Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

There are plenty of accommodation options on the Splendid with 456 cabins, 27 suites and two specially adapted disabled rooms. All cabins come with air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, including a shower and hairdryer and the comfy beds will help you put your feet up, relax and maybe get some much needed sleep.

If you choose to stay in one of the spacious suites you will be able to take advantage of complimentary air conditioning, a television, radio and mini bar, as well as a large porthole for you to admire the sea views.

Onboard Food and Drink

You won’t be short of food and drinks options onboard the Toscana. The a la carte restaurant provides a range of local specialities and international flavours across all three courses and has an extensive selection of good wine. The self service area and snack bar give a more informal eating setting and if you fancy some traditional Italian style ice cream, you can visit the gelateria for a cold and tasty treat.

A shopping centre can be found on the Majestic where you can enjoy duty free shopping whilst on the move. You have the chance to purchase gifts and enjoy bargains on items such as perfumes, aftershaves, alcohol and other selected items.

Additional Onboard Facilities

If you and your colleagues need to have meetings on the move then you’re covered. This is thanks to the conference centre and meeting rooms onboard. The public Wi-Fi allows you to surf the web as well as the waves whilst with GNV. You’ll also find a chapel and library on the ferry.

  • "Good for the money, great views"

    A really cool way to travel and sightsee at the same time! Definitely worth it! Felt safe the whole time, comfy beds. Polite and informative staff. Yummy food for purchase, more facilities than I expected. Cabins were dated and kinda gross, but with only an hour between cruises I can imagine it would be difficult to clean more than just changing the sheets.

  • "From Palermo to Civitavecchia"

    Be aware that arrival at the docks is not easy. Firstly the sign postings for embarkation are nearly non existing. Departure for Civitavecchia is not on the list of departure destinations. We, as many others turned into the wrong gate. When we eventually arrived at the right gate entrance was refused until we had a valid ticket to show. WE had to return to the first gate, which was via nearly a kilometer of driving, back, find parking , walk nearly 600 metres to the ticket office return to the car, back to the second gate to be ushered in. After that the rest was easy. Nice boat, nice cabin lovely crossing. Arrival at Civitavecchia and disembarking was easy. It would be helpful if Direct Ferries warned passengers about embarking at Palermo. And why cannot a ticked be issued in advance, print out via computer. So much easier.

  • "Very Nice Ship"

    I was very impressed with the accommodations on the ship. The room we booked was very nice and clean with a bathroom with shower and towels. We did not eat aboard the ship. I was disappointed that the gift store was closed and also at least one of the bars. Maybe this was because we were travelling mid October.

  • "Short cut to Sicily"

    Our voyage on Splendid was a very pleasant experience and we would recommend this as an effective way of avoiding the long motorway journey South from Rome. Boarding was easy, just keep your eye on the signage as it is a busy quayside. On board the cabin was reasonably spacious. We used the restaurant in the evening, food was good. Our crossing (early May) was very quiet. Breakfast at self-service limited but met our needs. We would use this route again.

  • "Recommend it"

    We travelled on reserved seats, long journey but we were comfortable and without not too many problems. But I will keep open at least 1 of the cafè shops during the night, instead they all closed at night and open again in the morning at 6.30.

  • "GNV's ships ok, Direct Ferries's booking service ko!"

    Nothing to say about the transport service but it was disappointed.. About Direct Ferries instead gives you no service from the call centre. I booked a ticket for 3 persons + car Civitavecchia-Palermo with return (14/08-23/08). After we booked we realized that the return was on the 28/08. After so many times trying to contact the Customer Care by phone(payment call) by email, they let me change the date but they made me pay again. At the end, fortunately, I've got the refund. Next time for sure no more Direct Ferries. And to be honest I do not recommend it.

    Perfect journey... But the first to arrive is also the last one to landing, we waited an hour, instead the latecomers who don't care to take your advice to be in time can land before us.
