Ferry Genoa → Olbia 🇮🇹🇮🇹
The Genoa to Olbia ferry is the classic northern gateway to Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda. Operated by GNV (Grandi Navi Veloci) and Moby Lines, the overnight crossing takes around 10 to 11 hours and runs daily through the summer season. Each ship carries cars, motorbikes and motorhomes alongside foot passengers, so you can bring your own vehicle and explore the island freely once you land in north-eastern Sardinia. Cabins are available on board and strongly recommended for this overnight sailing, letting you sleep in comfort and arrive fresh. Fares start from around €39 per person, with cabins and vehicle space charged separately. Because Sardinia routes fill up fast, it pays to book early in summer.
