Visiting Dubrovnik by a cruise ship - how to make the most of your stopover
Updated: Mar 4
When you visit Dubrovnik on a cruise ship, you have to subordinate your plans to the amount of time that you have at your disposal.
To make the most of your one-day-in-Dubrovnik experience, I recommend booking a private Dubrovnik tour tailored to your time, budget and preferences.
Here are some suggestions for Dubrovnik tours from a cruise ship. Those are just a few ideas that are subject to variations.
Up to 3 hours - Dubrovnik shore tour
- transfer from/to your cruise ship in Dubrovnik port
- private walking tour of the Old City of Dubrovnik
Up to 4 hours - Dubrovnik shore tour
- transfer from/to your cruise ship in Dubrovnik port
- drive to the hill Srd for the panoramic view of Dubrovnik
- private walking tour of the Old City of Dubrovnik
Up to 5 hours - Dubrovnik shore tour
- transfer from/to your cruise ship in Dubrovnik port
- drive to the hill Srd for the panoramic view of Dubrovnik
- private walking tour of the Old City of Dubrovnik
- free time (for shopping/walk on the wall/lunch)
Up to 6 hours - Dubrovnik shore tour
- transfer from/to your cruise ship in Dubrovnik port
- drive to the hill Srd for the panoramic view of Dubrovnik
- private walking tour of the Old City of Dubrovnik

Up to 7 hours - Dubrovnik shore tour

…
As mentioned above, these are only some of the possibilities. Sometimes cruise ships, on their visit to Dubrovnik, anchor in front of the Old City. In those cases, the transfers to/from the Old City are organized by shuttle boats, and possible Dubrovnik shore tours are organized accordingly.
To plan your own itinerary around your preferences, please feel free to inquire.
