Before you land

The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    This is a separate service from Trenitalia's own Bluferries train-ferry, which runs Messina to Villa San Giovanni (not Reggio Calabria) and carries whole Intercity trains. Liberty Lines is a passenger-only hydrofoil between the two city centres.

  • Hours

    Liberty Lines runs 16 crossings a day each way on weekdays (32 total), fewer at weekends (6 each way), plus one late run every day of the week at 23:00 from Messina and 23:40 from Reggio Calabria.

  • Fixed fare

    A single crossing starts from about 4 euro, with a round trip from about 7 euro - among the cheapest ways to cross the Strait of Messina without a car.
