  • "Great trips"

    We had a good experience on board of the Tirrenia ferries, despite the fact we travelled without cabin and the staff was rude when they woke up us in the morning.

  • "Genova-Porto Torres-Genova"

    We were in 4 and we slept in a first class cabin. Comfortable trip both ways, I'll book it again. The only problem has been the dinner, the queue was too long for the self-service so we choose the restaurant… bad idea! low quality of food and service, too expensive.

  • "A Tirrenia Sardinia ferry crossing between Porto Torres and Genoa"

    As it was low season, the journey was very good: the ship was clean, the cabin was well laid out and we disembarked on time. The only potential issue was the disorganisation at boarding (the check-in takes place at the ferry terminal, which is more than 2 kilometres away from the jetty). If someone arrives in Porto Torres and follow the signposting for boarding, they end up needing to go back to check-in and then to the jetty again.

  • "genoa porto torres a good value for money"

    Nothing to report regarding the reception in Genoa and in Porto Torres. Nothing to report about the boarding and the disembarkment. The self service restaurant could be better. The waiting time to pay is too long and the dished which are barely warm become cold. One negative: the morning coffee in the self restaurant is disgusting. It's awful, especially after a week of excellent Italian coffee. Except for the coffee (which is not a major issue anyway), everything was fine.

  • "Car Ferry Genoa-Porto Torres "

    The boat tour was on the whole in order. On the negative side acoustically unintelligible loudspeaker announcements. The food in the buffet restaurant was lukewarm, the choice of breakfast on the return trip meager. Places to stay in the bar area were severely limited by passengers who occupied their sleeping places there.

  • "Porto Torres to Genoa September 2013"

    Directferries' confirmation email stated that the tickets could be collected at the warf. When got there we were sent back because we had to collect them from Stazione Maritima, roughly 1km in the direction of the city. Queued up there again. Unbelievable that Directferries provides incorrect information!! the journey itself was satisfactory, but we did think that too many passengers claimed public space to sleep (even double air matrasses).
