Route guide

Plan your ferry from Olbia to Genoa

The Olbia to Genoa crossing connects Olbia and Genoa in Italy.

For a departure from Olbia, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Olbia is Sardinia’s principal north-eastern ferry gateway. The Isola Bianca terminal links directly with roads towards Costa Smeralda, Palau, San Teodoro and the wider Gallura region.

On the other side of the crossing, Genoa is your arrival port. Genoa’s historic core is best explored on foot, while rail and local transport connect coastal districts and the wider Ligurian Riviera.

Compare the Olbia departure and Genoa arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Olbia to Genoa result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Genoa may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
