Route guide

A direct Riviera–Sardinia link when the timetable matches your dates

Corsica Ferries publishes Nice–Porto Torres among its current Sardinia routes. It is not the type of route to assume runs every day, so travellers should check the calendar before committing to a fixed itinerary.

Nice can be a convenient mainland departure for travellers from the Côte d’Azur, Monaco, Liguria and south-east France.

Porto Torres is an excellent gateway for northern and western Sardinia, particularly Sassari, Stintino and Alghero.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Nice 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.

Planning the wider journey in Italy

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Nice 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.
