Dubrovnik to Catania, possible by ship?

Hope someone can help me.

I've searched and haven't been able to come up with anything.

We were hoping to get from Dubrovnik to Catania by a two day cruise or something along those lines.

I see that there are numerous cruises that take in both these spots, but it does not look as if you can go directly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I seriously doubt it. The ferry lines stay in the Adriatic.

Bob's right but you could go more obscure - if you really want to sail rather than ferry to Bari then rail/fly/car to Catania then you could look to commercial cargo shpiiers who usually offer basic berths on very basic ships. This may take some digging - however I would have thought that for speed most of the freight will go by road to Catania-Bari then ferry to Dubrovnik.

There is no service by sea from Dubrovnik to Catania. You could do Dubrovnik-Bari (www.azzurraline.com in summer or www.jadrolinija.hr all year) then by train to Napoli then overnight by sea to Catania (www.tttlines.it).

Thanks very much for your replies and ideas.

I'll have to go back to the drawing board.
