How much does the ferry from Split to Ancona cost?
Ferry prices from Split to Ancona move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it through WhatsApp before you decide.
What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Split to Ancona: how to pay less
Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Split to Ancona is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:
- Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares

- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children

Timetable and season of the Split to Ancona ferry
Sailing times on the Split to Ancona route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule several a week all year, daily in peak summer. Morning departures are generally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Split ferry port.
If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Split ferry port
The ferry from Split to Ancona leaves from Split ferry port, in Split - Split is Croatia's Dalmatian port city, built around the Roman Diocletian's Palace, and the ferry gateway to the central islands. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles typically 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: The airport shuttle bus takes about 45 minutes to the main bus station near the port and suits a single traveller staying in the centre; a private car is faster and simpler for Trogir, Omiš, Makarska, island ferry connections or a family with luggage.

- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Split to the port on request
- Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
Arrival: Ancona ferry terminal
Arrival is at Ancona ferry terminal. Ancona is the main Adriatic port of central Italy, with ferries to Albania, Croatia and Greece and the Conero riviera close by. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.
Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How early should I be at Split ferry port?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, vehicles 60 to 90, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Is the crossing rough?
Typically calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Tell us if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.
How often does the ferry from Split to Ancona run?
Several a week all year, daily in peak summer, with more sailings in summer. We send the timetable for your date.
Which port does the ferry leave from?
From Split ferry port. We send the gate and the check-in time with the ticket, and can provide a transfer from your hotel to the port.
How much does the ferry from Split to Ancona cost?
It depends on the shipping line, the vessel (fast or conventional), the date, the seat or cabin and whether you take a car. Haqqi Tours checks the live fares for your date and sends the exact cost through WhatsApp shortly afterwards of receiving the form.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Split to Ancona?
For most travellers the ferry: it lands in the town, carries all your luggage and the car and is normally cheaper door to door. We provide flights too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
Yes, carry it: passports are checked at the port on international crossings, and an ID is required on many domestic sailings too. We confirm what applies with the ticket.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The operator rebooks you on the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk handles it for you on the day. When the forecast is poor we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails in weather that cancels the fast boats.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Bags are not weighed on the big ferries and travel free within the shipping line's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes cap the number of pieces. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
How do I book ferry tickets from Split to Ancona?
Send the form above with your dates, one-way or return and the number of passengers - and the car, if you take one. Our booking desk replies by WhatsApp with the sailings, the vessels and the cost; once you confirm, the ticket arrives in the same chat.
How long is the ferry from Split to Ancona?
About 10 hours on the fastest vessels; the conventional ferries take longer where both run. We send the exact times for the sailing you choose.
