Exploring Catania and the Sicilian wonders at this ancient port city just got easier thanks to the new ferry service running between Valletta and Augusta.

Operated by Ponte Ferries, this vibrant ship will transport you directly to Augusta. A short ride along the coast of Sicily and you’ll be chilling on a Catania beach in no time. 

As they say, the journey is as important as the destination and Ponte Ferries offers multiple seating options to make your journey a personalised experience based on your needs and preferences.

Foot Passengers

Foot passengers can choose from a variety of seating options for their trip, with seat upgrades starting from €15 per way. Toddlers under the age of 3 go free!

Those needing a little more leg room to really relax can opt for Ponte Plus. If fully reclining seats and a private screen sound like your preferred comfort zone then Ponte Premium seats have you covered.

Finally, Ponte Exclusive gives you access to one of two private rooms fully equipped with a mini bar, entertainment and the cream of the crop in seating comfort.

Even if you’re travelling by bike or motorcycle, Ponte Ferries will make sure to keep your belongings safe and your gear secure. Simply, make sure you let Ponte know during booking that you will be travelling with your equipment.

Ponte Pets

If you’re travelling with a furry friend then fret not as they don’t need to be stuck in a cage for the duration of this trip. Simply tick the ‘travel with pet’ box during the booking process, and upon boarding the Ponte team will escort you to the dedicated pet area on board. Pet cages are also available on the outdoor deck where you are free to visit them at any time.

Commercial Vehicles

Ponte knows how many truckers, trailer drivers and coaches travel from Malta to Sicily and they are offering a special package for their commercial passengers. Truckers can make use of a separate area on the ferry where they have drinks, sandwiches, super comfy chairs and a warm shower waiting for them.  

Always wanted to drive around Sicily? You can go up to Catania with your very own wheels and discover this beautiful island at your own pace. All you need to do is add on your vehicle when booking your tickets and that’s it. 

Head on over to the MFCC Malta Trade Fair and see what exclusive offers Ponte Ferries have going on at stand 31. Ready to welcome you, they’ll be there every day between 6pm and 11.30pm.
