Check the return to Civitavecchia with every passenger, the vehicle and accommodation. For the early-morning departure, budget separately for transport to the port if you have no car.

Cars, motorcycles and campers

Check the actual car or camper dimensions with luggage after your Sardinia stay. To report by 00:00, plan the drive to Arbatax during the previous evening and follow port signs.

Cabins and rest on board

After boarding past midnight, a cabin can provide rest before your onward journey in Italy. Check bed capacity, private use and availability for the selected sailing.

With a pet

For the return from Arbatax, arrange pet accommodation when booking. Cabin access with Grimaldi requires Pet in Cabin; a passenger cabin reservation alone is not sufficient.

Fast check-in and reporting time

For Grimaldi fast check-in, report at the ship at Banchina di Levante. For departure at 02:00, report by 00:00 with a vehicle or 01:00 without one. For example, a Tuesday 02:00 sailing means arriving during Monday night into Tuesday, not Tuesday evening.
