Game of Thrones Cruise & Walking Tour Dubrovnik

Sail past King's Landing, then walk through it on foot

A 2-hour cruise and walking tour of Dubrovnik combines a 45-minute panoramic sail aboard the Karaka (the ship Daenerys Targaryen sailed in the series) with a 1 hour 15 minute guided walk through the Old Town's Game of Thrones filming locations. The guide shares behind-the-scenes details and shows where the replica Iron Throne is hidden. A Dragon blood cocktail (non-alcoholic for kids or on request) is included during the cruise.

Game of Thrones cruise and walking tour

• Cruise past filming locations by sea
• Disembark at Old Town port
• Walk tour of King's Landing filming sites

The experience

The tour starts at Gruž port, where you board the Karaka, the actual ship used during Game of Thrones filming. As the crew serves the signature Dragon blood cocktail, the boat heads out on a 45-minute panoramic sail toward the Old City. From the water you see the locations that became King's Landing on screen: the Red Keep where Joffrey celebrated his name day, the Walls of Dubrovnik where Tyrion and Varys walked, the House of the Undying, and Lovrijenac fort, which doubled as the site of the Battle of Blackwater.

When you dock in the Old Town port, your English-speaking guide takes over for a 1 hour 15 minute walking tour through the narrow streets and plazas where the series was filmed. The guide points out the Walk of Shame location and other key spots, shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how scenes were shot, and reveals where the replica Iron Throne is hidden. The walk covers the main filming locations within the Old Town itself, so comfortable walking shoes matter: the route moves through the medieval streets and does involve stairs and uneven ground.

The tour runs rain or shine, though poor weather can force a cancellation. If that happens, you get offered another date or a full refund. A minimum number of travelers is required for the tour to run, and if that threshold is not met, you'll be offered an alternative date, a different experience, or a full refund. The tour is independently operated and not affiliated with HBO or Game of Thrones.
