Travel from Hvar to Dubrovnik

This page covers the Hvar to Dubrovnik direction. Check the departure from Hvar specifically: the return timetable, vessel and intermediate calls can differ from those in the opposite direction.

Departing Hvar. Passenger ferries arrive close to the waterfront. Hvar Town is walkable, while buses, taxis and road transport connect with Stari Grad and other island settlements.

On arrival in Dubrovnik. Do not confuse Gruž with the small Old Port beside the historic walls. Check the exact berth and operator shown on your ticket, particularly when combining ferries, catamarans and local boat trips.

Use the dated timetable for the departure and arrival time. Do not calculate this direction from the outward crossing time: daylight, overnight and multi-stop sailings can have different durations.

Corridor context. The Dubrovnik to Hvar ferry is a direct passenger catamaran between Dubrovnik and Hvar. It is currently available through the Direct Ferries booking inventory and was rechecked for EUFerry on 20 September 2026. Because ferry schedules are dynamic, the live booking results should always take priority over a typical frequency quoted in a guide.

For the opposite direction and the original crossing details, see Dubrovnik → Hvar.
