Route choice & fare planning

Bari to Split ferry

Bari–Split gives southern-Italy travellers a direct seasonal route to central Dalmatia without driving north to Ancona. Jadrolinija’s 2026 programme uses the ferry Dalmacija and runs from spring into October, with the densest pattern in summer.

The crossing is normally around ten hours and can work particularly well as an overnight journey with a vehicle. Always compare the live timetable because the sailing days change between shoulder season and peak summer.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Bari to Split. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.
