Port Overview

Dubrovnik is an Adriatic Sea cruise port and city in Croatia, and one of Europe’s historically most prominent and popular vacation travel destinations. The city has population around 43,000.

Medieval Dubrovnik (Ragusa) was founded by the Romans in the 7th-century BC. It was the second-largest independent city-state in the Adriatic Sea (after Venice Italy). This picturesque town is on the Dalmatian coast and is a major resort vacation destination, best-known for its stone-made double walls and fortifications.

Dubrovnik handles around 600 cruise ship calls and around 900,000 passengers annually. These numbers rank the cruise port as the Mediterranean’s 10th largest, following Barcelona, Civitavecchia-Rome, Venice, Marseille, Naples, Athens-Piraeus, Genoa, and Savona.

Currently, Port Gruz has 2 quays – one with total length 810 m / 2657 ft (2 berths, completed in 2009, cost EUR 26 million) and another with length 230 m / 755 ft (1 berth, completed in 2011, cost EUR 8 million). The port’s new quay has length of 400 m / 1312 ft (1 berth) and will be able to handle even the world’s largest cruise vessels of RCI’s Oasis-class.
