Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE PROCESS

Simple online booking and digital boarding

The operator’s system walks you through selecting travel dates and passenger types, adding both outbound and return journeys to the cart, and completing payment — you then receive an email with QR codes to present at embarkation.

THE SAVINGS

Group discounts for larger parties

Groups larger than 20 are eligible for a reduced fare — the booking process requires selecting the “Biglietto ridotto -20%” option to apply the discount for groups over 20 passengers.

THE EMBARKATION

Strict schedule and QR-only boarding

Tickets need not be printed: presenting one QR code per reservation is sufficient, and passengers must respect the booked time precisely and arrive about 20 minutes early for embarkation; pontile numbers next to localities indicate the dock to use.

2
Time-sensitive travelersA good match if you can meet strict embarkation times; the operator requires passengers to respect the booked schedule and to arrive about 20 minutes early.
3
Digital-ticket usersIdeal for travelers who use mobile tickets — printing is unnecessary as a single QR code per reservation is sufficient for boarding.

Those unable to present booking detailsLess suitable for travelers who cannot produce a QR code or comply with the time requirements, since boarding depends on presenting the QR code and respecting the scheduled time.
