The Bithia Ferry: Large and Fast on the Genoa-Porto Torres Route

The Bithia ferry is one of the largest and most modern ships in the Tirrenia fleet, designed to offer a comfortable and fast travel experience on the Genoa-Porto Torres route. Launched at the Fincantieri shipyards between 2001 and 2003, this imposing 214-meter long and 26-meter high vessel is one of the largest ferries in Italy. Thanks to its generous size, it can accommodate up to 2,500 passengers and over 800 vehicles, making it ideal for mass transport and ensuring a stress-free crossing. The size of the Bithia ferry required port expansion work in Porto Torres and Arbatax to allow for easy docking of the ship. This investment has ensured access and efficiency in boarding and disembarking operations, consolidating the ship's position as a key point of reference for maritime transport between Sardinia and the mainland. On board, the Bithia ferry stands out for its modern and refined interiors, similar to those of cruise ships. Passengers can enjoy spacious and well-furnished areas, including self-service restaurants, bars and cafeterias, children's play areas, and pet areas. With a speed of around 30 knots, this ship belongs to the category of "cruise ferries," combining the speed of ferries with the comfort of cruise ships. Whether for a business trip or a vacation in Sardinia, the Bithia ferry is the ideal choice for those looking for a fast and safe connection without compromising high-quality services and superior comfort. Book your trip aboard the Bithia ferry and enjoy an unparalleled crossing in complete safety and peace of mind.
