The Bari-Dubrovnik ferry was once the main link between Italy and southern Dalmatia but the rise in low-cost airlines has diminished the usefulness and hence the frequency of this line. At one time, Croatia's national ferry line, Jadrolinija, ran this route all winter. The ferry runs only from 9 April to 18 October. The trip takes from 7 1/2 to 9 hours. Now there's a new ferry that runs from Bari to Split (summer only). 2024 schedules are not yet available.
