The seasonal route is expected to serve holidaymakers heading to the Adriatic Sea, offering a convenient alternative to air travel.

The connection follows growing interest in affordable, sustainable travel options across Europe.

“We are especially keen to welcome tourists from Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and the Czech Republic,” said Deputy Sports and Tourism Minister Piotr Borys during a press briefing.

The politician added that over half a million Czechs visited Poland last year, many choosing holidays on the Baltic Sea.

“Paradoxically, climate change is working in our favour,” he said.

Further details on timetables and ticket prices are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
