Genoa port parking
The car park Ponte dei Mille offers at the Genoa cruise port the following parking service:
The employees of the garage (recognizable by the T-shirts with the imprint "Ponte dei Mille") are already waiting for you in the driveway area.
If your cruise ship departs from the Ponte Andrea Doria port dock, the car drop-off takes place on the bridge, in front of the (difficult to find) small blue sign "MSC Crociere - GARAGE" and the yellow line.
After the baggage claim, drive back about 100 m onto the bridge and keep left within the yellow line.
You show your Genoa Port parking reservation and hand over the car keys.
Your car will be parked for you and you can walk relaxed to the cruise ship check-in.
