Among the ferries to Croatia<\/strong> we also find, from April to October<\/strong>, the cruise ferry <\/strong>of the SNAV shipping company which, equipped with on-board services similar to those of cruise ships, operates seasonally on the Ancona \u2013 Split line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cruise ferry in the fleet of the Neapolitan shipowner Gianluigi Aponte is a ship of the “Strade Consolari Romane” class, the MSC Aurelia<\/strong>, which has returned, since March 2024, in SNAV livery. In the cover image, it is the larger of the two ships docked in the port of Ancona<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are at least three weekly departures on the outward journey and three on the return journey<\/strong>, all in the evening with night navigation, which in the high season (July and August) increase to five weekly departures, thanks to the addition of trips with morning departure and navigation in daytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferry Ancona \u2013 Split SNAV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SNAV<\/strong> Ancona \u2013 Split ferry<\/a> is a cruise ferry (i.e. with services and furnishings similar to those of modern cruise ships) which reaches the Croatian port of Dalmatia<\/strong> from the capital of the Marche region from April to October three to five times a week<\/strong>, and carries out the reverse route with the same frequency and at the same times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mid-season it leaves in the evening<\/strong> and sails at night. Trips increase in high season<\/strong>, generally from mid-July to the end of August, when sailing is also possible during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
