How Long Is The Ferry Ride Between Split And Ancona?
The ferry ride between Split, Croatia, and Ancona, Italy, takes approximately 9 to 11 hours, depending on the operator and season. Two main companies run this route: Jadrolinija and Snav. Jadrolinija's overnight ferry departs Split at 11:00 PM and arrives in Ancona at 8:00 AM the next morning (9 hours), with a return from Ancona at 9:00 PM arriving in Split at 6:00 AM. Snav operates a high-speed catamaran that takes about 4.5 hours, but this service is seasonal (typically June to September). Standard ferry prices start at around €45–€60 per person for a deck seat, while a cabin costs extra. The journey crosses the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, connecting the vibrant city of Split—with its historical significance and vibrant atmosphere—to the picturesque Italian port city of Ancona, known for its rich history and charming waterfront. If you're planning a longer stay, consider your perfect 5 day travel itinerary for visiting both the Croatian coast and the Italian side.
