Where to Check In Your Ferry Tickets

Once at the port with your tickets purchased at the best price on Ferriesonline.com, your first step is to locate the ticket office for the ferry company you've booked with (such as GNV, Grimaldi, Moby Lines, Tirrenia, SNAV, etc.). Follow the signs to easily find the check-in area.

Required Documents for Port Check-In

To complete your check-in at any European port, you will need to present several essential documents to the ferry company’s office:

  • Ferry Ticket: Purchase it easily on Ferriesonline.com and show it in digital or printed format.
  • Valid ID Card: Required for all passengers, including children and infants. The ID must be current to ensure boarding access.
  • Passport: Required only for international trips. Ensure it is valid for the entire duration of your journey.

IMPORTANT: Remember that health cards are not recognized as valid identification, nor are driver’s licenses (they’re valid only within Italy). All passengers must present proper identification or risk being denied boarding.

How to Board the Ferry After Check-In

After completing check-in, you’ll receive your Boarding Pass, which is essential for accessing the designated boarding area. Pay close attention to the times listed on your ticket and boarding pass; punctuality is key, as ferries depart on schedule, and any delay could mean missing your trip.

We recommend arriving at the port well in advance to avoid lines or last-minute issues. If traveling with a vehicle, ensure you're in the correct lane for vehicle boarding.

By following this simple guide, ferry check-in and boarding will be easy and stress-free. Trust Ferriesonline.com to compare and select the best offers, and prepare for your journey with confidence. Have a great trip!
