As springtime loom on the horizon, it’s hard to shake the thought of a well-deserved Sicily weekender – after all, very few things are better than April in Italy with family and good food…

Before going ahead and booking your accommodation, however, it might be best to figure how you’re getting there, as you really don’t want to start your break off on the wrong foot.

If you ask us, this one’s a no-brainer. From super affordable prices to state-of-the-art vessels, Virtu Ferries is the way to commute from Malta to Sicily (and back). Need some convincing? Worry not, here are four reasons why travelling with this catamaran company’s a no-brainer:

1. Virtu offers excellent value for money

If your Sicily trip’s scheduled to take place anytime before April, you’re in luck. During this period, Virtu Ferries is offering its customers some jaw-dropping discounts, with return fares starting from €41 per person and €110 per car for day trips.

The best part is, there are plenty of places to spend the money you saved by travelling with Virtu Ferries – we’re talking Centro Sicilia, Primark, and the Sicilia Outlet Village, to mention a few.

2. Its vessels are state-of-the-art

Whichever vessel you’re travelling on, you can always count on Virtu Ferries for a quick, comfortable, and smooth ride.

Built in 2018, the company’s M/V Saint John Paul II offers passengers six luxury lounges with a design based on 28 years of surveyed passenger feedback. This vessel carries a whopping 900 passengers and 167 vehicles, so you can rest assured that space will virtually never be a problem with Virtu Ferries.

3. Virtu’s schedule is super convenient

The number one thing that’s bound to put any traveller’s mind at rest is a good dose of flexibility – and with its frequent voyages and convenient timings, you can rest assured that Virtu Ferries has got enough varied trips to fit anyone’s busy schedule!

Gone are the days of planning a holiday around your travel times…

4. It gets you to your destination in no time

Once you’re on holiday, you really don’t want to be wasting your time in between countries, that’s why Virtu Ferries will do all it takes to get you to your destination ASAP.

With its vessels reaching speeds of 38 knots, Virtu will take you from Malta to Sicily in around 90 minutes – that’s barely enough time to watch a film!
