Visit several of Old Town’s most iconic sites, which gained even greater fame after serving as locations for the fictional capital King’s Landing in “Game of Thrones.”

After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive in the oldest section of Dubrovnik, a revered UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fans of the TV series “Game of Thrones,” which is based on George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels, will recognize this part of Dubrovnik as King’s Landing, the fictional capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

Your first stop will be imposing Lovrijenac Fortress, located just outside the medieval walls that encircle Old Town. Known as Dubrovnik’s Gibraltar, the 11th-century fortress perches atop a craggy rock overlooking the sea, which represented Blackwater Bay in the books.

Continuing on, you will enter Old Town and make your way to the defensive walls to the south. After climbing the steps, you will walk along the stone battlements, which afford extraordinary views of the sea and the inner city. These walls appeared in numerous scenes in “Game of Thrones”; they were particularly prominent in the Battle of Blackwater Bay.

Later, you will enjoy free time within Old Town, where you may explore other sites that you may recognize from the series. For instance, the Jesuit Staircase was where Cersei Lannister began her Walk of Shame in Season Five, and many of the show’s market scenes were filmed along St. Dominic Street. Following free time, you will return to the pier.

Instantly share your experience with family & friends on your favorite social media site as many of the stops will include wi-fi in real time.

Your tour will start with a scenic drive from the ship to the Rivera Viewpoint. Your walking tour will have designated selfie stops at: • The Rivera Viewpoint
• The Stradun
• Porporela Breakwater
• Jesuit Staircase
• Pile Gate

To make this experience even more fun, you will be provided with a selfie stick and utilize our Selfie Station in order to help catch the perfect picture. During the tour, you will experience a Sweet Prošek wine tasting.

Romantic charm and beautiful scenery will make your visit to Dubrovnik memorable. After a photo stop to take in the magnificent view of Dubrovnik from a vantage point by the road, drive through the picturesque villages of the fertile Konavle Valley to a village of Brajkovici and the estate of Andro Brajkovic surrounded by olive groves and wineyards. Here, your gracious host will offer you a light snack of local specialities such as smoked ham, cheese, homemade bread and a glass of local wine.

Continue to the seaside resort of Cavtat. You’ll have free time to enjoy the quiet little town, a favorite destination for sailors and yacht enthusiasts. Then drive back to the charming Dubrovnik Old Town for an orientation tour with your guide, followed by free time to explore on your own.

Sail along the gorgeous coast of Dubrovnik’s medieval Old Town, taking in the historical attractions on the way to one of the premier beaches on Lapad peninsula.

After departing from the pier in a sleek catamaran, you will sail along the dramatic coast of Old Town, which massive stone walls from the 16th century encircle. If this perspective of medieval Dubrovnik looks familiar, it may be from watching the HBO series “Game of Thrones,” which often used Old Town as a film location.

Continuing on, you will sail past forested Lokrum Island and Fort Lovrijenac, a site so imposing it is known as the Gibraltar of Dubrovnik. Both have also been featured in “Game of Thrones” as they look much like they did in medieval times.

As you approach Lapad peninsula, the captain will decide which beach will best allow you to maximize your experience. It will be either Sunset Beach or Copacabana Beach. Both are wonderfully relaxing and rim sheltered coves.

Feel free to do as you please upon arriving. You might stretch out on the powdery sand and bask in the sun, stroll along the enchanting coastline and take a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea. You will also find abundant shade if you wish to relax out of the sun.

The islands that you will see just off shore are the Elaphites, an ancient Greek word that references the deer that once roamed there.

Pause for photos at three overlooks that present extraordinary views of Dubrovnik’s medieval Old Town, where you will enjoy free time.

After departing from the pier, you will begin a panoramic driving tour of the Dubrovnik, pausing along the way for photos at some of the most spectacular elevated settings. Your first stop will be at the Franjo Tudman Bridge, the most expensive bridge in Croatia.

Named to honor the country’s first president, the suspension bridge is a beautiful, modern structure that offers sweeping harbor vistas. You will also be treated to magnificent views of the Lapad peninsula residential area and the forested Elaphite islands beyond.

