Ferries from Trieste to Istria: A new service
February 20th 2008 02:50 pm
Ustica Lines has just posted the news of their new passenger ferry route from Trieste to Portoroz (Slovenia), Porec and Rovinj. The service will run from April 24 to September 21 and services are frequent. The catamarans will be zipping back and forth from Trieste twice daily from Tuesday through Sunday. As yet, there is no online booking for these routes but that should change. Check the timetables at Ustica Lines
There hasn’t been a ferry service from Trieste to Croatia for quite a few years. The former Adriatica Navigazione handled the route for a while and Ustica Lines also ran a Trieste ferry for a year or so. Fortunately the regional government of Friuli-
Venezia-Giulia is subsidizing the route to the tune of 1.38 million euros.
The new ferry line gives more choices for visitors who want to use northern Italy as a launching pad for their Croatian vacation. In addition to the catamarans, there are also buses from Trieste and Venice to Istria, trains to Zagreb, and the convenient, comfortable catamarans from Venice to Piran, Porec, Rovinj, Pula and Mali Losinj.
