10% early booking offer appears to exclude vehicles over 6m long and 2m high which pretty much excludes all motorhomes. As far as I can see it should apply to passenger fares though.
Ancona – Greece route is now shared with Superfast. Camping on deck only available from Apr – Oct as usual.
Venice – Greece route, no camping on deck but a 'Camper Special' is offered all year round which includes electric hookup on deck and an inside cabin all for the price of deck passage. You cannot visit the m/h during the crossing.
10% early booking offer if booked by 29 Feb , can't find any exclusions relating to motorhomes like Anek/Superfast but might be that I just haven't seen it yet...
Ancona – Greece route, No Camping on deck but 'All In Camping' is offered from Apr – Oct which includes electric hookup on deck for the van and an inside cabin for the price of deck passage. They also offer a free meal token for each passenger in that price which slightly betters the Anek lines offer. According to Magbaz website they have succesfully booked this option by phone outside these dates but is not advertised online outside Apr - Oct. Available on Cruise Europa and Cruise Olympia only.
I've done a few quick quotes and its the usual confusion on their websites, the early booking bargains from previous years seem to have gone and prices seem to be up from last year, no surprise there then.
*As always, don't take my word for it and check all these details for yourself before comitting to a booking and please do post here if i've made any mistakes (likely) or you spot a bargain*
I would add that we travelled via Minoan in late November '11 and the 'Camper Special' was still valid with a hookup socket provided, a cabin and 'meal voucher'. The girl on the desk said this was now offered all year round.
Price was £200 for a single or £300 for a return for our 6m van and there was no need to book in advance, we just turned up at Patras and arrived at Ancona 23hrs later.
This was cheaper then the price the website produced sat in the ticket lobby!
If you get friendly with the lady at the check in desk you might get hold of a Truckers 50% discount card off all food/drink which needs to be returned before you depart.
Just one query: Planning on going July-August, open deck from Ancona to Igoumenitsa. I'm assuming you can get off the open deck at Igoumenitsa despite the blurb saying open deck only available on 'Ancona-Patra route'.
What do you think?
Cheers
Harry

Hi Harry,
We got off at Igoumenitsa last time so I would think it would be the same. All the Patras ships stop at Igoumenitsa afaik.
The only downside is you'll be last on first off and probably won't get as good as spot on deck as those going the full route.
Ancona – Greece route, no 'Camping on deck' but 'All Inclusive Camping' is offered from Apr – Oct which includes electric hookup on deck for the van and an inside cabin for the price of deck passage.

Their website has now been changed and 'All inclusive Camping' is now offered online all year except 15/6 - 14/8 Italy > Greece and 15/8 - 15/9 Greece > Italy....
