Prepare for the vessel and journey booked
Facilities depend on the vessel assigned to the departure. Treat the booking result and operator confirmation as the source for the exact ship and onboard services.
Seating and accommodation
Use the dated timetable for the departure and arrival time. Do not calculate this direction from the outward crossing time: daylight, overnight and multi-stop sailings can have different durations.
What to keep with you
Keep tickets, medicines, weatherproof layers and essentials with you. On a vehicle ferry, access to the garage is usually restricted once the ship is at sea. Check whether the selected ticket includes a seat, cabin or only passage.
Vehicles, bicycles and assistance
Check the passenger and vehicle categories for the selected operator and vessel. Foot-passenger access, car space, bicycle arrangements, luggage and assistance may differ between services on the same corridor.
Before departure
Tickets, identification and check-in
Booking confirmation
Keep the final confirmation accessible and check whether a QR code, printed ticket or exchange at the terminal is required. The supplier’s instructions override general guidance.
Identification
Carry the identification and travel documents required for the countries and territories in your itinerary. Domestic routes can still have operator identification rules.
Arrival time
Vehicle check-in often closes earlier than foot-passenger check-in. Use the time on the ticket and allow extra margin for traffic, parking or terminal access.

Connect the Igoumenitsa to Ancona crossing with your land journey
Build the itinerary in sailing order: reach the departure terminal at Igoumenitsa, complete ferry check-in, then plan the transfer from the arrival terminal at Ancona. Compare that full sequence with the route in the booking result; a place name alone does not identify the quay or the passenger entrance.
Plan the two ends of the crossing: Igoumenitsa departure and local travel guide · Ancona arrival and local travel guide.
For the return, the journey starts at Ancona. Use the Ancona to Igoumenitsa guide to check that departure separately; the last useful connection and the terminal approach at Ancona may differ from the outward trip.
Other guides from Igoumenitsa towards Italy: Igoumenitsa to Bari · Igoumenitsa to Brindisi · Igoumenitsa to Venice.
These are different arrival points, not interchangeable tickets. Compare the onward distance and the passenger categories accepted before treating another port as an alternative.
