Route guide

Plan your ferry from Barcelona to Porto Torres

The Barcelona to Porto Torres crossing links Barcelona in Spain with Porto Torres in Italy.

For a departure from Barcelona, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Barcelona’s Grimaldi terminal connects directly with the city road network and onward travel across Catalonia and Spain.

On the other side of the crossing, Porto Torres is your arrival port. Porto Torres itself is compact, while local rail, buses and road links connect with Sassari, Alghero and the wider north-west of Sardinia.

Compare the Barcelona departure and Porto Torres arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Barcelona to Porto Torres 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 Porto Torres may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Barcelona before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Barcelona to Porto Torres fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
