How much luggage can I take on a ferry?

Each ferry company has its own baggage policy, so it’s important to check their specific rules to avoid extra charges. Typically, passengers are allowed one large piece of luggage per person. Most European routes have a weight limit of 20 kg, while some routes in Greece and Northern Europe allow up to 50 kg. In Italy, the limit is lower, ranging from 9 to 10 kg.

For extra luggage or sports equipment, cargo services at boarding may be an option. High-speed ferries may have different luggage policies, so it’s best to confirm with the operator before traveling. Ferry companies are not responsible for lost or stolen luggage. If you have a deck-lounge ticket, your luggage may not have a designated storage area, so it’s advisable to keep it with you and avoid leaving it unattended.
