Dubrovnik ferry port (Gruž): where to board and arrival tips
All Dubrovnik - Mljet catamarans depart from Dubrovnik Ferry Port in Gruž, a few kilometres from the Old Town.
Boarding tips
- Arrive at the boarding area at least 15-20 minutes before departure if you already have a ticket.
- If you still need to buy tickets at the port, arrive earlier to allow time for queues and last-minute pier changes.
- Check the line number on your ticket (9807 or 9808) and make sure you are boarding the correct catamaran.
Getting to Gruž port
- From the Old Town and other neighbourhoods, local buses connect to Gruž and the main bus station area.
- From Dubrovnik Airport, use a shuttle bus or transfer and allow extra time in summer traffic.
Useful guides: Dubrovnik by bus - Dubrovnik Airport transfers.
Map: TP Line ticket booth location at Dubrovnik Ferry Port (Gruž).
Luggage, pets, bicycles and practical rules
Fast passenger catamarans have limited space, so it helps to keep luggage simple and arrive early in peak season.
Luggage
- Bring luggage you can comfortably carry on your own from the terminal to the boat.
- If you are travelling with larger suitcases in July or August, arrive earlier to secure space and avoid last-minute boarding stress.
Pets
- If you are travelling with a pet, keep it under control during boarding and on board and follow the operator rules for tickets and placement.
- In peak season, arrive earlier because pet and luggage space can be more limited.
Bicycles and oversize items
- Bicycles and larger items are usually space-limited and may depend on capacity on that specific sailing.
- If bringing a bike or bulky luggage, book earlier and choose less busy departures when possible.
Weather and short-notice changes
- In strong wind or rough seas, fast catamarans can be delayed, rerouted or cancelled.
- Always re-check the operator notice close to departure, especially in winter and shoulder season.
Sobra vs Polače: which Mljet port do you need?
Mljet has more than one arrival point. Your best choice depends on where you are staying and whether you are visiting Mljet National Park.
| Port | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sobra (Mljet) | Main ferry harbour and the most common arrival port for Dubrovnik - Mljet public sailings | Good base for reaching different parts of the island by road; if you are visiting the national park and your catamaran does not call at Polače, you will usually continue from Sobra to the park area. |
| Polače (Mljet) | Often the easiest arrival for Mljet National Park days and stays near the lakes | Only available on dates when your sailing actually includes Polače - always check the stop pattern in the timetable row for your travel day. |
How to choose fast
- If you are doing Mljet National Park: choose Polače when your sailing includes it; otherwise choose Sobra and plan onward travel to the park area.
- If you are staying on Mljet: choose the port that is closer to your accommodation and works best with your arrival time, then pick a place to stay from Mljet hotels.
- If you are doing a same-day return: confirm the return sailing first, then pick the outbound that gives you enough time on the island.
For a full island overview (villages, beaches, transport tips and what to do), see the Mljet travel guide.
How to do a Dubrovnik - Mljet day trip

- Pick your travel date and decide whether you want Sobra or Polače as your Mljet arrival port.
- Open the correct timetable for your line number (9807 or 9808) and match your date to the correct Valid from block.
- Find the return sailing to Dubrovnik for that same line and date block and note the departure time from Mljet.

- Leave buffer time for boarding, local transfers on Mljet, and possible short-notice changes due to weather.
What to do on Mljet in one day
- For nature and swimming, plan time around Mljet National Park and the lakes area.
- If you are staying longer, browse Mljet hotels and match your accommodation location with your arrival port.
