Vessel Description

DON FRANCESCO is an Italian-flagged passenger ferry built in 2001 by Cantiere Navale Vittoria in Adria, Italy. The vessel operates as part of the Caremar fleet, which provides essential public maritime transport services linking Naples with the inhabited islands of the Gulf of Naples. The vessel is designed for short-to-medium distance coastal passenger operations in sheltered and semi-sheltered Mediterranean waters, and is configured to carry passengers on scheduled inter-island routes. As a product of Cantiere Navale Vittoria, a well-established Italian shipyard known for constructing passenger and ferry vessels, the ship reflects the design standards typical of early 2000s Italian coastal ferry construction.