Continuing along the coastal road south of Dubrovnik, you will next pause at the Bosanka lookout, where you will be presented with one of the most revealing views of the walled Old Town. The setting is truly inspiring, especially on a clear day.

For yet another perspective of Old Town, you will soon arrive at Srdj Hill. Napoleon’s soldiers built Fort Imperial here in 1812 because of the strategic location and view of the sea. While there are about 80 steps to reach the hilltop, it is well worth the effort.

You will then enjoy a meandering ride down to Pile Gate, an ancient entrance that leads to a welcoming square in the medieval Old Town. During free time, you might walk along the 13th-century ramparts and stroll the main street, commonly known as the Stradun. You will also have the option to stay longer and return by shuttle on your own.

OVERVIEW

Enjoy an exhilarating off-road adventure in a military-style vehicle and learn about the local history during photo stops. The thrills will begin as soon as you board the Pinzgauer, a high-mobility ATV designed for challenging terrain. As you ascend Srd Hill, the mountain that serves as a backdrop to Dubrovnik, you will be treated to one spectacular view after another. The large island that you will see just offshore is Lokrum, which forests also entirely blanket. While pausing at the ruins of Fort Strinčjera and the largely intact Fort Imperial, which was built more than two centuries ago, you will hear about their strategic military roles. Croatian forces most recently used the latter fort during the siege of Dubrovnik in 1991, when the Yugoslav army shelled the city. More breathtaking vistas await you while descending Srd Hill as you will follow a different route down to the seaside neighborhood of Gruz.

Explore Old Town at your own pace for as long as you wish, perhaps walking atop the medieval walls, visiting historical churches and browsing the many boutiques.

After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive at Pile Gate, the primary entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, an area so culturally significant that it has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site. From this point, you will explore on your own.

For an excellent overview of Old Town, you might climb the stairs and walk atop the remarkably thick, 13th-century walls. The full circuit is over a mile, but it’s worth every step, as the ever-changing views of the sea and medieval Old Town are stunning.

You can also expect to see several imposing fortresses such as St. John’s, which guards the entrance to the harbor. The Maritime Museum occupies part of the fortress and presents the area’s maritime heritage through artifacts and documents.

Old Town’s main street, the Stradun, is just as captivating. Meandering along you might pass the ornate Cathedral of the Assumption, the 16th-century Sponza Palace, and the polygonal Onofrio Fountain, which supplied Dubrovnik with water for more than 500 years.

When you get hungry, use the supplied voucher for a traditional, crepe-like pancake at Cele Dubrovnik Gourmet & Lounge. Another voucher for the cable car will take you to the top of Srdj Hill for a sweeping view of Old Town. When you are finished exploring, simply take the shuttle bus back to the pier.

As an introduction to this revered wine region, you will first visit the Brajkovic family vineyard and sample several varietals that reflect the local terroir. You will then ride an open-air mini-train with wheels along a picturesque road to nearby Ljuta, a village with numerous centuries-old water mills. You will see how flour was traditionally milled and how wool was once processed for folkloric costumes that many residents still wear daily. A deeper immersion into wine-making follows, starting at the Vodopic Vineyard, where Marastina, Merlot and Malvasia grapes flourish. The exact wines for sampling will be chosen upon your arrival.

OVERVIEW

Behold the natural beauty of the Neretva River Delta while cruising through its canals and estuaries in a traditional wooden boat known as a lađa. The valley is so fertile that it is often called Croatia’s California, a reference to the many surrounding farms and orchards. Because the wetlands are considered internationally important, much of the them fall under the protection of the Ramsar Convention and must be conserved for perpetuity. As a result, wildlife thrives, especially birds. You may spot white pelicans, spoonbills, pied avocets and oystercatchers among the many water birds. Each year, ornithologists record species new to the river delta, a confirmation that the Ramsar protection has been a success. Before emptying into the Adriatic Sea, the Neretva River feeds Lake Kuti. After a welcome drink at a riverside tavern, you will dine there, most likely on peka, a traditional dish slowly cooked under a dome-shaped lid.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Cruise through the Neretva River Delta wetlands, an environmentally protected area.
• Observe the water birds that flock to the wetlands in great numbers.
• Dine at a lakeside tavern on the traditional Croatian dish peka.
