Large new ferry to link tourists on Italian mainland with Sardinia
A new ferry, hailed as one of the world's largest of its kind, will be running between Italy's Sardinia and the mainland from Saturday onwards, making it easier to reach the popular holiday island in the Mediterranean south of Corsica. Operated by shipping company Moby Lines, the Moby Legacy will connect Livorno in Tuscany and Olbia in the north-east of Sardinia, with a one-way trip taking eight to nine hours. The 237-metre-long ferry can accommodate up to 3,000 passengers and up to 1,300 cars.
