Pricing your trip

Compare the daytime crossing to Sardinia with the overnight option using the same passengers, vehicle and accommodation. Check the total and fare conditions. Include your preferred cabin when comparing an overnight departure.

Taking a vehicle

Search spaces for a car, motorcycle, van or camper on this route. Enter actual dimensions, including attachments where requested. With a vehicle on Grimaldi, report in the boarding area no later than 2 hours before departure.

Cabins and rest on board

For overnight travel to Olbia, choose a cabin with permitted capacity for every passenger. Grimaldi offers inside cabins with 2, 3 or 4 beds and a private bathroom depending on the ship. Check the specific types and availability when selecting a sailing.

Travelling with pets

Add your pet to the Olbia ticket. To keep it with you in a cabin, confirm Pet in Cabin together with suitable cabin accommodation. The service has limited availability; check operator documentation requirements before travelling.

Fast check-in and reporting time

Show your ticket directly to Grimaldi staff in Livorno’s boarding area. Report no later than 1 hour before departure without a vehicle or 2 hours with a vehicle. For the 10:00 sailing, this means by 09:00 or 08:00 respectively. Without a car, arrange transport to the terminal: the Darsena Toscana access road is not for pedestrians.
