Foreign markets, and in particular the German-speaking countries are showing lots of promise for Grimaldi Lines.
“Crossing Italy is a way to reach our ports of departure”
"For passengers from the German-speaking countries crossing Italy is the way to reach our ports of departure and from there embark for the final destination of the journey, for example from Livorno to Olbia or Palermo, but also to Tunisia, - says Francesca Marino, head of Grimaldi Lines’ passenger department. -There is also strong demand from Poland and the Czech Republic, using Italy to reach the final destination by ferry.”
In line with 2023 prices and still affordable
In terms of costs, “We are in line with 2023 prices: of course, in the August peak prices are higher, but that is natural. Maritime transport is still affordable and, as we have many departures, the dynamic pricing gives the market the opportunity to find the option that best suits their needs.”
“The port of Brindisi has grown”
In addition to the connections to Sardinia and Sicily, the network to Greece includes the recent debut of Europalink "which increases the capacity offered on the line to Greece by around 20% and joins the connections already operated by Kydon Palace on the Brindisi-Igoumenitsa route. We have great expectations for Greece. The port of Brindisi has grown a great deal and Greece is a very popular destination, and not just for people from southern Italy: the connections are also attractive for those leaving from regions further north, who use the car and then switch to the ferry."
