The Genoa to Porto Torres (Sardinia) ferry
The Genoa to Porto Torres route is the classic northern gateway to Sardinia, connecting the great Ligurian port with the island's north-western coast. As a long crossing of roughly ten to eleven hours, it is almost always taken overnight, letting you board in the evening, settle into a cabin and wake to the rugged Sardinian shoreline. Porto Torres is well placed for exploring the historic city of Sassari, the cliffs and beaches of the Asinara coast, and the surf-washed north-west, all best discovered with your own car aboard. Modern ferries offer cabins, restaurants, bars and deck space for the long Tyrrhenian passage. For travellers from northern Italy, France or beyond, Genoa is the most convenient departure point, sparing the long drive south to central Italian ports. Sailings run year-round but fill quickly in the summer holidays, so booking a cabin well ahead is strongly recommended.
