Stay Connected in Genoa โ On Land and At Sea
When youโre on land in Italy, including Genoa and the cruise port area, stay connected with your Red Bull MOBILE eSIM.

The Port of Genoa, a major Italian multi-service port located on the Ligurian Sea, is one of the busiest in the country. The port handles over 60 million tonnes of cargo annually, including containers, breakbulk, and passengers. It serves as a key gateway to Central Europe, covering 22 km of coastline with 25 specialized terminals for ferries and cruises.
The cruise port is located directly in the city center. The cruise terminal (Ponte Andrea Doria and Ponte Dei Mille) is easily accessible to downtown, each handling two ships. It includes dining and tourism options.
Ferry services are available for passengers with and without vehicles.ย
With an eSIM for travelers from Red Bull MOBILE, they can stay connected from the moment they arrive, making it easy to navigate the area, book tours, or share unforgettable moments online without relying on public Wi-Fi.
Ponte dei Mille and Ponte Andrea Doria are the primary cruise terminals, with three-level buildings containing duty-free shops, lounges, cafeterias, and restrooms.ย ย
The cruise port is situated in the heart of the Italian Riviera, close to the city center and Genoa’s International Airport. The Old Port (Porto Antico), Europe’s largest aquarium (Aquarium of Genoa) and the historic center with narrow alleyways are within walking distance.
It is located about 3 km (about 8-minute drive) from the main Genoa city center, with available taxis, buses, and close proximity to train stations.
Having mobile data with an Italian eSIM allows visitors to quickly order transportation, use maps, or communicate with tour operatorsโespecially helpful when ships dock at different terminals.
