Jadrolinija Ferries
June 30th 2008 12:24 pm
Every trip to Croatia I learn something new and, I hope, useful to others. I’ve always known that Jadrolinija ups their prices for the June to September ferries but it never really hit home because I usually travel to Croatia off-season.
Naturally I expected to pay a healthy price to cross the Adriatic (from Ancona to Zadar) and to take the overnight coastal ferry–the Marco Polo– from Korcula to Rijeka. I took an inside cabin with private facilities for both legs and was extremely comfortable. I highly recommend taking a cabin on the coastal ferry even if your journey is only during the day; the lounge areas and lobby of the Marco Polo can be quite noisy and it’s hard to find a place to stretch out. Cabin passengers have their own little lounge area. Nice!
Getting back to prices, I discovered that taking a car onto a ferry to the islands is so expensive that it can be a much better deal to rent a car for a day while you’re on the island. The only time it makes economic sense to ferry out your car is if you’re staying a few days. But if you do need to rent a car upon arrival, make sure it’s not a Sunday when many local travel agencies that rent cars are closed.
