The Grimaldi Group has always paid great attention to the protection of the health of its passengers and crews. For this reason, since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Neapolitan company has implemented and constantly updated specific health protocols on all its ro-pax vessels, in compliance with current regulations.

In parallel, the Group has worked hard to ensure that the personnel on board its ships receive the anti-Covid vaccine as soon as possible. Thanks to these efforts and to the sensitivity and cooperation of local and national authorities, today about 90% of seafarers employed on Grimaldi Lines ships have received at least the first dose of vaccine. This share is expected to reach 100% by the end of July – an eagerly awaited and significant milestone, as it is indicative of an even safer journey for both crews and passengers.

"There is no possible recovery without safety, and a rapid, widespread and effective vaccination campaign is the only way to finally leave the pandemic behind us," said the Neapolitan groupManaging Director Emanuele Grimaldi. "With our Covid-free vessels, we are doing our part in responsibly supporting the revival of tourism and the economy in general".

Currently, ro-pax vessels with the Grimaldi Lines livery serve the mainland Italy-Sardinia, mainland Italy-Sicily, Italy-Greece, Italy-Spain and Italy-Tunisia maritime links.
