Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about the Sardinia ferry timetable.
How up to date is this timetable?+
The departures above come directly from the operators' data and are updated daily. Short-notice changes due to weather or technical issues still reach the operator first, so check your booking confirmation again on the day of travel.
Why do crossing times differ on the same route?+
Because different ships are used. On several Sardinia routes, two or three operators share the route, and their ships take different amounts of time. Overnight sailings are also often deliberately stretched out so arrival falls in the morning rather than in the middle of the night.
Do the ferries run in winter too?+
The main routes from Genoa, Livorno and Civitavecchia run year-round, though less frequently in winter. The routes from Nice, Barcelona and Piombino, by contrast, are highly seasonal, so it's worth checking the timetable above before planning your journey there.
When should I book?+
As soon as your travel date is set, especially with a vehicle. On all Sardinia routes, vehicle spaces sell out noticeably earlier than passenger spaces during the summer holidays, so anyone planning to bring a motorhome should book months ahead.
