Port of Calls

Croatia

Dubrovnik is Croatia's breathtaking walled city on the Adriatic, a UNESCO treasure and Game of Thrones filming location surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

Dubrovnik Intl (DBV)

April - October

Walk the iconic 2km City Walls (UNESCO World Heritage); ride the Dubrovnik Cable Car for panoramic views; explore the Old Town (Stari Grad); swim at Banje Beach; take a boat to Lokrum Island

Tender or pier shuttle to Pile Gate at Old Town entrance

Overtourism is a real issue - cruise passengers should arrive early or late afternoon; City Walls are extremely hot at midday in summer; wear comfortable shoes on cobblestones; keep valuables secure in crowded Old Town

Book City Walls tickets in advance online - they sell out! Take the cable car at sunset for the best views over the Old Town. Sea kayaking around the city walls is a magical experience and less crowded than the walls themselves.

Grilled fish; black risotto; pasticada (beef stew); Peljesac wine; craft rakija (local brandy); fresh oysters from Ston

Old Town for Croatian lavender products; local wine; olive oil; handmade jewelry; Dubrovnik art galleries
