Timetable and season of the Dubrovnik to Bari ferry
Sailing times on the Dubrovnik to Bari route depend on the ferry company and the month - as a rule several a week all year, daily in peak summer. Morning departures are normally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Gruz port.
If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Gruz port
Your crossing starts at Gruz port. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The airport shuttle bus runs to Pile Gate and the Gruz bus station in about 30 to 40 minutes and suits a light bag; a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival or an apartment on a steep street, and for day trips to Kotor, Mostar or Ston with border crossings.
- Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Dubrovnik to the port on request
- Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
- Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
Arrival: Bari ferry terminal
Arrival is at Bari ferry terminal. Bari is the capital of Puglia, with the old town of St Nicholas, the seafront and the trulli of Alberobello an hour away. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.
Many travellers continue from Bari to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
On board the Dubrovnik to Bari ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage
The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.
- Children's fares by age; infants generally free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
- Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
- Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
Things to do in Bari after the ferry
Bari is the capital of Puglia, with the old town of St Nicholas, the seafront and the trulli of Alberobello an hour away. Start with Bari Vecchia and the basilica, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare, then the orecchiette street.
If you want the days in Bari organised - a driver, a boat trip, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.
Best time to take the ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari
The ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.
Ferry or flight from Dubrovnik to Bari?
Ferry versus plane between Dubrovnik and Bari comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from Bari to Dubrovnik
The Bari to Dubrovnik ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 9 hours. Haqqi Tours can provide the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.
How much does the ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari cost?
Ferry prices from Dubrovnik to Bari move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.
The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Dubrovnik to Bari: how to pay less
A cheap Dubrovnik to Bari ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
When you fill out the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Dubrovnik to Bari ferry first, then the alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Yes, absolutely. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper on many operators and we book whichever suits you.
Is the crossing rough?
Typically calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Tell us if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
How early should I be at Gruz port?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, vehicles 60 to 90, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Tell us and we confirm what applies to your sailing.
What is the cheapest ferry ticket from Dubrovnik to Bari?
Normally a deck or standard seat on the conventional ferry, booked early on a weekday outside the peak weeks. Give us flexible dates and we search the cheapest Dubrovnik to Bari sailing across all of them.
Where does the ferry arrive in Bari?
You dock at Bari ferry terminal. Buses and taxis meet every arrival, and a Haqqi Tours driver can wait at the pier with your name if you add a transfer.
Can I take a car on the Dubrovnik to Bari ferry?
Yes, on the car ferries. Give us the car's length and height by WhatsApp and we book the vehicle space; drivers generally check in 60-90 minutes before sailing.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Dubrovnik to Bari crossing.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Yes. We provide private transfers from your accommodation to Gruz port and from Bari ferry terminal to your hotel, with room for the bags, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Can I change or cancel my ferry ticket?
Rules depend on the ferry company and the fare; many tickets can be changed for a fee, the cheapest cannot. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same chat.
How long is the ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari?
About 9 hours on the fastest vessels; the conventional ferries take longer where both run. We send the exact times for the sailing you choose.
How do I book ferry tickets from Dubrovnik to Bari?
Send the form on this page with your travel date, one-way or return and the number of passengers - and the car, if you take one. Our booking desk replies in the WhatsApp chat with the sailings, the vessels and the cost; once you confirm, the ticket arrives in the same chat.
