"Good value"
Good way of making it to Sardinia, calm in the night. Cabin even has shower!
"Ferry Civitaveccia to Olbia"
Easy online ticket, remember to print. Be aware that it might be hard to find a taxi to the port in Civitaveccia as it is a cruise harbor if you have no car. Clean and nice ferry. Took 8 hours, not 6.
"What title?"
I can understand people sleeping in the corridors of the ship but not dogs doing a pee everywhere where possible - honestly everywhere . Discusting !
"Late, tatty boat"
Boat departed almost 2 hours late. Quite scruffy & tatty boat. Staff friendly
"Not worth it"
In italy you get what you pay for , the price of food on the ferry is 4 times s much as anywhere else , no wi-wi so you loose service for a few hours , the crew believes they are doing you a favor by being here , you can’t let the italians run anything , is doomed to fail
"Noisy Tired and old....not value for money"
Over £400 for return trip with car and 2 adults with cabin .....ferry was tired and shabby...cabins had smelly toilet broken curtains and not too hygienic bathrooms..worst was noise all night as an old ferry so paid for a cabin but not possible to sleep due to clunking all night....we have taken overnight ferry’s before and never had this so bad.....use another ferry company if you can like Sardinia ferries rather than this one.if you do have to use this one take your own food......11 euros for 2 coffees and 2 croissants for breakfast......usual price even in capital tourist area is about 6 or 7 so total rip off.
"nice first exciprience"
we traveled with my family during the night - 10 hours from Civitavencchia to Arbatax. I recommend for sure to reserve a cabine if you want to have a shower and sleep. the food in the restaurant was good, the trip was safe and the staff was polite and friendly. need to buy tickets in advance and just copy on a paper to show on the entrance.
"Smooth ferry crossing"
Very pleasant for the most part. Air conditioning set too low, everyone had jumpers on. Food way too expensive and cold on arrival, microwave didn’t work.
"Superhero ship"
Service in the bars great, friendly and helpful. Food on board poor quality, limited healthy options and over priced. We were also keep awake by the staff trying to fix something in a room that was empty
"Excellent experience with Tirrenia Civitavecchia-Olbia"
We were in four with a cabin and car on the route Civitavecchia-Olbia-Civitavecchia. Excellent service. Kind staff, good value for money at the restaurant on board.
"Tirrenia ship"
Excellent organization and fast boarding, big and comfortable cabin
"10 June 2015 journey"
Punctual departure and arrival, well organised the garage, first class external cabin (2 adults) good. Helpful staff
"Comfortbale journey"
Tirrenia Bithia is a very comfortable ship, the cabin it was first class for real, big and clean. There are not so many bar/restaurant/self service, but it was fine. Really good breakfast at the restaurant. The restaurant, the seats and all the enviroments are really fancy.
"hot dishes"
Good welcoming and staff, food should be improved and served hot.
"Boarding Keruffle"
The ship was ship shape, on time, the cabins compact/clean and comfortable. BUT the boarding process in Civitavecchia utterly chaotic. Poor signage, only one luggage scanner and not enough staffing. Better in Cagliari but still long lines to check in. The sit down restaurant was a real disappointment. They did not have half of the items on the menu and and did not provide the proseco as the menu advertised for the fixed price diner. My advice "self cater" unless you are a snack bar fan.
"Fantastic ferries"
Both the booking arrangements via Direct Ferries and the crossing itself with Tirrenia we excellent - all staff on board friendly, helpful, and efficient. All on time. Highlly recommended.
"Ferry crossing Genoa to Olbia"
just to let you know we loved our trip on the 'Bithia'. The cabin was very comfortable. All staff were very helpful and polite. We hope to visit Italy in the future and take another trip on one of your ferries. Katharina Thomas and Stephen Smith GB.
"excellent"
Excellent way to speed up time!
"All good"
Good boy!
"To Sardinia"
Excellent service, punctual, apart from the priority gave to truks during boarding and landing.
"Trip all good"
All good, we are happy and satisfied from the journey
"Porto Torres Genoa 5th November"
That day the sea was rough... The captain changed route so we had a good trip
"Civitavecchia-Olbia/Olbia -Civitavecchia"
All went perfectly
"every thing went smooth as silk."
We took the ferry from cittivecchia to oblia sardenia and all went well as it could. the boat was available for boarding quite early so we could settle in. The directferries web site made booking the trip very easy. the only small drawback was that when you pulled up the options for the trip you wish the options to other destinations also pop up. in other words if you want to go to oblia, the trips to cagliari pop up in line at the bottem of the page. if not careful you might book a trip to the wrong destination. there is not demarcation between the two destinations. but all in all direct ferrys worked great and i will use them again
"all perfect"
positive experience. Departure on time, good restaurant and nice staff. Recommended
"23 years Of Tirrenia outbound and return"
departure on time. Good and clean cabin. Bad food at the self service restaurant. There are no seats for everyone on the deck, shame!
"Sardinia 2014"
It was our first experience with Tirrenia, very positive.
"great online booking"
fast, cheap and easy the online booking system on DirectFerries website. Tirrenia should improve the service on board now.
"Direct Ferries YES - Tirrenia NO"
so, I'm ging to Sardinia every month for work. I have nothing to say about Direct Ferries because the service is always the best. But Tirrenia, €730 for 2adults, 1 child with cabin and a car, return ticket, I think is very expensive.
"staff at the bar not polite at all"
the staff at the bar was very rude and not polite.
"very good service"
all good even if the air conditioning is too strong. Recommended
"all good"
all good, departure on time, very clean, air conditioning too high
"expensive ticket and boarding process not well organized"
Goodmorning, all great but at the port they should be more organized during the boarding process. Expensive ticket.
"booking"
we booked our tickets for Sardinia. All good
