Table of Contents
Two islands, two patterns of service
TP Line links Dubrovnik all year with Sobra on Mljet and with Šipanska Luka on neighbouring Šipan, and until the end of September also with Polače in the north-west of Mljet. Krilo Kapetan Luka calls at Pomena on the western tip of Mljet in summer only, as a stop on the Split - Dubrovnik coastal line.
Check-in at the quay
TP Line and Krilo Kapetan Luka both recommend arriving at your quay no later than 15 minutes before departure.
Luggage and bikes
With Krilo Kapetan Luka, up to 23 kg of luggage per person is included in the ticket, and bikes travel for an extra fee and only if there is space.
Arrival and onward travel
Sobra and Pomena are both on Mljet, but at opposite ends of the island: Sobra in the east, Pomena in the west, right by Mljet National Park with its saltwater lakes and the tiny monastery island of Sveta Marija. Polače also lies by the national park, just a few kilometres from Pomena. Šipanska Luka is the main village on the island of Šipan.
If you want to travel on from Pomena, you will find the connections along the coast on the page Split - Dubrovnik.
