Sister ship to the La Suprema, La Superba can carry up to 2920 passengers on each crossing. This fine ferry contains 567 cabins, 37 suites and also four specially adapted disabled cabins. There is room for 984 vehicles and the ship can reach speeds of up to 28 knots. With room for a lot of travellers, the ship comes with plenty of facilities and attractions to ensure an enjoyable sailing experience for all.

Comfortable cabin options are available onboard La Superba. With 567 cabins and 37 luxurious suites to choose from, you won’t be disappointed. All cabins come with air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, including a shower and hairdryer and the comfy beds will help you put your feet up, relax and maybe get some much needed sleep.
If you choose to stay in one of the sumptuous suites you will be able to take advantage of complimentary air conditioning, a television, radio and mini bar, as well as a large porthole for you to admire the sea views.

"Boat trip "
Very poor organization. The ship left way too late. Overal cleanliness was very poor, aswell was the food. I would never take a ferry again with this company. Not worth the money at all.

"Bring your own food!"
As usual this was a good, efficient trip (my 4th in the past 5 years). however - the cafeteria food was in no way up to the standard you would expect. One other point- for anyone doing this trip for the first time, bear in mind that the road system approaching the port is very confusing, and the signage not at all clear (especially at night)

"GNV palermo to genoa- a good way to travel"
Generally this was a good trip with a nice cabin. However, the main irritation on this and the outbound journey was the requirement to vacate the cabin by 4.30pm when we were not due to arrive until 7.45pm (actually it was an hour later). That is 4 hours sitting in a crowded coffee area or on the deck which was not possible some of the time because of rain. We paid for a higher class of cabin on the assumption that we would be able to relax in it until we arrived. It seems that this is done to prepare the rooms prior to arrival for the next cruise. But is it also so the crew can get off early? We have previously done the similar length journey with P&O from Santander to Plymouth and we were able to stay in our cabin until docking. Finally the staff in the self-service restaurant, greeting, cleaning the cabins and the bars were fairly unfriendly and unhelpful. They were better in the a la carte restaurant.

"Chaos"
The voyage itself was splendid. However finding the key to my cabin was extremely frustrating. I had to wander the halls carrying my luggage for a good 10 minutes. This is probably a good time for me to say that I speak Italian. Likewise Dis embarkation was extremely chaotic. Once we were allowed off the ship we found ourselves in an area of Palermo that was dark and lacking signs. This is probably a good time for me to say I had visited Palermo twice before and so could eventually find my way. New travelers had a lot harder time of it. I have taken French ferries to and from Sicily and they are much better organized.

"Very relaxing experience - eventually "
Well, the check in process at Genoa was a little bit confusing- there are virtually no road signs except one at the side of the road in Italian which said “Embarcado” and if we has missed it I am sure we would have spent ages trying to find it again. Genoa is a huge port and ok this is Italy but some concession to non native speakers would have been welcome. Anyway we eventually found the ticket office and collected our tickets and having been checked three times made it to the loading queue. From then on, chaos reigned with cars being directed right, left, straight ahead and anything in between.and we started loading at around 9.15pm. We tried to follow directions as best we could but Italian drivers were very impatient and beeped at us if we were not quite fast enough. We eventually parked on the garage deck and made our way up to our cabin. From then on it was great - a whole 21 hours of nothing to do, but one tip here - if you can, stop at a supermarket and purchase your en route snacks and drinks to take on board as on the boat prices are high and quality mediocre. Cabin was fine, very comfortable- only downside you are booted out 21/4 hours before you reach Genoa and have to sit in a crowded bar until you reach port - assuming you can get a seat that is. Still, saved me 800 miles driving through Italy and that’s got to be a positive!

"Trip Palermo to Genova"
Strike just before my arrival at Palermo Port delaying sailing for four hours. Total chaos checking-in & loading. Appalling management of vehicles & information non existant. Not helped by delay but I would be surprised if chaos was not the norm. Ship itself very nice including my room (4 berth booked just for myself & would be fine for two. Four would be claustrophobic). After very late arrival a further 1.5 hours for me to disembark. Obviously many earlier but some later. First on is last off. I would try to find an alternative not because of the ship itself but the port procedures & handling are appalling. I would not recommend this trip, not because of the ship itself but the poor sailing time to begin with & the terrible port handling

I booked this ferry leaving Genoa at 2000. A combination of GNV rescheduling (3 hours) and apparent strike action @ Genoa (4hours) left us quayside until 0300 the following morning. No sign whatsoever of strike, in fact port workers acting flat out to get everyone onboard, although chaotic at times. Further delays in loading and now scheduled to arrive 2300 tonight. No possibility of arriving in time to access a campsite for our Motor home so facing another long night quayside in Palermo. Advice from reception - try speaking to a local to find out where we can stop safely! Far less than impressive!

