Before boarding, one simple move: buy your Seafy Wi-Fi pass in advance. Once on the ship, connect to the “Seafy” network, the portal opens, you activate your voucher and you’re online. If it doesn’t open, type portal.seafy.com in your browser. It all takes a minute.

Sardinia — summer that lingers

In October beaches are quiet and the sea is still pleasant at midday. To the north you find sculpted granite and turquoise coves; to the south, golden dunes and Roman sites by the water; inland, open courtyards and artisans at work. It’s the season of village festivals, honey and new wine. Arrivals are easy into Olbia, Golfo Aranci or Porto Torres; sometimes Cagliari too. The rest is all about light.

Sicily — art, sea and autumn flavours

October lowers the tones and makes everything more beautiful. The sea still invites a dip, archaeological sites are blissfully uncrowded, markets smell of citrus and pistachio. Palermo, Catania, Ortigia lead you through Norman chapels, Baroque lanes and black lava. Zingaro and Vendicari are pure silence. Disembark at Palermo from Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples, Livorno or Salerno; some seasons also serve Catania. Sleep in a cabin and wake up already on the island.

Corsica — calm bays and golden trails

Off-season the Île de Beauté slows down. The bays of Santa Giulia, Palombaggia and Calvi are blissful; inland between Corte and Vizzavona the air smells of chestnut. Bonifacio on its cliffs is breathtaking without the crowds. Sail from Liguria or Tuscany to Bastia, Ajaccio or Porto-Vecchio. Even a long weekend makes sense.

Spain — Barcelona in soft focus

October in Barcelona is mild and liveable. Gaudí without stress, afternoons at Barceloneta, tapas nights without queues. Stretch the trip with vineyards in the Penedès or the monastery of Montserrat. Ships from Civitavecchia or Genoa dock right in the city: you land and you’re already where you want to be.

Tunisia — Mediterranean with an oriental accent Tunis gives you crisp mornings in the medina and blue sunsets in Sidi Bou Saïd. Between the ruins of Carthage and the beaches of Hammamet you taste a gentle autumn; with more days push towards oases and desert as temperatures finally turn friendly. Arrivals at La Goulette from Genoa, Civitavecchia, Salerno or Palermo. It’s a near elsewhere.

Morocco — where two seas meet

In Tangier the Mediterranean looks at the Atlantic. The kasbah breathes, cafés tell stories, the wind feels right. With extra time reach blue Chefchaouen, or drift down the coast through white towns and Atlantic beaches. Routes from Genoa or Civitavecchia arrive at Tanger Med: a long journey, a full experience.

A ferry is suspended time you can spend your way. With Seafy Wi-Fi you work an hour, upload photos, jump on a call without chasing port cafés. When you want to disconnect, close everything and head to the deck: golden hour at sea is the trip’s own reward. On the Seafy portal you’ll also find news, casual games, Seafy Radio as a soundtrack, and guides to save before docking. If you create content, uploading while you sip at the bar is a treat; if you travel as a family, a plan with more GB removes friction.

Pick a destination to match your time. Sardinia and Corsica are perfect for a long weekend; Sicily and Barcelona fill five or six days; Tunisia and Morocco deliver a real change of scene. Book the crossing, secure a cabin for night sailings, buy Seafy Wi-Fi in advance and get ready to cast off. October calls with its slanting light. The sea answers.
