I have now managed to get a price (Ancona to Igoumenitsa camping on board) of 357 euros for van up to 6m, or 507 euros up to 8m... we are just under 7m with bikes... how fussy are they at Superfast? Anyone ever been (or seen anyone) measured?
I did email Viamare a couple of days ago... if they don't reply I will give them a call.
I have a price from Anek website of 331 euros for 6m van and 2 people from Venice to Igoumenitsa return, which seems great BUT I can't find anywhere if that includes camping on board ! Also, it says up to 3m max height and we are about 3.1m... is this true ?
Could be wrong but it looks like there is no camping on board on the Venice route anymore, but they do a 'camper special' on the Venice route where you get a cabin for the price of deck passage.
Camping on board still available on the Ancona route though.
The Venice route didn't have a camper deck the last time I crossed but it did carry trucks a lot higher than 3 metres.
It was also mayhem when we arrived in Igoumenitsa because they load the Igoumenitsa vehicles first, followed by the Corfu batch and Patras last. somebody had cocked up at Venice and cars were unable to get off at Igmenitsa and ended up carrying on to Corfu and getting the next ferry back to Igoumenitsa later that day - utter chaos but great theatre!
In response to your question about height- we're 3.05 metres and never had any trouble as lorries go on the same deck. I've never seen anyone measuring campervans/ motorhomes etc and I used to get really anxious about length- should I measure with bikes/ without bikes etc but in reality no-one bothers. The Ancona check in seems much easier now there is a separate place to get your tickets checked- just follow the signs to check in round the roundabout. You park up, go in and find the relevant desk, give them your confirmation email and they issue with a camping on board sign and card for getting back to the camping deck if you're with Superfast. You then go out of that area following signs to boats and someone there will stop you and tell you which lane to go in. It's best to go quite early, if for nothing else but to watch the boat come in and unload! Treat it as part of the adventure and don't get stressed......When you get directed on board, watch the chaps for directions to where they want you to park. Sometimes they forget your door is not on the same side as European vans and you might need to ask them to move you forwards or backwards so you can open your door. if next door's van door is close. Depending on the staff, someone will either give you an electric cable to hook up or you have to get it yourself- usually the first on Superfast we've found. Get plugged in, switch your fridge on and have a wander round the ship to watch the rest of the loading- it's amazing, really! Superfast ferries have nice air conditioned places to sit, have coofee or drinks, or something to eat though the shop always looks a bit like a jumble sale......
You'll have a great time I'm sure. if you haven't seen the website before go to www.magbaztravels.com for loads of information
Off topic but maybe relevant - I watched the port officers measure the height of outfits at Bilbao - vehicles were moved to other lanes and wallets were being emptied
