Best time to take the ferry from Dubrovnik to Mljet

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Dubrovnik to Mljet?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Dubrovnik and lands you in Mljet itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours offers flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

How much does the ferry from Dubrovnik to Mljet cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Dubrovnik to Mljet?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date and party - foot passengers, seats or cabin - quickly of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, 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 frequently the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Dubrovnik to Mljet: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Dubrovnik to Mljet is generally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• 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

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Dubrovnik to Mljet that day and how much a different day would save.

Timetable and season of the Dubrovnik to Mljet ferry

Sailing times on the Dubrovnik to Mljet route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule daily, more in summer. Morning departures are typically 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.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Gruz port

The ferry from Dubrovnik to Mljet leaves from Gruz port, in Dubrovnik - Dubrovnik is a walled medieval city on the southern Adriatic coast, a UNESCO site known for its city walls and the Stradun. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: 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.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Gruz port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Sobra or Polace, Mljet

You step off at Sobra or Polace, Mljet. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Onward journeys from Mljet - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Dubrovnik to Mljet ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

• Children's fares by age; infants usually free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
