Ferry or flight from Corfu to Ancona?

How much does the ferry from Corfu to Ancona cost?

Ferry prices from Corfu 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 verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Corfu to Ancona ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Corfu to Ancona: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Corfu to Ancona is usually on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:

• 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
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date

When you fill out the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Corfu to Ancona ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Corfu to Ancona ferry

Sailing times on the Corfu to Ancona route depend on the ferry company and the month - as a rule several a week in summer. Morning departures are normally 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 Corfu New 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: Corfu New Port

The ferry from Corfu to Ancona leaves from Corfu New Port, in Corfu - Corfu is the green Ionian island of the Venetian old town, the Achilleion and the north-east coast coves. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles generally 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Local buses run from the airport area to Corfu Town but not directly to most resorts, and taxis queue at the terminal; a private transfer is the simplest way to reach the north and west coasts, especially with luggage or children.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Corfu to the port on request
• Just ask 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
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Arrival: Ancona port

You step off at Ancona port. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.
