You can book a ferry to Sicily from up to 15 different ports. The shortest crossing is from Villa San Giovanni. That is also the most economical option. However, for this ferry, you first have to drive all the way to the southernmost part of Italy; not everyone has the time for that.
The longest route to Sicily departs from Genova. This route is ideal for those who prefer the comfort of the ferry to the highways. The ferry costs are not too bad if you think of the petrol and accommodation costs you save with this crossing. The ferry sails at night.
There are also many options for those who want to hop on a ferry a bit further to the south in Italy. Departure is possible from Rome (Civitavecchia), Naples, and Salerno. Many ferries depart from these ports to both Palermo and Messina.
What we also find an exciting route for island holidays is the crossing between Sardinia and Sicily. That way, you can visit several islands within one holiday. Malta-Sicily is also possible.

The Malta-Sicily ferry is quite popular since you can combine two islands in one holiday. This crossing only takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. This makes the ferry also suitable for people who want to make a day trip. You can plan these yourself, but there are also ready-made tours available. You can find more information about this in our Malta to Sicily ferry guide.
Genoa-Sicily is the longest crossing to the island. The distance is 493 miles / 793 km and the ferry takes a bit over 20 hours to complete the route.
