Route guide

Plan your ferry from Cagliari to Naples

The Cagliari to Naples crossing connects Cagliari and Naples in Italy.

For a departure from Cagliari, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Cagliari is Sardinia’s southern transport hub and gives easy road access to the south coast, Oristano and the island interior.

On the other side of the crossing, Naples is your arrival port. Naples has metro, suburban rail, buses and national rail links, while many central sights and ferry areas are within a compact core.

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

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Cagliari to Naples 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.
