Elba reviews

"Good crossing conditions "

On arrival at the Ferry tickets at the counter of the ferry company, it is important first to pick up with the online submission confirmation. Since this Ticket Counter is before or shortly after the entrance to the ferry terminal, prevents belt you so additional trips by car in the port area and communication difficulties with the staff directly at the Pear. If man should be something premature arrive by car at the port, it is possible with an earlier ferry crossing to occur.

"Travel in low season"

If you can do the holidays in June, it’s the best choice, no long queue for boarding and disembarking. The trip was great, even for the return we arrived an hour before our departure and they made us board the ferry before they were closing the doors. The trip was comfortable, we did not have special needs, but there was also a play area for children, and if there was bad weather there were large rooms with tables and chairs.
