Seasonality and sailing times
Grimaldi Lines has announced its Olbia to Civitavecchia season for 1 June to 30 September 2027.

Fares and booking
Price your return to Civitavecchia with the correct travelling party and vehicle. Review the total with your chosen accommodation and amendment options before payment.
With a car or camper
For departure from Isola Bianca, add the vehicle with the correct category and dimensions. On your return from holiday, check whether additional luggage changes the declared height or length.
Cabins and places to rest
Choose a place to rest with the crossing and any driving after arrival in Lazio in mind. Check cabins or seats for your date rather than relying on identical accommodation across ships.
Pets on board
For the return from Sardinia, confirm your pet’s accommodation alongside your own. Check availability and document requirements before arriving in Olbia.
Fast check-in and reporting
For Grimaldi fast check-in, show your ticket directly to staff at boarding. Report no later than 1 hour before departure without a vehicle or 2 hours with a vehicle. In Olbia, follow directions to Isola Bianca and your ship’s boarding area. Allow extra time for traffic and queues.
