This car ferry line connects port Ploče on the mainland and port Trpanj on Pelješac peninsula. If you are travelling to Dubrovnik by car from the north and want to avoid crossing the Bosnian border you might consider taking this ferry or use the new Pelješac Bridge. The same applies if you are traveling to, or just want to make a short stop, on Korčula Island.
The journey from Ploče to Trpanj is 1 hour long. If you are travelling by car we recommend you avoid crossing the border to Bosnia and use the new Pelješac Bridge. Its faster and more convenient.
The Ploče-Trpanj car ferry is run by Jadrolinija, the major Croatian ferry company. During high season one-way ticket price for adults is 6.11 Euro, while car prices range from 20.94 Euros to 31.32 Euro, depending on the length of the car. We recommend that you arrive at the port at least 30 minutes (1 hour is even better) in advance, buy your ticket at a small Jadrolinija kiosk or online and put your car in the waiting line.

Where do I buy ferry tickets for the car ferry from Ploče to Trpanj ?
Ferry tickets can be bought at the kiosk in Ploče or Trpanj harbour, usually one hour before departure. During summer we recommend that you arrive some time before and put your car in line to ensure a place on the ferry. Tickets can also be bought at the main Jadrolinija office in Dubrovnik or online. Consider that during summer there could be heavier traffic on the road so plan your trip leaving some time margin for you arrival at the ferry port.
Leaving Dubrovnik towards Split (or arriving from Split to Dubrovnik) you could visit Korčula Island
Korčula, also called "small Dubrovnik" is definitely worth a visit. Save some time by not having to drive along Pelješac peninsula again.
