Check-in & departure from the port of Livorno
The starting point for the trip to Olbia is Livorno in Italy. The Ferries of Grimaldi Lines and Moby Lines sail up to four times a day. Check-in is possible up to 2 hours before departure. Make sure you are at the port in good time so that you can check in without any problems. The journey starts on time and takes you across the Tyrrhenian Sea to Sardinia.
On board the Ferry
During the crossing, which takes between 7 hours and 30 minutes and 9 hours, you can enjoy a variety of amenities aboard the modern Ferries. There are comfortable seats, dining options, and entertainment. Take advantage of the time to relax and enjoy the view of the sea. For overnight trips, you can book one of the comfortable cabins.
Arrival in Olbia
Your destination port is Olbia on the island of Sardinia. Once there, you can explore the beauty of the island right away. Olbia offers you a mixture of historical sights and modern amenities. This is where your adventure begins on one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.
Moby Lines or Grimaldi Lines: Which Ferry is right for you?
You can travel between Livorno and Olbia with Moby Lines or Grimaldi Lines. Both companies operate year-round service between the Italian mainland and Sardinia. When making your choice, the departure time, your preferred accommodations, and the total price are the most important factors to consider.
| Comparison | Moby Lines | Grimaldi Lines |
|---|---|---|
| Ships on the Route | Moby Fantasy and Moby Legacy; changes to the ship schedule are possible. | Cruise Europa and Cruise Sardegna; changes to the ship schedule are possible. |
| Season | Year-round | Year-round |
| Day and Night Trips | Bookable depending on the day of travel and schedule | Bookable depending on the travel date and schedule |
| Trip Duration | You can find the duration of the selected departure in the schedule and in your booking. | You can find the duration of the selected trip in the schedule and in your booking. |

Here’s how to make your decision: First, choose a departure that you can reach with plenty of time to spare. Then compare the available accommodations and the final price. If you’re traveling with a dog, check for the right cabin option first. This may be more important to your decision than a small difference in price.
If you’re facing a long journey followed by an overnight trip, a cabin can be especially convenient. For a daytime crossing, however, you can decide whether a reserved seat is enough for you or if you’d prefer your own private space.
Day ferry or night ferry from Livorno to Olbia?
Whether a daytime crossing or a night ferry is a better fit for you depends on how you’re traveling to Livorno and your plans in Sardinia. So be sure to compare not only the departure times but also the arrival times and your onward travel plans.
When a same-day crossing Makes Sense
A day trip is ideal if you’re already staying near Livorno or can reach the port without a long drive. During the crossing, you can enjoy the view and make use of the facilities on board that are open.
Keep in mind when you’ll arrive at your accommodations after disembarking. If you’re arriving later, you should coordinate your arrival time with your hotel, campground, or vacation rental provider.
When Is a Night Ferry Worth It?
By traveling overnight, you’ll have time during the day to make your way to the port. If you book a cabin, you’ll have your own place to sleep on board and can rest before continuing your journey. How much time you’ll have to sleep depends on the departure and arrival times, as well as from when your cabin is ready.
Don’t schedule your connections too tightly after you arrive. Keep in mind that between arriving at the port and leaving it, you’ll still need to disembark. If your accommodations won’t be ready until the afternoon, it’s also a good idea to make plans for the time until check-in.
Livorno–Olbia ferry with a cabin, a seat, or deck passage
The type of accommodation affects how you spend your crossing. A cabin offers you your own private space, while a reserved seat guarantees you a fixed seat. A deck passage does not include either a cabin or a reserved seat.
| Accommodations | What to Expect | Important for your selection |
|---|---|---|
| Inside Cabin | Private room with sleeping accommodations, no windows | A good option if you mainly want to sleep and don’t mind not having a window. |
| Outside Cabin | Private room with sleeping accommodations and a window or porthole | This is a good option if you’d like to spend time in your cabin during the day as well. |
| Reserved Seat | Assigned seat in a shared seating area | You’ll have less privacy than in a cabin and won’t have your own private space. |
| Deck Passage | No private cabin and no reserved seat; stay in the common areas designated for that purpose | Grimaldi offers a simple travel option. Before booking, check to see if it meets your needs for rest. |
Moby’s cabins are equipped with a shower and toilet. A day cabin might be a good option if you’re traveling with small children or want to rest after a long trip.
Check the maximum occupancy and the layout of the beds for each cabin. A twin cabin does not automatically mean two beds side by side. If you’re traveling with a dog, you’ll also need to select the appropriate booking option offered by the cruise line.
Before completing your booking, check whether the amount shown represents the total trip price or just the accommodation surcharge.
