Dubrovnik Ferry
Can anyone advise me as to whether it is essential to book a place on the Dubrovnik - Bari ferry, or are spaces readily available for a 'bike and rider? Unfortunately there is no guidance on the ferry operators website. Many thanks.

Can't answer your question, but 2 years ago, when enquiring for a ferry frm Dubrovnik to Italy in April I was told they only operate in summer.

I'd risk trying to get a ticket at Dubrovnik. There aren't that many tourists yet.

Hi,

I remember this comoany, however you can try with tihis site Book your Ferry Tickets, Ferries Services, Inter Rail Passes | Greece, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Corsica, Belgium, France, Montenegro, Albania, Cyprus, England, Germany, Finland
I do not know if there is service between Italy and Croatia. Maybe you can try with Ancona port bigger than Bari anf more lines.


Hope it helps

Regular ferries operate all year from Split to Ancona and back on daily basis. Just google "Ancona Split ferry" and you'll find all the companies that run the route and the timetables.

I'm not sure about Dubrovnik - Bari in winter, but I think they have a couple of trip per week. The same I think happen between Bar (Montenegro) and Bari. Through google you can find all the info you need.

We crossed last year in Sept from Dubrovnik to Bari. Just rocked up at port as soon as we got to Dubrovnik, next ferry sailing wasn't until following day leaving in the evening and sailing overnight. Got on it with no problems. Don't know whether they operate all year.

We ( wife kids and I ) had a lazy week in Dubrovnik back in August 02. We bought our ticket in Dubrovnik a week prior to our sailing back to Bari and we were traveling at the time with a car and pop top camper. I'd say you'd have no problems with just a bike. Our biggest problem was we were one of the last to board and once settled on deck all the seats were taken. Mostly by the younger generation spreading themselves across 4 seats or so, so as to make something of a bed. We had 2 young children, but nobody gave a toss nor even looked like giving up a seat for us. The kitchen staff allowed us to curl up in a corner of the dining room once the meals were done with. This was a reaccuring problem. We travelled of and on for 6 years and constantly found many, many people say under the age of 25 to 30 to be quite ignorant, rude and selfish, regardless of nationality. One memorable moment was sitting at the cliffs edge way up high at Petra, Jordon looking down towards Israel and trying to take in the moment when some Jordanian teenagers showed up with a getto blaster on full noise. I kid you not. Sorry to get off subject. But you should be OK.

Cheers.

Graeme.
