I am looking at routes to get from Hvar to Rovinj in July.Do you have the times for Ferry Route 101 released?  Any suggested alternative options to get to from the south to the north would be appreciated.

Ferry route 101 is now discontinued and it is very unlikely it will be introduced again.

Hvar to Rovinj ferry & bus travel options are:

1. Hvar to Split by fast ferry (1 hour) https://www.croatiaferries.com/hvar-split-ferry.htm
2. Split to Zadar bus (3 hours)
3. Zadar to Pula ferry (4.5 hours) https://www.croatiaferries.com/zadar-pula-ferry.htm
4. Pula to Rovinj bus (1 hour)

The total time involved should be at least 9 hours. Important thing is to make sure you arrive in Zadar before 16:00 to get on the ferry to Pula. You will be in Pula around 20:30. If you can’t get a bus to Rovinj, get a taxi.

The alternative is to take a ferry to Split and then a bus from Split to Rijeka and another bus from Rijeka to Rovinj. This option is also a very long one, I guess you are better off using ferry from Zadar to Pula.

Here is a directions map that shows the ferry and bus journeys (ignore timings, this is walking map):

Eli, yes, Pile Gate is a good place to get a taxi or Uber pick up to port Gruz https://www.croatiaferries.com/dubrovnik-ferry-port.htm to get on any ferry to or from Dubrovnik.

Get Uber or if you need, the list of taxi numbers is here:

Have a nice holiday 🙂

Vinc, get in touch with local Jadrolinija office in Supetar, Brac.

Here are the contact info:

ag.supetar@jadrolinija.hr

yes you will.

if you have a ticket you get on ferry if ferry is not cancelled due to the bad weather.

dubrovnik to split ferries are all just for foot passengers, no cars so ferry ticket guarantee you space on the specific ferry you booked.

Simon,

perhaps you can consider this option too:

morning to Rijeka

afternoon to Mali Losinj:

https://www.croatiaferries.com/rijeka-malilosinj-ferry.htm

Sinead, the 5 am ferry crossing from Split to Stari Grad on Hvar islands starts on 03.06.
On 02.06 that ferry crossing is at 6 am, an hour later.
I hope this will also be ok for your travel plans.

Yes, you can do Milna (Brac island) to Hvar (Hvar island):

https://www.croatiaferries.com/milna-hvar-ferry.htm

in the morning and come back in the afternoon:

I am interested in travelling from either Rovinj, Rijeka, or Pula to Hvar, Split, or Stari Grad on May 21st.
Are any ferries available at these times?

Update 2023:

No direct ferries are available for these routes.

The alternative is to take

1. a ferry from Pula to Zadar – >> https://www.croatiaferries.com/pula-zadar-ferry.htm
2. a ferry or bus from Rijeka to Zadar  – click the orange button on this link >> https://www.croatiaferries.com/rijeka-zadar-ferry.htm

From Zadar to Split take a bus or private transfer (Uber also works here)

and from Split to take a ferry to Hvar

https://www.croatiaferries.com/split-hvar-ferry.htm

Or, if you prefer to include more ferries take the ferry from Rijeka to Novalja (Pag)
https://www.croatiaferries.com/rijeka-novalja-ferry.htm
bus from Novalja to Zadar
https://www.travel-file.com/novalja-zadar-buses.htm
bus to Split and proceed to Hvar as above

Summary:

Basically, there are ferries from Pula via several islands to Zadar and, separately ferries from Rijeka also via some islands all the way to Zadar.

Between Zadar and Split there are no ferries at the present, you have to use a bus, transfer, or Uber.

From Split towards the south, there are several ferry lines connecting Split via islands to Dubrovnik.

just an update here, there is now a new article about how to get to Dubrovnik from Vis island: >> here is a link

I'm visiting Croatia in June this year and have family at Vela Luka on Korcula island and would love to visit them but I'm limited for time. I would like to go for the day but if that isn't possible I could go for 1 night but would have to take my campervan. And I'm guessing this will be expensive! I can leave from either Dubrovnik or Split, whichever is easier and less expensive. I'll be in Dubrovnik on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night (21/6 to 24/6) and I could stay the night on Saturday night. Could you please give me some options and costs. I have looked at the timetables but find them very confusing. The campervan size is 599cm in length and 205cm in width.

Split to Vela Luka timing and ferry prices (bottom of the page) is here:
https://www.croatiaferries.com/split-velaluka-ferry.htm
Prices for campervan are there too.

The cheaper option is from Dubrovnik =>> drive to Orebic (90 min approx) and get your campervan on ferry (15 min aprox):
https://www.croatiaferries.com/orebic-domince-ferry.htm
From there drive to Vela Luka (40 min aprox)

As this is an overnight ferry, an accommodation on ferry from Ancona to Split is compulsory so yes, you would need to book in advance..

We're thinking of going to Polace in May – do you know if this is a stop on the Dubrovnik to Bari ferry and I can see a last June timetable but just wanted to check the ferries run all year. Any thoughts gratefully received,

Polace is small village on Mljet Island . To reach it you can travel by ferry from Bari to Dubrovnik and change ferry there for Mljet. So yes, you can travel by Bari to Dubrovnik ferry to reach Polace. Once in Dubrovnik, take any ferry from Dubrovnik to any port on Mljet island and then take bus to Polace.
See all ferries to Mljet island here :
https://www.croatiaferries.com/mljet-island-ferries.htm

this map can be helpful:

Yes, ferries to Mljet run all year around.

I was trying to book a ferry ride from Dubrovnik to Bari but was unable to.
Are these ferries no longer running?
The web site says that there are no further sailings.

Hi Shawn, I just talked to the ferry company and they reassured me that ferries from Dubrovnik to Bari will indeed run. They intend to publish a timetable and enable booking for this year in the next couple of weeks.