"Great but for the waiting"
We have now travelled on the Genova-Palermo or Palermo-Genova route about a dozen times over the last 6 years. We think it is a great service, far preferable to driving the length of Italy, and good value IF you go outside the high season, as we do. We generally take an outside cabin with a double bed, for optimum comfort -- the journey does take 20-22 hours, which is exhausting if you only take an airline seat. If you can afford a cabin, go for it. We find the self-service cafeteria not very good, so we tend to take some food on the boat to eat in the evening and for breakfast. But we do usually eat lunch in the more up-market Restaurant Chandelier, which is excellent. The only downside to the journey is the long wait to disembark, particularly if our car is located deep down on Deck A, which for some reason it always is. Two to two-and-half hours waiting around from the time you are asked to vacate your cabin to the time you can drive off the boat, is rather long.

"Ferry to Sicily From Genoa "
We had a nice trip on the ferry which generally very good. The bar was lovely with a really good DJ playing excellent music. We had a cabin which although quite small, was clean tidy and had a good shower. The main problem we had was with the meals. We paid for breakfast and 2 meals upfront. There was no information supplied about anything on the ship. You had to go to the reception desk to ask. We were told that the vouchers supplied for the measy could only be used in what can only be described as the canteen. We picked a few things for breakfast even though we had the vouchers had to pay €10 extra. We had lunch which was stone cold. They must have known this as there are microwaves in the middle of the canteen to reheat your food. We then asked what time the evening meal was served from and we're told that they closed after lunch and did not reopen. The only other problem we had was the cleanliness of the toilets in the public areas.

No TV or WiFi in cabins - unfortunate for long trips. Cabins of Scandinavian ferries much better equipped. Car drivers following instructions and arriving early or on time are loaded onto the lowest deck and have to wait an hour to disembark. Car drivers deliberately arriving late are loaded onto the upper decks allowing immediate departure. Something wrong there, surely?

We had a really excellent mini cruise from Palermo to Genoa. The sea was flat calm and the weather excellent. The cabin was comfortable and spacious and food and drinks were not over priced as on some ferries. We had to wait 45 mins to disembark which as it was around 8.00 pm could have been a problem for getting to our overnight campsite. It would have taken us 3 days to have driven the distance and cost us more. Looking forward to travelling with them again next year.

"Travelling by car to Malta"
The ferry from Genoa, Italy covers a large part of the travelling and cost less than driving the length of Italy, unless your vehicle uses very little fuel. It was our third trip on this route although it is later in the season so was busier than before. The cabins are well presented and well worth purchasing; the hot shower in the en suite is so welcoming after the drive across the UK , France and Italy. I don't think we had this ferry before as our beds this time were a little harder and there was some damage on the sink but nothing that affected our useage. The anouncement system was broken so coupled with the speaker's accents we could not understand the instructions this time but at least we knew the procedures. The restaurant provides hot food but they use bain mare pans to keep things hot whilst serving and it doesn't seem to work very well so they have at least put a microwave in the restaurant for the customer's use. Another advantage is that they have Kennels and a walking deck for pets so you can take them with you, although not into the cabins. Disadvantages are that they do not go directly to Malta and so we have to drive the length of Sicily and get an overnight stay somewhere to catch the Pozzallo ferry to Valletta in the morning. I think Gran Navi Veloci could make a huge trade if they ran a passenger ferry from Genoa to Sardinia then on to Malta. Happy travels.

Having used this ferry route previously, I knew what to expect, and as usual it was clean, on time, and the trip was a pleasant one. I only had one annoying moment, and on the route from Palermo to Genoa, we had a good meal, well presented in the a la carte restaurant, unfortunately on requesting a coffee, and a liquer, the coffee arrived cold. We informed the waiter who told us he thought it may be as the machine had been broken since the day before. Instead of apologising, and making a coffee in the kitchen, getting one from the bar, or just heating it up in the microwave, which was situated next to the defunct coffee machine, we were told there was no coffee available. On paying our bill, I thought that in lieu of a coffee, that the liquer would have been offered free by way of compensation. No, it was not, and both waiters were by now being rude. A senior member of staff arrived, and took us through to the bar, and sorted out a complimentary coffee, at the same time as agreeing with us that the matter could and should have been handled better. I will use the ferry again, but if the same staff are in the a la carte restaurant, I shall not be utilising it. The remainder of the staff were helpful and pleasant through out both trips.

The Palermo-Genoa service is generally a good one -- the cabins are clean, if a little old-fashioned, the restaurant food is OK and the staff are polite. However, I do think that the disembarcation procedures need looking at. We were asked to leave our cabin at 5.30 for a projected 7.00pm arrival (2 hours early due to very calm seas)and then had to sit in a very crowded bar until 7.30, eventually getting off the boat at about 8.00pm. It does not seem very efficient, but perhaps that is due to the multiple vehicle decks.

