Suspended Line

Summer 2024 update: ship travel between Split and Bari is suspended for the time being. As an alternative we offer you Dubrovnik-Bari or Split-Ancona.

Split is a historically strategically located port, halfway between Venice and the important Ionian and Aegean ports.

A beautiful seaside town full of life, bright colours and Mediterranean atmospheres, Split attracts people from all over the world every year for its beaches, crystal-clear waters, lush nature and beautiful landscapes. At the foot of the Mount Marjan, the green lung of the Split-Dalmatian coast, with an important natural heritage, Split is also the international port of call for the larger islands of the Croatia, as well as the most touristy ones, such as Brac, Hvar, Vis e Korcula.

Back from holiday in Croatia, you will take the ship Split Bari towards the Apulia, a crossroads of ancient peoples and different Mediterranean civilisations, a land bathed by three seas, majestic olive trees and genuine cuisine with traditional flavours.

The Port of Bari, the largest in the region, annually registers more than 1600 landings between scheduled ferries, commercial landings and cruise ships. The historic city, just a few minutes from the seaport, has been the theatre where different peoples over the centuries have left evidence of their cultural heritage and architectural style.
