IS IT WORTH IT? | (ADRIA OVERNIGHT ferry review from Durres, Albania to Bari, Italy)
What a crazy overnight ferry experience! I thought we were going to travel in style because I never even looked up this ferry before we boarded, but G knew a lot better what we were getting ourselves into...
It was an experience, that's for sure! But was it worth it? I don't know. It was pretty expensive to us... but you can decide for yourself after you watch the video!
We did wake up in Italy though! And ended up having 3 awesome days in a region of Italy we've never visited before!
If you have any questions, please let us know! We are always happy to help. Thanks so much for watching and we will see you next time!
XO,
Aimara & Gordon

You got scammed. You could have taken a flight to Bari for a 30 min trip. Anyway, thanks for trying it on our behalf.
Such a great video! 👍 love it!

Thank youuuu! And yes, Albania travel days are really something... Oh you guys are going to have so much fun in Italy!!!! It's not only beautiful, but the food... OMG!
I still can't believe how much we spent on that room :( But at least Bari was amazing!!
Hi my friend I like your videos and I was wondering did you get any stamps on your passport when you arrive to Bari 14:32

Yes, we did in Bari :) But not in Albania (at least our passports)
What was the cost of the ferry without the private room?
My dearest, of course $188 worth it! (excepting the 💩episode of couse )You were traveling from one country to an other and the best of it was that you were going to Italyyyyy! And I’m pretty sure you will enjoy this two days of vacation.

En verdad no nos acordamos 🙈 Creo que fuimos en persona en Durres. Pero como vas con coche lo mejor es que compres online. La empresa se llama Adria Ferries - www.adriaferries.com/en/ o creo que es lo mismo comprar a traves de GNV www.gnv.it/en/ports/albania/durres - suerte y feliz viaje! 🩵
Thats exactly what I am planning to do this May. If you buy just plain ticket, without cabin, where can you stay?

Most people try to stay in the main area that you can see at minute 10:20... people traveling in groups claim all the big tables so it may be difficult to find a spot. I also think the chairs we show at minute 8:20 are available for people traveling with a standard ticket. We even saw people sleeping on the floors in the hallway. it's a disorganized first come first served situation....
Doing this at the end of the week with our two dogs. Any chance you saw any pets on your journey? Can't believe customs took so long to get through!

Good luck! Yea, I totally remember seeing a little dog in the common area! A lot of people spend the night in the area next to the little cafe, but to claim the good seats you need to get there early. Bari is awesome - enjoy it!
Hi how did you buy your ticket for the ferry ride?
@waysoftheworld_

Hi, we bought the tickets online at www.gnv.it :)
We will be doing the overnight ferry in a few weeks and we're wondering. Is there a storage area for your luggage if you get a standard or recliner ticket? Or do you have to carry your luggage around with you?
@waysoftheworld_

As far as I know, there is not any storage for luggage. But I could be wrong. People used their stuff to make little forts around the tables and seats that they claimed, haha. But because there are not really many places to go you might just camp around your belongings.
Did you really have to check in 4 hours out? What was the check in process like?
@waysoftheworld_
Жыл бұрын
Hi, no not at all. We got there early because we were making a video. It seemed like you can get in last minute, so no need to check in too early. And checking in was easy, you just present your ticket, go through a quick security check point and go through immigration, which was also fast (but maybe because we got there too early). Anyways, good luck and safe travels! Hope this helps :)

@@waysoftheworld_ I’m scheduled for the same route on GNV next month. Was curious cause on one of my documents it says to check in by 1600 for a 2000 departure. Does check in mean literally get on the boat?

@@womensrights ok ok, well we did check in and went in the boat. There's like a little waiting area after you go through security and immigration, but very small... I think what it means is that you have to wait until 4 pm to check in because we did get there too early and they didn't let us board until the departure time was closer...

Italian ferries are disappointed. But there are many cheap flights from albania to many italian city’s
