Direct overnight ride across the Adriatic. This ferry route takes you straight from Italy to Croatia - no stops, no stress. Most sailings leave in the evening and take around 9 to 11 hours, giving you a smooth overnight option that doubles as transport and a place to sleep.
Year-round sailings, but timing matters. In summer, there are more departures each week, and things book up fast. In winter, the schedule slows down to just a few trips, so always check in advance - especially if you're trying to catch that early-season island vibe.
Vehicle-friendly. Whether you’re on foot or driving, this route has you covered. Cars, campers, and motorbikes are allowed onboard, but spaces can fill up quickly, especially during high season. Make sure to book ahead and get to the port early
Cabins and comfortable seating. Overnight sailings offer a range of seating options, from standard deck spots to private cabins with bathrooms. Booking a cabin is a popular choice for travelers looking to get a good night’s sleep before arriving in Split.
Onboard essentials. You’ll find cafés, snack bars, lounges, and restrooms. Many also offer hot meals through self-service or à la carte restaurants, and some even include breakfast service on morning arrivals—perfect for starting your day with a coffee and a view.
Yes, you can bring your pet! They are allowed, but they need a ticket too. Bring a leash and muzzle (or carrier), and depending on the ship, they’ll either stay in a kennel, on deck, or in a pet-friendly cabin. It’s always best to check ahead so your furry friend isn’t left out.
Arrive early to board smoothly. Foot passengers should aim to arrive 45 minutes before departure. If you’re bringing a vehicle, plan for at least an hour and a half, especially in summer, when ports are busier and boarding takes longer.
Don’t forget your documents. You’ll need a valid passport or EU ID for international travel, plus your ticket. If you're bringing a vehicle, have your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance ready. Families should also check ID rules for minors.
