Dubrovnik to Rome

We are travelling to Croatia in June, 2008 and our holiday finishes in Dubrovnik. We must then return to Rome to fly home.Has anyone taken the overnight ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari and then the train to Rome? Please give me any advice about this journey and should I buy the train tickets before leaving home?

I am doing the opposite. Coming in from Rome to Dubrovnik in late May. I am flying on Croatia Airlines and got a $99 one way ticket from a U.S. Based service (you can only buy these tickets at this special price in the U.S.). The flight is only one hour. Beats a long ferry ride in my opinion.

Thanks for your reply. I couldn%26#39;t find a cheap flight from Dubrovnik to Rome. Flights were about double the ferry so you are lucky. Guess it will be an experience. Hope we see some nice scenery from the train. Still dont know if I need to book before leaving.

Hello Natalie54, Camberra

I have seen your poste and althogh I can help you exactly on what you need, at least I can give you this information: you can contact the Ship Company Jadrolinija wich makes the line Dubrovnik - Bari and ask them other informations about the train to Rome and etc. etc.

The contact is: E-Mail: passdept h@jadolinija.hr

Hope help you

Ferries from Dubrovnik to Bari include Jadrolinija and Azzurra Line. Train details online at www.trenitalia.com and you can pre-book the tickets on line.

It is worth having a cabin on the ferry otherwise I find it is difficult to get any sleep.

Thank you very much to those people who took the time to help with my inquiry. I have booked the ferry and will email Jadolinja as suggested to find out more about the train.
