More and more camper friends are going on holiday with their “own four walls” and are using this cheap option for their ferry crossing.

The pitches on the camping deck are always booked up very quickly. This applies to the high and low seasons when there are no holidays. For example, the mild climate in Greece offers ideal conditions for a motorhome trip in spring and autumn.

Camping on board Italy Greece

The most accessible and comfortable journey is with camping on board Italy Greece. Ferries to Greece leave almost every day from Ancona, Bari and Venice in Italy.

  • To embark in Bari, you must accept a longer journey by land, but in return, you have a shorter sea voyage!
  • The crossing from Venice to Igoumenitsa (on the Greek mainland) takes about 27 hours.
  • The crossing from Ancona to Igoumenitsa takes about 19 hours.
  • The crossing from Bari to Igoumenitsa takes about 11 hours.
  • If you want to go directly to Patras in the Peloponnese, it's another 5 to 6 hours on the ferry.

On most ferries, you can retreat to your Camper and take advantage of the amenities on board. The ferries also provide power connections for all campers.

Safety note: Do not use gas-powered devices during crossings. This is not allowed for security reasons.

We offer two specially designed forms of camping on board from Italy to Greece and vice versa:

  • Classic camping on board: Spend the entire crossing in your camper
  • Camping all inclusive: Get a cabin for the deck price

These two forms of traveling with your camper on board are available on most Adriatic routes (Italy - Greece - Italy).

Classic camping on board

Spend the entire crossing in the comfort of your motorhome or caravan while taking advantage of the onboard showers, WCs and 220-volt power outlets. Besides, you can use the showers and the toilets of the ship and the benefits of electric current (220 Volt). You can access all onboard areas, such as restaurants, bars, open decks, shops, cafes etc. All at the price of a deck plus vehicle fare!

The classic camping on board is valid on the following operators (with limited capacity and not valid on all vessels):

  • Anek Lines for the route Venice - Greece - Venice and Ancona - Greece - Ancona from 1st April to 31st October

Pets: They are free of charge and are allowed to be in your camper.

In the case of Camping on Board booking, only possible for vehicles approved as campers or caravans, you must be boarding at least 3 hours before departure and, for safety reasons, using liquid gas or other gases is prohibited during the trip.

Camping on board with pets

Traveling with small animals is trendy!

Many people want to take their dog or cat, and often their guinea pig or hamster, with them on vacation because they have the time to devote to the animals.

When camping on board, your pet can stay in the camper with you. There are no additional costs. However, the animal must be placed in the designated boxes if the noise bothers other passengers.

  • Passengers must declare when checking in at the port if they accompany an animal during the ferry crossing.

All shipping companies also offer the following options for accommodating pets (these accommodation options also apply to the all-inclusive camping option):

  • Animal-friendly cabins at an additional charge of 25.00 euros to 50.00 euros per trip and animal. Early reservation is recommended as the number of these cabins is limited
  • Animal boxes in a covered place on deck, usually payable at the port office for an additional charge of approx. 25.00 euros per trip/animal
  • You can also pre-reserve at go-ferry.com by phone at +30 211 800 8990 or by email at [email protected].

Of course, you can also move freely on deck with your dog or cat. There is also a designated place where the dog can do his business. However, staying in the interior facilities on board (restaurants, bars, lounges, etc.) is not permitted.

Trained dogs for passengers needing assistance are considered an exception if the necessary certificate is present.
