Route guide

Plan your ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari

The Dubrovnik to Bari crossing links Dubrovnik in Croatia with Bari in Italy.

For a departure from Dubrovnik, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Dubrovnik’s international ferry facilities are in the Gruž harbour area, with city buses and roads leading to the historic centre.

On the other side of the crossing, Bari is your arrival port. Central Bari is easy to explore on foot, while the railway makes day trips around Puglia particularly convenient.

Compare the Dubrovnik departure and Bari arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Dubrovnik to Bari result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Bari may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Bari

Central Bari is easy to explore on foot, while the railway makes day trips around Puglia particularly convenient.

The old town, castle, basilica and Lungomare are close enough to combine in a compact walking itinerary.

Frequent rail services connect Bari with Puglian coastal towns and major Italian cities.

A car gives more flexibility for inland villages, beaches and rural areas beyond the main rail corridor.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Dubrovnik before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Italy

If driving from Britain, plan the continental approach and any overnight stop before the Italian port. Elba, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily use different mainland gateways; compare the total driving distance after the ferry as well as the sea fare.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Dubrovnik to Bari fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
