While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.
Ferry trips offered by TP Line can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

TP Line Popular Destinations
The most popular shipping routes covered by TP Line include but are not limited to:
High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.
Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons
Pros of Ferry Travel
Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!
Cons of Ferry Travel
The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

Beautiful Views. Taking the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split was relaxing and enjoyable and allowed us to take in the spectacular views from the water. It was smooth sailing, the seats were comfortable, toilets were clean. We had tried to book the morning ferry, and the online site indicated it was fully booked, but the after trip we took was not too busy.

It was on time. We had to take a bus to the other part of the island, because we entered on a different port than told in the booking?? This was not disclosed in the booking. This Also Made it unclear from which port the retour boat would leave.

Super dagtrip ! Zeer toffe manier van reizen naar een eiland. Beter aangeven dat de ophaalplaats kan veranderen ! Wij stonden eerst aan de verkeerde opstapplaats wat ons extra €30 aan taxi kostte. Ik weet onze eigen fout maar kan misschien beter aangegeven worden op de app.

Dubrovnik to Split review. Reasonably comfortable seat. The ferry staff helped me get my heavy suitcase off the ferry. Thank you. There was no snack bar service for the 5 1/2 hour trip. Being the 8.05am service we had not had time for breakfast. A tea or coffee and a snack would have been good. My husband needed to have some food to take his medication so he couldn’t take it. The website said the snack bar service would be on the ferry. The website also says there would be wifi, but you needed a password which was not provided.

Bad Communication. Clean and comfortable. We sent an email asking if we could take the later ferry and we were told no. When we got to the boat (after dropping off our rental car), we were told we could have taken the later ferry. “No problem” Our entire visit to Hvar was rushed as a result of this poor communication! I would check before booking what the policy is about changing return times!! Did not get to do everything we wanted.

This is the way to go. Efficient on-time service. The boat had a large screen monitor that featured commercial ads through out the trip. There should have been a safety video at the beginning of the trip featuring emergency procedures, as the airline have before each flight.

Planned to have wifi but it was broken. Planned on using wifi to do work on my 5 hour ferry ride, but staff was unable to help me connect. They said it was working but each time I entered the provided password it said unable to connect to network. Also when we purchased the tickets on our laptop it said there was an error and that we would not be charged, so we booked on the phone. In there end we were charged twice and have not yet been given a refund for the first purchase that errored out.

Restful ride in the Adriatic. Very peaceful with comfortable seats. The toulets were very clean. The air conditioning was most welcome givennthe heat outside. Enjoyed the views as we travelled down the coast and stoooed at other ports. We had time to chat and think about our journey, and to enjoy some quiet pastimes. Couldn’t get a coffee with milk, espresso or long black only.
