Read Authentic Ratings for the Gnv-Allegra

On May 13, 2026, the 'GNV Allegra', a floating hotel that has been providing shelter for workers involved in cruise ship refurbishment projects in Marseille, faced detention by Maritime Affairs authorities. As a result, the 650 workers and technicians residing on the vessel were required to disembark. They have since been relocated to the 'Méditerranée', a ship operated by Corsica Linea, ensuring their accommodation needs continue to be met during this transition.

On August 20, 2022, at 11:15 AM, the ferry 'GNV Allegra' sought urgent medical assistance for one of its passengers. The vessel, which had set sail from Genoa headed for Porto Torres, altered its course approximately 20 miles offshore after the passenger exhibited symptoms indicative of a heart attack. In response, the patrol boat 'Cp 311' was deployed to the scene, equipped with medical personnel, who managed to reach the ferry approximately seven nautical miles from the Port of Genoa. After analyzing the passenger’s medical situation, it was determined that a helicopter medevac was necessary. By 1:10 PM, the individual was successfully hoisted from the ferry and swiftly transported to San Martino hospital for further treatment.

On November 2, 2023, at 11:20 AM, the GNV Allegra arrived at the Porto Empedocle dock, successfully disembarking 70 Tunisian migrants. These individuals had completed a thorough anti-Covid health surveillance process onboard the ship. Following their disembarkation, the migrants were promptly loaded onto buses and transported to various reception centers for further assistance and care.

A heartbreaking incident occurred involving a 15-year-old unaccompanied migrant from the Ivory Coast, who tragically lost his life after being quarantined aboard the ferry 'GNV Allegra'. The young boy passed away on October 6 in a Palermo hospital following a harrowing 11-day ordeal. Reports indicate that he was in a dire state of health, exhibiting signs of severe mistreatment prior to his quarantine. His journey across the Mediterranean was fraught with suffering; prior to his transfer to 'GNV Allegra' on September 18, he spent 11 difficult days on the rescue ship 'Open Arms'. Sadly, on September 29, the situation took a turn for the worse, prompting a medevac that led to him falling into a coma just four days later. This tragic loss highlights the urgent need for attention to the conditions faced by migrants in transit.
