We are real Sardinia fans and travel there by ferry several times a year. Our final destination was the small town of Palau, so the ferry to Olbia was the best option. We therefore also had our car with us. We had booked a cabin for 2 people. The ferry had definitely been in use for a few years, but the condition was still very good. The beds could be folded out of the wall and were also comfortable. There is entertainment on board and also a very good bar. The ferry is especially recommended overnight. We were very satisfied and would definitely book the Moby ferry again.

I made the trip because we were on holiday from Sardinia. We decided to drive over by car, which was very straightforward and there was plenty of space on the ship. We also booked a cabin as we wanted a bit more comfort. It wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate for one night. The food on board was very varied and the price-performance ratio was generally very good.
