The goal of the company is for the passengers to feel that their holidays start at the embarkation.
During the summer season, when the tourist traffic increases, Grimaldi Lines connects the ports of Igoumenitsa, Corfu and Patras with those of Venice and Ancona on a daily basis.
It was a nightmare! The boat stopped in the middle of the see (between Ancona to "Corfu" Igoumenitsa) for almost 5 hours, with no electricity for the toilet who over flooded after one hour, it's was crazy disgusting!!! The line at the restaurant took 45min for really bad quality... Over crowded with a group of 500 young Italians (summer camp) who installed a sound system on the deck until 2 in the night when the boat totally shut down...
No calm spaces, dirty and in really bad condition ! And finally they cancel our stop in Corfu as the boat was so late... We had to go at igoumenitsa and take an other boat to Corfu, unbelievable! No excuses from the captain... The crew tried their best, but with such bad conditions they cannot do nothing...I really really regret to have chose this company and will never again travel with them, as i also advise to anyone to avoid it hardly!
I traveled from Ancona to Igoumenitsa.
The ferry was extremely full (at least 300 passengers) and there were only public 10-15 toilets. In addition they were extremely dirty. The floor and all public places were extremely dirty as well, the temperature of the air conditioning was too low and it was very loud.
The queue for the self-service restaurant was very long. Moreover the food choice was low and the food quality very poor. The prices were too high. All in all I will not take this ferry anymore. I already canceled the return tickets.
I payed 500€ for a outside cabin for me, my partner and two dogs. I payed extra for the dogs and on the ticket it said we will get some goodies for the dogs, a blanket and stuff. Nothing. We booked a cabin with a double bet and got bunk beds. Really bad for such a high prize. Next time i will sleep in ma caravan.
Me and my famiy we travelled to Brindisi with Grimaldi Lines with our camper is the best way to travel to Brindisi the ferry was very big and comfortable the food was very nice and the cabins very clean
