Check times and buy tickets

From Rijeka Airport

Rijeka Airport is on the island of Krk, at Omišalj, not in the city. Its own shuttle bus runs to Rijeka bus station (Jelačić Square 3, platform 5). The airport’s bus page lists a one-way fare of €15 (about $17) that applies from 1 May 2025, so confirm the current fare. See the airport bus page for the timetable. It doesn’t mention the ferry port, so check how to get from the bus station to your boat. The airport also warns that other bus companies selling tickets to the airport may stop about 2 km from the terminal.

Rijeka to Rab and Novalja (Pag)

Line 9309 is a catamaran that lands in the middle of Rab town and carries on to Novalja on Pag. Jadrolinija says a purchased ticket also reserves a place on the ship, so book ahead in summer.

Wayfa doesn’t copy departure times, because the PDFs are hard to read reliably and an old or wrong time could make you miss a boat. Open the 2026 sailing schedule for line 9309 (PDF) or search your date in the Jadrolinija shop.

Adult fares for line 9309 are in the table. Children aged 3 to 12 pay the same in both seasons. Fares are per person, one way.

Rijeka to Cres and Mali Lošinj

Line 9308 calls at Cres and Martingšćica on Cres, then Unije, Susak, Ilovik and Mali Lošinj. Jadrolinija gives one total of 4 hours 30 minutes for the whole line, and not a time for each stop, so check the schedule for the stop you need.
