How to book ferry tickets from Dubrovnik to Split with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a ferry from Dubrovnik to Split is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a car and its length, a cabin, a pushchair, a pet, a connection on arrival - you let us know by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Gruz port and stay reachable during the crossing.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
• Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Split

Because a person books it, we can line the Dubrovnik to Split ferry up with a flight or a train the same day, choose the sailing that leaves a safe margin, and warn you if the weather forecast makes the fast boat a risk.

Timetable and season of the Dubrovnik to Split ferry

Daily, April-October - that is how often the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 5 hours at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your travel date rather than a list that may be out of date.

If a sailing is cancelled by the operator for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Gruz port

Gruz port is where the Dubrovnik to Split ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator'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
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Dubrovnik to the port on request

Arrival: Split Riva harbour

The ferry docks at Split Riva harbour - Split is Croatia's Dalmatian port city, built around the Roman Diocletian's Palace, and the ferry gateway to the central islands. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in Split with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Dubrovnik to Split crossing.

Many travellers continue from Split to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

• Children's fares by age; infants normally free

Things to do in Split after the ferry

Split is Croatia's Dalmatian port city, built around the Roman Diocletian's Palace, and the ferry gateway to the central islands. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: a boat trip to Hvar, Brač or Vis, Krka National Park, Diocletian's Palace, the Peristyle and the cathedral bell tower and the Riva promenade are all reachable from Split Riva harbour. For the first meal, try Pag cheese and Dalmatian olive oil, fritule and other sweet fritters and black cuttlefish risotto.

We offer tours and transfers in Split as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split

The ferry from Dubrovnik to Split 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. May to October is the busy season, with July and August the hottest and most crowded; the coast road through Kaštela and Solin is slow at peak hours, and winter is mild but quiet, with fewer ferry sailings. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Dubrovnik to Split?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Dubrovnik and lands you in Split 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 can provide flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Split to Dubrovnik

The Split to Dubrovnik ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 5 hours. Haqqi Tours provides 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 Split cost?

The cost of the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

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 often the best value for a family.

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

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

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often 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 frequently changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger

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