Timetables are not shown here

Booking sites disagree with each other — and sometimes with themselves — on days, times and crossing length. We show no timetable rather than one that may be wrong. Confirm with the operator or a booking site before you travel.

At the port

Ferries berth at the Port of Vlora, at the north end of the Lungomare and west of the city centre. It is the port you see on the live camera’s northern views.

Directions to the ferry terminal Taxis near the port

Terminal position as mapped on OpenStreetMap. Check the check-in point on your ticket.

Arrive well before departure — longer if you are taking a car — and have your passport or ID card ready: Albania is outside the Schengen area.
Taxis are the easy way to and from the port with luggage.
Weather can delay or cancel sailings; the operator decides.
