This year Grimaldi Lines has a variety of fresh Mediterranean destinations.
2024 consolidated 2023’s record results
“We recently concluded 2024, consolidating the record results of the previous year: a summer season in which the defined targets were fully achieved and with the confirmation of 20 Grimaldi Lines connections,- says Francesca Marino, head of Grimaldi Lines’ passenger department. -2025 starts with three special promotions, each one for a different public within the broad market target that chooses Grimaldi Lines for the continuity of service and comforts offered on board.”
A raft of promotional discounts
To reward those who book their summer holidays in advance the “Advanced Booking” promotions provide a 20% discount (fixed charges, EU ETS costs and on-board services excluded) on selected departures between 3 June and 30 September from/to Sardinia, Sicily, Spain and Greece. With the difference that for Greece the cabin supplement is excluded from the discount. Both apply to bookings made before 31 March 2025. Completing the range of new offers is “Viaggia Smart,” for those travelling in the low season which provides for bookings, routes and selected departures up to 31 May 2025 with a 25% discount for travel from Monday to Thursday and a 20% discount on return travel on daytime routes. The two discounts can be combined if both conditions are met.
Sales now go through Grimaldi’s Naples headquarters
The most important new destination this season is Greece as the sales of the annual Ancona-Igoumenitsa-Ancona and seasonal Ancona-Corfu-Ancona lines will be through the booking system used by the Grimaldi Group's headquarters in Naples, as will the routes to and from the port of Brindisi. -We are also taking charge of the sales of the routes from Ancona to the ports of Igoumenitsa and Corfu and vice versa. This will allow us to develop a more harmonious commercial policy on Greece, further consolidating our relationship with the brokerage world.”
Theme sailings and shore excursions
The offer of theme trips continues with the “Hotel on board” or “Ship + hotel” formula, on the Civitavecchia-Barcelona-Civitavecchia route. “Easter in Barcelona” is back (from 18 to 23 April), and also confirmed are “Una Nave di Libri per Barcellona” (from 5 to 10 April), “Ballando verso Barcellona” (from 31 May to 3 June) and “Grimaldi Dance Fit Cruise” (from 14 to 17 June) with fitness classes. The company is also promoting packages combining a trip by ship with a stay and excursions ashore from Grimaldi Lines Tour Operator.
Cultural, Southern Italy and Sardinia packages
For those who love classical culture and Greek mythology, the perfect choice is Corfu, where six-day packages are offered, taking advantage of the extraordinary Easter departure from the port of Brindisi. Those wishing to reach the two great capitals of southern Italy can choose between Naples (departing from Palermo) and Palermo (departing from Naples), where packages are also available with the “Ship + Stay” formula which includes guided excursions. The truest and most off-season Sardinia can be explored with four different proposals: two to Alghero and its surrounds (departing from the port of Civitavecchia) and two to Cagliari (departing from the port of Naples), with visits to the historic centre of Cagliari, the sea at Villasimius, the Asinara Park and the beaches and castle in Castelsardo.
