Dubrovnik is the absolute magnet for cruise ships in Croatia. According to new data from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics a total of 395 cruise ships arrived in Croatia waters from the period of January to the end of July and over 63 percent of these ships came to Dubrovnik.

The average stay of a cruise ship is unsurprisingly very short, just two days in Croatian waters, and from the beginning of the year to the end of July 536,953 passengers arrived in Croatia. Compared to last year the number of cruise ships has increased by 2.9 percent and the number of passengers by 3.8 percent.

By the end of this year a total of 882,651 cruise ship passengers are expected to arrive in Dubrovnik on 636 cruise ships.
