numerous Italian ports.

Travel trends by age group

Generational differences also influenced Easter travel trends, Ferryhopper’s data showed. Gen Z favored the islands of Capri, Ischia and Elba, driven by a potential inclination to explore multiple destinations. The fast and frequent ferry services in the Gulf of Naples and the Tuscan islands are often the perfect solution for travelers wanting to add more than one stop to their trip.

Millennials showed an overwhelming preference for Sardinia, Sicily and Corsica as they probably continue to seek both cultural experiences and leisure time in their adventures. For Gen Xers and beyond, vacations often revolve around reliable travel arrangements, comfort and family time. So it’s no surprise that they mostly chose islands like Sicily, Sardinia and Elba, which are known for offering a broad range of accommodation options and activities for all ages.

Overall, Ferryhopper has seen a growing interest from travelers worldwide in both the most visited and lesser-known Mediterranean islands as they turn to ferries to avoid airport waiting times, to travel in a more eco-friendly way and enjoy a more flexible travel experience.
