About the DurrësAncona crossing

Northbound from Durrës to Ancona takes the same sixteen hours and runs three times a week: Wednesday and Sunday at 19:00, arriving 11:00 the following morning, and Friday at 17:00 arriving 09:00 on Saturday.

The Friday sailing is the useful one for anyone connecting onward in Italy — landing at nine in the morning leaves a full day, and Ancona's port sits directly below the city with the A14 a few minutes away. The 19:00 departures arrive at eleven, which is tighter.

Fares match the southbound leg: deck passage €90 in low season and €145 in high, cabins from about €98 to €270, a car €125–216. Adria Ferries is the only operator on this crossing, and the ships — AF Claudia, AF Marina, AF Mia, AF Pegasus — carry freight on the same decks, which is why the service holds up through the winter.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Inside and outside cabins, with or without shower
  • 'Pet cabins' — cabins that take animals
  • Reclining seats and deck passage
  • Cars, motorhomes, coaches and freight
  • Bicycles and animals carried free

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