From Livorno to Olbia by car, RV, or trailer
You can take your car, RV, or trailer on the Ferry to Olbia. When booking, please select the appropriate vehicle category and provide the actual exterior dimensions of your vehicle, including all attachments.
- Roof Box and Roof Luggage: Take into account the total height of the vehicle with the roof box or roof rack installed and loaded.
- Rear bike rack: Measure the total length, including the rack and the bikes being transported.
- RV: Specify the actual length and height, including any permanently mounted accessories.
- RV or trailer: Enter the towing vehicle and trailer information according to the fields in the booking form. The drawbar is included in the trailer length.
If your vehicle changes or you add a trailer after booking, be sure to have your booking information updated accordingly before departure. Otherwise, you may be required to pay additional fees or encounter problems during boarding.
What You Should Take With You From the Vehicle
Before boarding, pack a separate bag with everything you’ll need during the crossing. This includes medication, valuables, charging cables, clothes for the night, and, if applicable, items for children or pets.
Do not plan to access the vehicle while it is in motion. After you have parked your vehicle, leave the garage deck and remain in the passenger areas. Follow the crew’s instructions when parking and when disembarking later.
Traveling with a Dog on the Livorno–Olbia Ferry
Moby Lines and Grimaldi Lines allow you to bring your dog along. Be sure to mention your dog when booking and select an appropriate accommodation option. Simply booking a standard cabin is not enough to bring your dog into the cabin with you.
Traveling with a Dog on Moby Lines
If your dog is traveling with you in a cabin, you must book a designated pet cabin. These are available in limited quantities. You are not automatically permitted to use a regular cabin with your dog.
The outdoor decks are open to guests with dogs. However, bars, restaurants, and areas with lounge chairs are off-limits to pets. Keep your dog on a leash and bring a muzzle.
Traveling with a Dog on Grimaldi Lines
With Grimaldi, you can add the“Pet in Cabin”service to your cabin reservation. This allows your dog to stay with you in your booked cabin for the entire trip. Also, make sure you have all the required pet documents. In particular, proof of proper antiparasitic treatment is required for cabin access.
Always keep your dog on a leash when outside its kennel. Have a muzzle ready and follow the applicable guidelines and the crew’s instructions. Permission to enter the cabin does not grant unrestricted access to all interior areas.
Preparing for the crossing
Bring water, a bowl, enough food, poop bags, and a blanket the animal is familiar with. Well before departure, check the pet travel documents for your entire trip to Italy and the requirements of the shipping line you booked.
Check-in and boarding in Livorno
Before you arrive, check which shipping company you’ll be traveling with and which boarding area you need to go to. There are several terminals in the Port of Livorno. General navigation to the port is therefore not sufficient.
When do I need to be at check-in?
| Shipping Company | With Vehicle | Without a vehicle |
|---|---|---|
| Moby Lines | No later than 90 minutes before departure | June 1 through September 30: at least 60 minutes in advance; October 1 through May 31: at least 30 minutes in advance |
| Grimaldi Lines | No later than 120 minutes before departure | No later than 60 minutes before departure |
These deadlines apply to check-in, not to your arrival anywhere in the city. Allow extra time for traffic and to find your way around the port. Please note any different instructions on your ticket or in the shipping company’s latest announcements.
Finding the Right Boarding Area
If you want to travel with Moby, follow the signs to the Stazione Marittima, Via Guido Donegani, and Moby. Grimaldi uses the Darsena Toscana area, which can be reached via Viale Mogadiscio. Check your shipping line’s current travel information before departure.
If you’re traveling with Grimaldi without a car, please note that access to Darsena Toscana is not permitted for pedestrians or bicycles. Therefore, please plan for an appropriate transfer. A shuttle service is available between the Livorno train station and the Grimaldi departure area. Check the shuttle’s schedule and booking options to ensure they align with your Ferry departure.
Here’s how boarding works from the time you arrive at the port
Have your ticket and the required travel documents ready. For both cruise lines on this route, check-in takes place directly in the boarding area in front of the ship. Once there, follow the lanes and the instructions of the port staff.
Once you’ve been cleared to board, drive onto the ship and park your vehicle in the assigned spot. Bring your bag with you for the Ferry, and make a mental note of the garage deck and the staircase you used.
Return trip by Ferry from Olbia to Livorno
For your return trip, select the Olbia–Livorno route in the schedule. Check the departure and arrival times for your actual return date. The times do not have to match those of your outbound trip.
When taking a night ferry, you should pay special attention to the arrival date. You’ll leave Sardinia in the evening and arrive on the mainland the following day. You can find the exact scheduled arrival time for your selected route.
Plan the rest of your trip from Livorno
After docking, be sure to allow time for disembarking and leaving the port. Therefore, do not book a connecting train or transfer immediately after the scheduled arrival time.
