Update January 2022:

It seems that this year ferry Zadar will not serve Ancona – Zadar – Ancona overnight ferry line as Jadrolinija did not include this line in its official international sailing schedule for 2022. It is expected MT Zadar will carry on serving Split to Stari Grad (Hvar island) daily service.
