Cabins

The ferries operating on the route from Bari to Corfu offer several types of cabins, so you can enjoy a comfortable trip. Since this ferry journey is long, we recommend traveling between Bari and Corfu in a bed cabin. It's best to book a few months in advance, as cabins sell out fast.

Alternatively, you can book numbered seats.
