Dubrovnik Cruise Ship Schedule 2012

One of the biggest problems in Dubrovnik is overcrowding due to the arrival of cruise ship passengers during the summer months. On busy days there can be more than 7500 passengers clogging the streets of the Old Town. Most cruise ships are only in town for the day, so the best way to avoid the congestion is to leave the Old Town during the middle of the day and wait until the evening or early morning to enjoy it.

A useful tool for planning your visit is the online cruise ship schedule that shows approximately how many people will be in town on any given day: 2012 Cruise Ship Schedule. The schedule is in Croatian-only, but you simply choose the month of the year you want to view (by number for non-Croatian speakers) on the left side of the page and click on the button beneath labeled “Prikaz izvjesca”.
