Dubrovnik Cruise Holidays

This ancient walled city is a popular stop on many Eastern Mediterranean cruises, with Dubrovnik cruises offering a wealth of things to do and see. Located on the Adriatic Sea, cruises to Dubrovnik, rich in art and architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boast a host of shore excursions in its thriving centre, charming old quarter and surrounding towns and villages. 

 

Dubrovnik cruises to the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', as it is known as, have become a very popular addition to an Eastern Mediterranean cruise. Sitting on Croatias Dalmation Coast, a cruise to Dubrovnik offers the chance to explore the country’s top sight. The city is steeped in history, with a wealth of churches, museums and palaces to visit, and a host of impressive fountains, squares and polished marble walkways. The medieval old town of Dubrovnik is completely encircled by some of the best-preserved city walls around, which stretch for 2km and offer some breathtaking views. Dubrovnik cruises mean visitors can discover the old quarter, with its labyrinth of steep little streets lined with shops, bars and restaurants, which, being completely car-free, is best seen on foot, with its compact centre easily explored on a trip ashore.        

 

Eating and drinking on a Dubrovnik cruise features a mix of local and international dishes, with plenty of pavement cafes, waterfront bars and local restaurants serving up a range of foods, including wonderfully fresh fish and seafood. The many little shops and markets to see on a cruise to Dubrovnik offer regional goods and crafts such as crochet and lace-work, jewellery and local wine, which all make ideal gifts and souvenirs. Away from the historical town centre, the surrounding areas seen on a Dubrovnik cruise offer relaxing pebble beach’s, with the rugged coastline home to a string of charming coves, and favourite excursions including the town of Cavtat, and the Elafiti Islands.
