The Port Network Authority of the North Tyrrhenian Sea since 2016 gathers the ports of Livorno, Piombino, Portoferraio, Rio Marina, Cavo and Capraia. While the last three are mainly ferries ports, Livorno, Piombino and Portoferraio are concerned also by cruise traffic (Livorno and Piombino being also commercial ports).
The threeport infrastructure includes around 10 quays dedicated to cruise traffic of approximately 5 km of total length of quays, connected to the rail and road network and served by two major international airports (Pisa and Firenze).
Livorno is the natural gateway to Tuscany, only 70 minutes far from Firenze and 20 from Pisa by car/bus/train.
Porto Livorno 2000 is the company privatized in 2019 (Onorato Group and MSC Cruises 66%, Port Network Authority of the North Tyrrhenian Sea 17% and the Chamber of Commerce 17%) that operates the cruise and ferry terminal in the port of Livorno, concessionaire of piers and areas.
The Passenger Port is located in the heart of the Medicean Port, near the Old Fortress, a 16th century monument where cultural and artistic events happen, and next to the old District “Venezia” with its system of canals and bridges, and is within walking distance from downtown.
A second fully equipped terminal (the Alto Fondale quay) can receive the megaships, while the luxury ships berth in the Medicean Port. The excellent connections through Pisa Airport make Livorno the ideal port for turnarounds. World famous vineyards in Bolgheri village, beaches, natural parks, Etruscan and Roman ruins represent interesting alternatives to classic Tuscany tours to the art cities of Pisa, Firenze, Lucca, etc.
