How Do I Get From The Airport To The Ship?

How Do I Get From The Airport To The Ship?

One of the first things our guests enquire about when they are heading to Croatia is how to get from the airport to the ship. You can relax knowing that there are a few different options, regardless of whether you’re in Split or Dubrovnik – getting to your destination from the airport is easy.

Transport between Split Airport and Split Harbour

Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Distance: Approximately 25 kilometers

Transport Options:

  1. Catch the airport bus for approximately €8. The bus timetable varies depending on the time of year but generally leaves the airport 30 minutes after the arrival of a scheduled flight. Tickets can be purchased onboard the bus in cash only. Bus schedules can be found here.
  2. Hail a local taxi for €30 - €40 one way.
  3. Pre-organise a private transfer with Sail Croatia.

Transport between Dubrovnik Airport and the main bus station in Port Gruz

Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Distance: Approximately 30 kilometers

Transport Options:

  1. Catch the airport shuttle bus for approximately €6. The airport shuttle bus operates between the airport and the main bus station in Gruz, in time with all domestic and international arrivals and departures. It is then a short walk from the bus station to the port. Please note your ship may be docked in the extension of Gruz Port (Port Gruz runs from South Gruz, to North Gruz Port which is under Dubrovnik Bridge). This is located a 10-15 minute walk away (or a one minute taxi) from the main port.
  2. Hail a local taxi for approximately €30 - €40 one way.
  3. Pre-organise a private transfer, with Sail Croatia.

Sail Croatia Private Transfers

If you prefer not to deal with the worry and stress of organising transport between the airport and the port (or vice versa), we do offer airport transfers. If you have booked nearby accommodation prior to your cruise, our transfers can get you there as well.

If you’re booked on an Elegance cruise, two transfers are included in your itinerary between the airport and your ship/accommodation (one arrival transfer and one departure transfer on the start/end day only). We will organise these with you a couple of weeks prior to your cruise – just simply fill in the form we send you and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you’re joining us on a Navigator, Explorer, Active Cruise or Yacht Tour, we can organise transfers for you for an additional fee. Please email our Sales Team via [email protected] and we will be able to confirm pricing and availability for you!
