Why travel by ferry from Ancona to Split?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Ancona to Split ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Split. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Ancona to Split is an ideal way to travel.

Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
As a general rule, a trip from Ancona to Split is much quicker by plane. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. During the Ancona Split ferry journey with Blueline, Blue Line International, Jadrolinija or SNAV, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
To not get tired, unlike in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. The Ancona Split ferry journey is the opposite! On board, depending on the SNAV, Jadrolinija, Blue Line International or Blueline ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. You're sure to start your holiday in Split already rested.
To finally take the time to travel
We live in a society where everything goes faster and faster. Yet you will enjoy setting sail from Ancona on a SNAV, Jadrolinija, Blue Line International or Blueline ferry that will travel the 147 mi to Split at less than 40km/h.
