Port information & tips for Trstenik (Pelješac peninsula)
Trstenik is an idyllic jewel on the coast of the Croatian Pelješac Peninsula and captivates with its authentic, Mediterranean charm. The tranquil fishing village is nestled in a picturesque bay and offers a dreamlike backdrop for those seeking relaxation, thanks to its location amidst steep vineyards and crystal-clear water. An absolute highlight for connoisseurs is the renowned Grgić Vina winery, while the surrounding hills invite you to go on hikes with wide panoramic views over the Adriatic Sea. Ships dock directly at the central quay in the port of Trstenik, making the compact town center with its traditional konobas and inviting wine cellars easily accessible in just a few minutes on foot.
Trstenik, a picturesque harbor town on the Pelješac peninsula, offers easy accessibility for cruise guests from the DACH region. The port is well-integrated into the road network, with travel via the new Pelješac Bridge being particularly comfortable and optimizing travel time.
Car
Traveling with your own vehicle is extremely convenient thanks to the Pelješac Bridge, which opened in July 2022, as it creates a direct connection between the Croatian mainland and the Pelješac peninsula, thereby bypassing the border crossing at Neum. From the bridge at Brijest, you reach the peninsula and thus Trstenik via well-maintained roads. Alternatively, the coastal road leads via Ston, the entrance to the peninsula, directly to Trstenik. Specific Park & Cruise offers are not explicitly listed for the smaller port in Trstenik, but local parking options are generally available in the town.
Airplane
The nearest international airport for your arrival in Trstenik is Dubrovnik Airport (DBV). It is located approximately 87 to 100 kilometers away and the driving time to the port is about two hours. From there, comfortable transfer options are available by taxi or pre-booked private transfer directly to Trstenik. In addition, buses run from Dubrovnik Airport, which can take you to your destination in about 1 hour 52 minutes to 1 hour 56 minutes.
Pre-Cruise Hotel & Transfers
Due to the pleasant, yet not quite short transfer time from Dubrovnik Airport, arriving the day before with an overnight stay in one of the charming hotels in Dubrovnik or directly on the Pelješac peninsula is recommended for a relaxed embarkation. Numerous private transfer providers are available to take you directly from the airport or your hotel to the ship in Trstenik, guaranteeing a stress-free start to your cruise.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port accordingly and keep in mind that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is generally scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The following also applies during the trip: For shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
