About the Golfo Aranci – Livorno crossing
Corsica & Sardinia Ferries currently schedules two daily sailings connecting Golfo Aranci on the island of Sardinia with Livorno in Tuscany. The service operates every day of the week. The first ferry departs in the morning at 07:45, with a second sailing in the evening at 20:00. These scheduled departure times mean that planning well in advance is a practical necessity.
Timings and Durations
The daytime crossing is the faster of the two options, with a scheduled duration of 6 hours and 45 minutes. The overnight sailing is significantly slower, taking up to 10 hours to complete the journey across the Tyrrhenian Sea. This difference in duration is a key factor when deciding between the morning and evening departures.
From Livorno, other ferry services connect to Olbia in Sardinia and Bastia in Corsica. The port of Golfo Aranci also provides sailings to Piombino and Savona on the Italian mainland, as well as a route to Toulon in France. Booking is required for both the day and night sailings on this domestic Italian route.

About Livorno
Livorno is where mainland Italy loads its cars for the islands. Up to fifty-six sailings a week leave here for Sardinia, Corsica and beyond, from a terminal ten minutes from a Tuscan city most travellers drive straight past. The catch is the island people most often assume they can reach from here — and cannot.
