Sardinia- Where does Riviera dock?

[llarsen]

Hi there,

 

We will be in Sardinia on the Riviera June 17, 2014. Our cruise itinerary lists Olbia/Porto Cervo (Sardinia) Italy.

 

Does anyone know where the ship docks in Sardinia?

One of the local tour operators we inquired with for a day tour asked where exactly we are docking, as it may be too far away from him.

 

Thank you!

If it is the same as previous Oceania cruises which stated Olbia/Porto Cervo as a port of call, the ship will most likely dock at the cruise terminal in the town of Olbia.

Having organized quite a number of private tours, I'd like to offer a "word to the wise", if I may...

Particularly in a smaller port such as Sardinia, the local travel community will usually have a fairly firm idea of where the ship will dock based on her size and a number of other variables.

That your Guide was unsure of the location was red flag one, that he chose to ask you, rather than relying on his own local "connections" was red flag two; in short, this may not be a Guide who has the initiative and experience which you are looking for. Enough said

The cruise port of Olbia is located at the eastern end of Via Isola Bianca

Thanks everyone!

We docked in Olbia on the Regatta. Your guide may have asked you where in Sardinia you would be docking since other cruise ships often go to the western side of the island and Olbia is on the eastern.
