Ferry Sign in Croatia
If you want to combine holidays in two different European countries, you can take a ferry from Croatia to Italy.
Ferries from Croatia to Italy leave from a number of Adriatic Sea ports on the Dalmatian coast. These include several Istrian ports as well as Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split, and Zadar.
Below are the routes.
Ferries from Dubrovnik arrive in Bari.
Ferries from Hvar (Stari Grad) and Spilt arrive in Ancona.
Ferries from Mali Losinj arrive in Cesenatico, Pesaro, Rimini, and Venice.
Ferries from Porec, Rabac, Umag, and Pula arrive in Venice.
Ferries from Rovinj arrive in Cesenatico, Pesaro, and Venice.
Ferries from Zadar arrive in Ancona, Cesenatico, and Pesaro.
Ferries from Croatia to Italy are operated by a number of different companies, including Azzurra Line, Blue Line Ferries, Emilia Romagna Lines, Jadrolinija, SNAV, and Venezia Lines. Some run passenger-only ferries, while others run larger boats that have room for cars. Each ferry company sells its own tickets, which can be purchased online for a discount or at the offices in the ports.
Not every ferry from Croatia to Italy runs every day of the week or all year round. Many ferry companies only run popular tourist routes from mid-June through mid-September, and some boats only run Monday through Friday or on certain days of the week. Many only run once a day on days when they do operate. In light of this, make sure you check to see if your ferry is operating on the date and time you want to take it before you book your travel.
