Adria Ferries is an Italian shipping company specialising in passenger and freight crossings between Italy and Albania. The operator runs daily Adriatic crossings linking Bari and Ancona with Durres, the main port of Albania, and competes on these lines with Grandi Navi Veloci and Ventouris Ferries. Adria Ferries is positioned as a mid-size operator with a focus on the Italy-Albania corridor.
The Adria Ferries fleet runs typical Adriatic ROPAX vessels with cabins, reclining seats, restaurants, bars and vehicle decks for cars, motorhomes and trucks. AF Mia, the former Ikarus Palace from Minoan Lines, joined the fleet in 2023 and is one of the larger vessels on the Italy-Albania corridor. Onboard facilities are typical of overnight Adriatic crossings: cabins ranging from inside economy to outside with sea view, deck space and a self-service restaurant.
SimpleFerry issues an e-ticket. Vehicle passengers should be at the port 2 hours before departure; foot passengers 1 hour 30 minutes before. Customs and passport checks are required (Albania is outside the Schengen area). Cabins for overnight crossings should be booked in advance, especially during the summer peak.

Yes. Albania is outside the EU Schengen area, so a valid passport is required for both directions.
