Within the context of an extensive renovation of the Tirrenia fleet, between 2001 and 2005 the line to/from Sardinia gradually introduced five ships that had both a large transportation capacity and a speed of thirty knots (around 55 km/h).

All these ferries are 214 metres long and 26 metres wide, with a tonnage of between 36 thousand and 40 thousand tons.

They can carry between 2,700 and 3,000 passengers and between 900 and 1,085 cars.

Tirrenia has chosen their traditional Sardinian names to highlight the fact that Sardinia now has a fleet that is at the forefront for standards and safety.

Crossing times are considerably reduced on the fast ferries, which are all homogenously fitted out to the same standards as cruise liners.
