A journey that is not just a return home
A journey that is not just a return, but an experience that lingers The Sicily Express is much more than a train: it's a bridge between territories, memories, and emotions.
A special convoy designed especially for Sicilians who wish to return to their homeland, active during major holidays or long weekends, when the need for home, tradition, and warmth becomes stronger.
The journey transforms into a cultural and sensory experience: Sicilian traditions are celebrated onboard through tastings, stories, music, conviviality, and hospitality. Every environment is designed to offer comfort, elegance, and atmosphere.
After crossing the Strait of Messina, the Sicily Express branches into two sections: one direct to eastern Sicily, with destination Syracuse, and the other to western Sicily, arriving in Palermo.
The journey is not just a transfer, but an integral part of the experience: slow, authentic, shared. A different way to rediscover one's roots or to discover Sicily with new eyes, celebrating its identity in every kilometer traveled.
Hop aboard and let yourself be guided towards emotions that smell of home, celebration, and tradition.
