo and arrive at the port of Genoa.
It is the return of the Genoa–Palermo line, with sailings almost daily and daily in summer. There is no other ferry company on this route in our data.

GNV on the Palermo to Genoa ferry

Palermo to Genoa ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest recent one for one adult without a vehicle. With so many hours at sea, the seat or the cabin makes the difference, and the car is paid for separately. In summer and over long weekends, sailings fill up sooner.
Children and island resident fare
Children have their own fares: enter the age when you search. GNV has a fare for residents of Sicily and Sardinia that covers the accompanying car and the family members on the certificate of registration (padrón); it is not available on all sailings and the ticket is non-refundable. Ask us if you are a resident: it is a ferry company fare.
