Route guide

Bari to Dubrovnik ferry

Bari–Dubrovnik is the most direct seasonal ferry from southern Italy to Croatia’s far south. It is especially useful for travellers heading to Dubrovnik, the Pelješac peninsula or onward towards Montenegro without driving the full Adriatic coast.

Jadrolinija’s 2026 schedule varies between daytime and overnight patterns, producing crossings of roughly eight to ten hours. The route is seasonal, so check that a sailing operates on your chosen date before planning the wider itinerary.

For Bari to Dubrovnik, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Bari to Dubrovnik. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.
