It should not be about getting from point A to point B, traveling should be more than that — it should be fluid and enjoyable. A hassle-free journey can make all the difference whether you are going on a vacation or going home. That’s why understanding and utilizing onboard services can raise your trip to another level. You can have the most amazing meals onboard, be the first off the ferry, the whole nine yards, it can be a relaxing, memorable adventure.
Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV) is a leader in ferry services who has made it their mission to provide all travelers with the highest standard of comfort and convenience. Their offering isn’t just transportation, they offer services to meet a variety of needs. GNV’s perks can help you save time, cut down stress, and put you in the mood to enjoy your journey, whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure. So, let’s get into some great ways you’ll travel like a boss.
Beyond Transportation
Get to your destination, but much more than that. Their services are designed with travelers in mind — offering both convenience, flexibility, and value. One thing that stood out to me was all about personalization, as they let you personalize your experience according to your preference.
As an example, their prepaid Food Pass options mean that you won’t have to think about where or how you’re going to get your meals on board. Meanwhile, the Priority Disembarkation service ensures you’ll save as much time as possible when you arrive at your destination. For those who want to extend a little longer, a cabin for those who want to, the Late Check Out service adds an extra layer of relaxation. GNV stands apart from other ferry operators because of these thoughtful services, so to speak, which together make up a special travel experience that is specifically designed for you.
1. Food Pass
Imagine ordering your favorite dishes without spending out of your already limited budget during your trip. With the GNV Food Pass, a prepaid card, you can benefit from the convenience of spending your meals on board and save money as well! These cards are available in three tiers — €30, €50, and €100 — perfect for solo travellers, families or anyone who enjoys a good meal.
The Food Pass is a great value with discounts of 10 to 20 percent. For instance, with the Super Food Pass, at €79.90, you spend €100 to get more for less. That flexibility also allows you to choose your meals, and you can have hearty breakfasts, gourmet dinners, and everything in between during your voyage. This pass is a must-have whether you’re a foodie or just trying to simplify your trip.
GNV’s Food Pass is the perfect way to prepay for your meals, and take the stress out of dining.
2. Priority Disembarkation
Time is all too precious, especially if you want to start your vacation or return home. You can be one of the first passengers to disembark with GNV’s Priority Disembarkation service. For those traveling with their cars, this is a very useful service because it helps you get out of the garage area fast and hit the road faster.
This service is reserved exclusively for certain routes, such as Genoa – Palermo and Genoa – Porto Torres and gives access to a designated boarding area. It’s an affordable way to save time and have a smoother experience, with a cost of between €20 and €30 depending on your route and travel date.
3. Late Check-Out
Feeling rushed while enjoying your trip? There’s nothing more frustrating. Late Check-Out is GNV’s service that lets you enjoy your time on board and stay in your cabin up to 15 minutes before the ferry docks.
For those traveling on overnight ferries or with families, this service is especially convenient, providing you the extra time to pack, relax, or enjoy your private space. Late Check Out is offered, for example, on routes like Naples to Palermo, Genoa to Tunis or Tunis to Naples and adds an extra touch to your journey with a seamless transfer from the ship to your destination.
4. Pre-Sale Option
Flexibility is often necessary when planning travel, but shouldn’t have to be at the cost of affordability. GNV’s Pre Sale option allows you to reserve your tickets with only a 20% of the total amount upfront. There is a maximum of 30 days to pay off the balance of your booking, so you can guarantee your seat without having a big financial hit.
For travelers that just want to lock in the best deals while keeping their plans flexible, this is the perfect option. Plus, with a minimum deposit of €50, there’s something for everyone. Spread out your payments so you can plan your dream trip without first having to pay upfront.
5. Price Lock
Are you stressed about the fluctuation in travel prices when you book? With GNV’s Price Lock, you can lock in your favorite fare for up to two days to help finalize your plans. It is a lifesaver when prices can change quickly during peak travel seasons.
The Price Lock option enables you to decide when you want to, without the risk of losing your preferred fare. It is a convenient choice for last-minute planners as you can select this option up to six days before departure. That’s just another way that GNV helps you stay in control of your travel experience.
GNV’s Price Lock lets you take control of your travel plans — secure your dream fare today.
Travel with Elegance
Grandi Navi Veloci’s suite of services is designed with one goal in mind: to make your journey as smooth, enjoyable, and convenient as possible. GNV combines thoughtful features such as the Food Pass and Priority Disembarkation with flexible booking options like Pre-Sale and Price Lock, so that every traveler’s needs are met.
The services in these categories underscore the brand’s ambition to do more than transportation, providing an experience that feels like it is personal and seamless. GNV gives you all the power you need to travel your way — from delicious onboard meals, time-saving disembarkation, to flexible payment plans.
Why GNV Stands Out
Putting passengers first has not only given Grandi Navi Veloci a reputation as a leader in ferry travel but has also enhanced it. What travelers value most, their innovative services show — convenience, flexibility, and great value for money. GNV is always working to improve its offering to keep you looking forward to each journey.
