Corfu to Ancona Ferry: Back from the Island to Italy with Minoan or Superfast
With Grimaldi Lines
To go back from Corfu to Ancona by ferry, Minoan Lines and ANEK Superfast offer a seasonal crossing. The ship comes from Igoumenitsa, calls at Corfu and continues to Ancona; it does not sail every day.
Corfu is not called at on every sailing, and even less in winter. Always check the specific date in the timetable rather than the general calendar.
Italy and Greece are in the EU: a valid DNI is enough. Carry your physical driving licence if you drive in Italy or Greece.
Corfu to Ancona ferry timetable
In the timetable you see the departures for the date you choose. The ship leaving Corfu already comes from Igoumenitsa and stops here for a few hours before continuing to Ancona. In summer, Minoan's calendar lists Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Ancona sailings every day of the week. In winter, the line sails directly from Igoumenitsa to Ancona and does not call at Corfu. ANEK Superfast calls at Corfu only on selected sailings, mainly from July to September.
Aggregators contradict each other on the days: that is why the sailing for your date is what counts.

Indicative schedules and subject to variation by the ferry company for operational reasons without prior notice.
How long does the ferry from Corfu to Ancona take?
One night on board. With a late-afternoon or night departure from Corfu, you arrive in Ancona the next day. In the timetable you see the exact duration. Passengers boarding in Corfu get on a ship that already comes from Igoumenitsa, so boarding may be at an inconvenient time.
Who runs the Corfu to Ancona ferry: Minoan and ANEK Superfast
Two ferry companies operate it:
- Minoan Lines (Grimaldi group): in summer, the Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Ancona route. When boarding, go to the ferry company's desk: there is no fast check-in on the routes to Greece.
- ANEK Superfast: Corfu only on selected sailings. It asks you to arrive two hours ahead.
The ship is the same one that leaves from Igoumenitsa: it is not a ship just for Corfu.
Corfu to Ancona ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest we have found for an adult without a car. It depends on:
- The date: it is a summer route with few sailings; returns in late August and September fill up sooner.
- The ferry company: Minoan and ANEK Superfast have different fares and services.
- The accommodation: seat or cabin; with a night on board, almost everyone chooses a cabin.
- The car: it is paid separately.
Children and discounts on Corfu to Ancona
As it is an international route, there is no Spanish resident discount or large family discount. Children and babies have their own fare: say the age of each passenger. Everyone, babies included, needs valid ID; without it there is no boarding and no refund.
Corfu to Ancona ferry with a car
With a car, the crossing involves a night on board. The car decks are closed during the trip: take to the cabin what you need. With LPG, tell the crew when boarding. If you hired a car in Corfu, check beforehand with the rental company that you can take it off the island by ferry; this page has no data on that.
On board the Corfu to Ancona ferry
With a night on board, book a cabin. Closed car decks mean you have to take medicines, documents and chargers to the cabin. As the ship comes from Igoumenitsa, many passengers may already be settled in when you board.
