Seasonality and sailing times

Grimaldi Lines has announced its Civitavecchia to Olbia season for 1 June to 30 September 2027. Check departure and arrival times, crossing duration and availability for your selected date before booking your stay in Sardinia. Outside this period, check which operators and sailings are available for your travel date.

Fares and booking

For a fare to Olbia, include every passenger, the vehicle and desired accommodation. Compare the total and fare conditions; if returning, check that date too.

With a car or camper

Enter the actual car or camper dimensions, including roof-mounted luggage and any trailer. Follow the vehicle-entry instructions for Civitavecchia and prepare what you need on board before boarding.

Cabins and places to rest

Choose accommodation around the sailing time and number of passengers. Check cabin capacity, private use and included facilities. Types and available spaces depend on the particular ship.

Pets on board

Add your pet when booking to Olbia and check permitted accommodation. For cabin access, explicitly select the permitted service; booking a passenger cabin alone is not enough.

Fast check-in and reporting
