Sardinia does not only mean the largest island but also the smaller islands; in fact, they too can be reached by ferry with daytime departures only.  

The overnight departure option allows you not to miss a single day of vacation while traveling and involves a sailing time ranging from a minimum of 7 hours to a maximum of 12 hours, again depending on the route chosen and the type of ferry employed by the company on the route.

In any case, all ferries to Sardinia, both day and overnight, carry both passengers and vehicles and offer different types of accommodations and services on board. Passengers can decide to travel in a cabin in total privacy or opt for more economical solutions, such as seat accommodation (reclining or fixed) or deck accommodation without reserving an assigned seat.

If you wish to travel with your pet, there are also cabins with pet access available, equipped with the necessary tools for your four-legged friend to travel in total comfort, all you have to do is request it when booking.

Exceptions are ferries from Sardinia to the smaller islands, which do not have cabin accommodations. Whichever accommodation you choose, all passengers have access to all common areas and facilities on the ships, such as bars, restaurants, TV rooms, play areas and outside decks.
