Route guide

Plan your ferry from Durrës to Trieste

The Durrës to Trieste crossing links Durrës in Albania with Trieste in Italy. This route is part of the Adriatic Sea / Italy–Albania ferry network.

For a departure from Durrës, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Durrës is Albania’s principal international ferry gateway and a major ferry point for services from Italy.

On the other side of the crossing, Trieste is your arrival port. Trieste’s waterfront sights are easy to explore on foot, while rail and bus links support onward travel to Venice, Slovenia and the wider Friuli region.

Compare the Durrës departure and Trieste arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Durrës to Trieste result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Trieste may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
