Ferry to Elba

Elba

A ferry to Elba brings you to an island in Italy’s Tuscan Archipelago, where harbour towns, sheltered bays and rugged headlands set the scene for your holiday. Portoferraio, the island’s main town on the north coast, offers a historic waterfront and a useful base for exploring the northern beaches. The harbour towns of Rio Marina and Cavo lie on the eastern coast, making this side of the island worth considering if you plan to stay near its coves and former mining landscapes. Explore the ferry options to Elba and choose an arrival point that suits your stay before booking your crossing.
