Dubrovnik Pomena Ferry

Travel Tips: Dubrovnik to Pomena Ferry

Arrive early — especially in summer. High season means full ferries, especially on routes to popular islands like Mljet. Be at the port at least 30 minutes before departure to board smoothly and grab a good seat.

Book tickets online — easy and reliable. Skip the port lines, skip the last-minute stress and book ahead. It's quick, convenient, and gives you peace of mind when planning your island escape.

Tickets don’t hold your seat — timing matters. Having a ticket is great, but you still need to show up on time to secure a spot. Ferries are first come, first served for seats and boarding order.

This is a fast catamaran — no cars, just passengers. Dubrovnik to Pomena route is served by a passenger-only ferry, not a car ferry. It’s quick, comfortable, and ideal for travelers heading into nature or hopping between islands.

Snack before you sail. There’s usually no snack bar on board, so bring water and something small to eat — especially helpful if you’re heading straight into the national park afterward.

Best views? Both sides deliver, but left side wins for island lovers. You’ll get gorgeous views no matter where you sit, but the left side (port) gives you a sweeping look at Mljet’s entire western coastline as you approach Pomena.
