Those planning their trips to Croatia this year will need to consult ferry schedules when creating their island hopping itineraries. Unfortunately, Jadrolinija, the Croatian national ferry company, has not yet published their schedules for their coastal and local routes in 2013. Most likely they will continue their local daily service between the mainland and most islands, but it is unknown if the coastal ferry that runs from Rijeka to Dubrovnik via Split, Hvar, Korcula, and Mljet will operate.
For now, the only 2013 schedules to be published are the international routes between Italy and Croatia. The following are links to those schedules online:
Ancona to Zadar
Ancona to Split, via Stari Grad, Hvar
Bari to Dubrovnik
Hi Andy and Michelle,
ReplyDeletewhen are the Ferry timetables for the summer usually released? Also interested to know whether or not in your opinion the coastal Ferry between Dubrovnik and Rijeka will be resumed again this year.
Many thanks,
Nick Sharman
The coastal ferry schedule isn't usually released until May, which is quite close to its start date of early June. I think the Dubrovnik - Rijeka coastal ferry will likely operate again this year. Other local schedules that are not yet published will be published over the next couple of months.
DeleteHello Andy and Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really useful, thank you for sharing it with us!
Me and my partner are travelling around europe during the summer and have already booked a flight from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik. We are then planning on getting a bus from Dubrovnik to Split... Do you have any idea how much this bus journey would cost?
Also, is there a ferry service that runs from Zadar to Pula, and also Pula to Venice?
Sorry for all the questions but you seem to really know your stuff!
Thanks again,
Ellie
Hi Ellie,
DeleteI don't know the exact cost of the bus to Split, but I think it is around 100 Kuna per person, which is about 14 EUR.
I believe that there is ferry service from Pula to Venice. I don't know which company runs the service, but I think it is easy to find that information online. I think it is an Italian ferry company.
I do not think that there is a ferry from Zadar to Pula as most ferries connect the mainland to the islands, but not multiple mainland cities.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you knew whether or not the ferry schedules for Dubrovnik - Rijeka coastal ferry are available yet?
Cheers,
Nick Sharman
Hi Nick,
DeleteI was just on the website and they are not up there yet. Jadrolinija sometimes waits until the last minute to publish it.
