Scheduled to set sail in September, the exact launch date remains a mystery as operators await the final go-ahead from Sicilian authorities, according to the Times of Malta.

Ragusa Xpress offers a fresh twist to your Sicilian escapades. While Virtu Ferries has been your trusty steed to Pozzallo, this new ferry will be taking you directly to Ragusa, a city famed for its stunning Baroque architecture and lively cultural vibes. This route opens up fresh opportunities for exploring the unique charms of Sicily.

The ferry boasts a capacity of around 400 passengers and space for 21 cars, making it a top choice for both tourists and locals eager for a seamless journey across the waves.

In addition to Ragusa Xpress, Virtu Ferries also provides a reliable option, running two trips a day between Malta and Pozzallo in southern Sicily. These larger vessels can carry twice as many passengers, more cars, and commercial vehicles up to 19 metres in length.