All you have to do is to modify the loading order. -the opening hours of the restaurant and of the self restaurant are too short -getting evicted from your cabin 2 hours before arrival with nowhere too sit is really unconfortable and gives the bad impression before the end of the journey. -the catering staff should be commercial : ex: a cold coffee which was still billed.

We were disappointed with the outbound journey and satisfied with the inbound journey. OUTBOUND: difficult boarding, the vehicle was placed on the external deck and the car was covered with salt when we arrived, there was only one place to eat and no confortable deck outside. You need to bring something to keep you occupied during the crossing! that ferry was fitter for freight than for tourism. INBOUND: the disembarkement is fluid and efficient, the boat is spacious and well equiped (there were several places to eat, several rooms and spaces to relax, outer decks with a pool, a movie theatre, a club...). The restaurant was good (the spaghetti with seafood were delicious). The lounge is huge, so in high season it's probably not that quiet!

The lower, larger, lounge has much more ambient noise from the ships engines....and 20 hours is a long time to have to spend there with both the noise and no natural light. Even in the large bar/lounge further forward.. there is constant noise from two differently tuned televisions..in addition to which...on two occasions , some fairly talent-free `ships entertainer` insisted on assaulting our ears with his out of tune karaoke crooning.(NO..the tvs were NOT turned off during this...he just got louder and louder.)

On both trips between Genoa and Palermo, there was nothing to complain about. This is true for the ferries La Superba and Splendit which I keep very well as high quality vessels in memory.

"Reaching Sicily"
The Genoa to Palermo ferry is the cheapest way to reach Sicily from Northern Europe. It takes about 20/21 hours, a very easy trip, not very busy each time we have used it, and takes all the hassle out of the LONG drive. The GNV ferries are quite well appointed, quite comfortable, and all in all, by far the best way to travel.

"Plain sailing, once aboard."
The ship and the trip were fine and it was very enjoyable. However, the cabins and some of the infrastructure are a little on the tired side. Having said the that the shower in the cabin was very good with lots of hot water. It would have been better if the shower curtain had been replaced by a door. As usual the food on board was a little pricey. I feel certain they would sell much more if prices were lower. The real problems are encountered getting to the port and finding the ship. There seems to be little room to direct traffic into lanes leading to the waiting/loading area and it is a bit of a free for all. Driving through Palermo is an 'interesting' experience. I suppose everyone should do it al least once in their life but signs to the port entrance would help. In the end, the ship was over an hour late leaving but managed to arrive in Genoa an hour early. Very Italian. Getting off also seems to be a bit of a free-for-all. Without doubt both the loading and unloading could do with more control at the level of the port with clear access routes and the port entrance being properly signed. Definitely an interesting experience.

The ferry from Genoa to Tunis and vice versa, booked through Directferries, was a good move last summer. The procedures were clear, the journey excellent. The duration of the journey depends on the boarding procedures: the ship does not leave until everyone is on board. This meant that both our journeys took 18 hours instead of 24, but departure was 2 hours later than planned both times. The ship is great.

For a 1500 euros trip, either English or French would have been normal. Our suite wasn't clean! There was dust everywhere, the linen had holes.

The majority of services were unavailable during our outbound trip: nightclub, swimming pool, gym... It is also unacceptable that we had to assemble 2 hours before arrival in a narrow space (half an hour would have largely suffice). The delays are not always announced. Everything is calculated to part you with as much money as possible. The food is overpriced and tasteless.

"Enjoyable Tunis to Genoa"
We enjoyed our trip very much. The cabin was excellent, in good condition and clean. The ship also is generally in very good shape and seems well-kept. That said, a minor thing: the pools were all 'out of order' during our trip. The staff said that 'Work is being done on them,' though to us, it looked as if they were simply closed as no one was doing anything with them. The main critique we have is regarding the lack of information on board. For instance, our arrival time in Genoa was early [as far as we understood from the planned arrival time when we bought the tickets], but we only learned of the arrival time a short time before we were required to be out of our cabin. So we were very rushed to pack and leave our cabin, but only because of the lack of information. The crew could easily have informed us when they showed us our cabin, or at another time. There were numerous other instances like this. We had to ask about most things on the ship as so little was made clear.

GNV provides clean and functional cabins. However, if the plumbing or the pipework has a problem, a Filipino technician, who speaks neither English nor French nor Italian nor Arabic intervene and the problem is not always resolved right away. The food isn't a match for italian or tunisian cuisine. The staff is very pleasant if the boat is not too full. Otherwise, they can upset easily (and I can understand). The opening hours of the duty-free are too restrictive and it's difficult to find anything to eat or drink during the night. Although the cabins are clean, noone cleans the corridor during the crossing. Do those problems explain why the prices are cheaper than with other companies?
