On board the Porto Torres to Genoa ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage
The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

Things to do in Genoa after the ferry
Genoa is the great port of Liguria, with Europe's largest medieval centre, the aquarium and the Cinque Terre down the coast. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: the Aquarium of Genoa, Palazzo Ducale and Piazza De Ferrari, Via Garibaldi and the Rolli palaces, Cathedral of San Lorenzo and Boccadasse fishing village are all reachable from Genoa passenger terminal. For the first meal, try fritto misto di mare, trofie al pesto Genovese and focaccia genovese, soft and oily.
If you want the days in Genoa organised - a driver, a boat trip, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.
Best time to take the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa
April to October is warm and sunny with 25 to 30 °C in summer; the cruise season brings crowds to the Porto Antico and Via Garibaldi from spring to autumn; the Boat Show in September is busy; winters are mild with some rain, and sea storms can disrupt ferries and boat trips. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Porto Torres and Genoa, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.
Ferry or flight from Porto Torres to Genoa?
Ferry versus plane between Porto Torres and Genoa comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from Genoa to Porto Torres
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return ferry ticket from Genoa to Porto Torres booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much does the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa cost?
The cost of the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa depends on the ferry company, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Porto Torres to Genoa: how to pay less
Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:
- Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
When you send the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Porto Torres to Genoa ferry first, then the alternatives.
How to book ferry tickets from Porto Torres to Genoa with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a car and its length, a cabin, a pushchair, a pet, a connection on arrival - you tell us in the WhatsApp chat when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Porto Torres port and stay reachable during the crossing.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
- Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Genoa

Timetable and season of the Porto Torres to Genoa ferry
Sailing times on the Porto Torres to Genoa route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule about daily. Morning departures are usually the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Porto Torres port.
For a connection at Genoa - a flight, a train or another ferry - let us know and we choose a sailing with a comfortable margin.
Departure: Porto Torres port
The ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa leaves from Porto Torres port, in Porto Torres - Porto Torres is the north-west Sardinian ferry port with a Roman bridge and the Basilica of San Gavino. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles typically 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: The metro (line E) links the airport to the centre in about 30 minutes and is inexpensive and simple for a central hotel with light luggage; a private car is easier for a late arrival, a family with luggage, a hotel in the steep old town or Foz, or a trip on to Braga, the Douro valley or the coast.
- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Porto Torres to the port on request
- Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes

Onward journeys from Genoa - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the crossing to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where does the ferry arrive in Genoa?
You dock at Genoa passenger terminal. Buses and taxis meet every arrival, and a Haqqi Tours driver can wait at the pier with your name if you add a transfer.
Which port does the ferry leave from?
Sailings depart from Porto Torres port. We send the gate or pier and the check-in time with the ticket, and can book a driver from your hotel to the port.
How long is the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa?
Roughly 10 hours on the fastest boat; where a conventional ferry also runs it takes longer but moves less in the swell. We send the exact time of each sailing with its cost.
What is the cheapest ferry ticket from Porto Torres to Genoa?
Generally a foot-passenger seat on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. Let us know if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Porto Torres to Genoa ferry across the days you can travel.
How much does the ferry from Porto Torres to Genoa cost?
Ferry fares from Porto Torres to Genoa vary with the company, the type of vessel, the date, the seat or cabin you choose and any vehicle. We do not print a figure that changes weekly; send the form and the real cost for your dates comes back on WhatsApp.
Can I change or cancel my ferry ticket?
Rules depend on the shipping line and the fare; many tickets can be changed for a fee, the cheapest cannot. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same chat.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Tell us and we confirm what applies to your sailing.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Porto Torres to Genoa?
For most people the ferry: it docks in the town, carries all the luggage and the car, and typically costs less door to door. We book flights too and say which is better for your dates.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Certainly. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Porto Torres port and from Genoa passenger terminal to your hotel, with room for the bags, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How early should I be at Porto Torres port?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before departure, vehicles 60 to 90 minutes; earlier on international crossings. Some fast boats board only minutes before sailing, so the margin matters.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
Yes, carry it: passports are checked at the port on international crossings, and an ID is required on many domestic sailings too. We confirm what applies with the ticket.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, where the ship has classes: airline, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Let us know your preference and we send the cost of each.
Is the crossing rough?
Typically calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Tell us if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
