Grimaldi Freighter

For years there has been a direct cargo ship connection between italy and israel. the journey time from italy to haifa on the "euro adriatic" route with the italian shipping company grimaldi is normally six days, to ashdod it is usually seven days. On the freighters we offer a small number of places for passenger cars and motorhomes including passenger transportation. in israel you can rent cars cheaply (from germany), but if it is for a longer period or you want to travel the country with a motorhome, you may consider taking your own car. At the latest, crossing the border into another country would be illegal with an israeli rental car. And those who travel by motorhome, of course, do not want to miss their familiar surroundings, apart from the costs of overnight stays in hotels or other accommodations that can be saved.

The journey to italy by car is easy: you can reach monfalcone, the italian port city in the north of the country in the immediate border area with slovenia, quite comfortably from germany via austria. there your car will be loaded onto the freighter and you will move into your cabin on board, including meals. The cargo ships usually operate on a weekly basis.

For a single crossing the passenger pays 575 euro per person in a double cabin, as a single traveler 885 euro, animals are not allowed at all. The passenger cabins are equipped with a shower and toilet, double bunk beds and a small sitting area. All in all, the comfort should differ significantly from that on a cruise ship. In addition, the vehicle: a car is charged with 460 euros, a motor home up to 8.60 meters in length with 715 euros, per motorcycle 180 euros, and if you travel with a bicycle, you can take it free of charge (prices as of 2020 – without guarantee)>>> timetable and prices grimaldi freighter voyage. Your booking should be made early, as a maximum of 12 passengers can be taken on board. It is important to note that when entering israel, you will be charged port fees of several hundred euros. This has already dampened the joy of many a traveler and left an unexpected hole in the vacation budget.

Another freighter voyage with grimaldi is offered on the "euro med" line, which runs from salerno to ashdod and back for a duration of six days. However, it is not possible to take a vehicle on this trip! The price range from simple accommodation to an owner’s cabin is from 395 to 1.175 euro:>>> schedule "euro med" grimaldi freighter voyage.

Car transport without passenger transportation

The alternative to transport by ship with your escort is to hand over the vehicle to a company that handles the transport by ship without your escort. From a central european port this costs about 700-1.200 euro for a normal car, larger vehicles like motorhomes will cost accordingly more. In this type of shipment, the vehicle is at sea for two weeks and is then unloaded at the port of destination. Again, as mentioned above, there are fees to be paid by the israeli authorities. If you wish to import a vehicle, you must comply with the relevant conditions of the state of israel.

Container ship voyage from hamburg

Various ship travel agents had offered trips on container ships through 2019, departing from hamburg and then sailing via le havre to haifa and ashdod. The sailing time is 14 resp. 18 days in one direction, however, unlike grimaldi, there is no regular schedule and also no taking of vehicles. The ships of the shipping company MSC are chartered as needed and then set sail. These are the container giants MSC carouge, MSC lausanne and MSC geneva. Therefore, before planning your trip, you must contact the hamburg travel agency for cargo ship travel (ATPI hamburg) and ask for the possible travel dates. the cost per person was around 1.800,- euro per direction, possibly. Plus costs of the port authority in israel when checking in to israel.

due to the corona pandemic, these trips are not currently offered. The shipping company MSC has announced that these container ship voyages will not be operated for guests for an indefinite period of time. The exclusive travel agency for trips to israel on MSC container liners is ATPI hamburg, where you can be placed on a waiting list or book, depending on the period you wish to travel .

Shipping of a car or mobile home is not possible directly on the container ships and would be done separately through the travel agency.