If you’re continuing your trip by car, plan your breaks based on the distance you have left to travel. An overnight drive can only replace a restful break if you were actually able to get enough sleep.
The scheduled time is not a real-time arrival time. On the day of your trip, be sure to check for any announcements from your cruise line regarding changes or delays.
Livorno–Olbia or Livorno–Golfo Aranci?
If you’re looking for a Ferry from Livorno to Sardinia, it’s also worth checking out the Livorno–Golfo Aranci route. This route is operated by Corsica Ferries and arrives at a different port than the Moby Lines and Grimaldi Lines Ferries to Olbia.
Compare the two routes using your full vacation address as the destination. In addition to the ticket price, the departure time, available accommodations, and onward travel from each port are key factors.
- Olbia: Compare the available departures from Moby Lines and Grimaldi Lines.
- Golfo Aranci: Check out the option with Corsica Ferries if their schedule or total price better suits your trip.
- By car: Take into account the additional distance between the port of arrival and your accommodations.
- If you don’t have a vehicle: Check for suitable connecting transportation or a transfer before booking the Ferry.
When booking, be sure to check the port of destination. A ticket to Golfo Aranci does not include a crossing to Olbia. This also applies to your return trip and to any pickup service you may have arranged.

Can I travel from Livorno to Olbia on an overnight ferry?
Yes, depending on your travel date, you can book an overnight crossing. Compare the available departures and also note the arrival time the following day.

First, compare the departure times and available accommodations for your travel date. Then, compare the total price for the same number of passengers and the same vehicle dimensions.

Is it worth it for me to get a cabin on the overnight ferry?
A cabin is especially useful if you want to sleep and still have a long drive ahead of you after you arrive. You’ll have your own private space and a bed. Compare the extra cost to that of a recliner, taking into account your need for rest as well as the needs of your fellow travelers.
Can I use a cabin even on a day trip?
Yes, depending on your departure time and availability, you can also book a cabin during the day. This can be convenient if you want to sleep after a long trip or if you’re traveling with small children. Select the cabin directly when booking your daytime departure and check the hours of operation on board.
What does a deck passage on Grimaldi Lines mean for me?
With a deck passage, you do not book your own cabin or a reserved seat. You can spend time in the designated common areas. This does not mean you have to spend the entire trip outdoors. If you want a reserved seat or a bed, book the appropriate accommodation as well.
How do I book a car with a roof box or bike rack?
Enter the actual total height and total length, including any attached accessories. A roof rack affects the height, and a loaded rear rack affects the length. Therefore, do not rely solely on the vehicle dimensions listed in the vehicle registration certificate. If the vehicle’s equipment changes after booking, have the information updated in a timely manner.
Can I still get something out of my car during the crossing?
Don’t count on it, because the vehicle decks are off-limits to passengers during the crossing. Take any medications, valuables, and everything you’ll need for the night or the day trip with you before you leave the garage. This also applies to items your children or pet might need.
Can I spend the night in my RV while I'm driving?
No, on this route, you should book your sleeping arrangements in the passenger areas. Your RV will be parked on the vehicle deck, which is closed during the crossing. Choose a cabin or another available accommodation option for the night.
How do I find the right pier for my Ferry in Livorno?
Follow the instructions provided by the shipping line you booked with and the travel information included with your ticket. Moby and Grimaldi use different boarding areas. Therefore, check your specific destination before your trip and follow the signs for your shipping line at the port.
How do I get to the Grimaldi Ferry in Livorno without a car?
Plan a transfer to the Darsena Toscana boarding area. The access road is not open to pedestrians or bicycles. Grimaldi offers a shuttle between the Livorno train station and the departure area. Check in advance to see if the shuttle schedule aligns with your Ferry departure time and how to book the transfer.
When will I arrive on the Olbia–Livorno Ferry?
The scheduled arrival time depends on your chosen departure time. Select the Olbia–Livorno route and your travel date in the schedule. For overnight crossings, arrival is usually the following day. Be aware of possible changes and allow time for disembarking after the ship docks.
Can I book a train or transfer right after I arrive?
Make sure to allow enough time between the scheduled arrival of the ship and your connection. You’ll first need to disembark and make your way to the train station or meeting point. How long this takes depends on the disembarkation process, your luggage, and the transfer option you’ve chosen. You should also factor in the possibility of a Ferry delay.
When is the Ferry to Golfo Aranci a good option for me?
The Livorno–Golfo Aranci route might be a good option if its departure time, accommodations, or total price are more convenient for you. Also, compare the onward travel to your vacation destination. If you don’t have a car, you should check how to get from the respective port to your accommodations before booking.
