Cruises to Bar, Montenegro

Bar is a seaport on Montenegro's southern Adriatic coast and the country's third largest city, set between the sea and Mount Rumija. Its great draw is Stari Bar, the ruined hilltop old town about 2 miles (3 km) inland, where Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman rulers all left their mark, and nearby grows an olive tree said to be more than 2,000 years old. The old town was largely destroyed in fighting in 1877 and 1878 and abandoned after an earthquake in 1979, leaving the stone ruins visitors explore today. The modern town below is also the end of the railway line from Belgrade, opened in 1976.

Do cruise ships dock in Bar? Yes. Ships berth at dedicated cruise quays inside the port, which the cruise port operator places only about 160 feet (50 m) from the town center, so the waterfront and the shops of the new town are close at hand. How far is Stari Bar from the cruise port? It sits about 2 miles (3 km) inland from the modern town, a short taxi ride away.

Cruises to Bar are part of Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic itineraries. Princess calls far more often than any other line, with Norwegian, Celebrity, Oceania and Royal Caribbean also visiting. Kotor, farther up the coast, has its own page.

Stari Bar is the best use of a short call: head up to the ruins first, wear sturdy shoes for the old stone streets, then come back down for King Nikola's Palace and the seafront.

Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.

River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.

Things to do in Bar, Montenegro

From a ruined hilltop town under Mount Rumija to a king's seaside palace, here are the best things to do in Bar on a cruise day:

♦ Stari Bar

The old town of Bar stands on a hill at the foot of Mount Rumija, about 600 feet (184 m) above sea level, looking out toward the Adriatic. Byzantine, Serbian, Venetian and Ottoman rulers all left their mark before Montenegrin forces took it in 1878, and visitors walk among the ruins of its stone buildings and see the aqueduct that once supplied its water. It is a short taxi ride from the port and the highlight of the day.

♦ The Old Olive Tree

In Mirovica, near Stari Bar, grows an olive tree said to be more than 2,000 years old, one of the oldest in the Mediterranean. Protected as a natural monument for decades, it is easy to combine with a visit to the old town.

♦ King Nikola's Palace

Built in 1885 for Princess Zorka and Prince Petar Karadordevic, the Topolica complex includes a large and a small palace, a chapel, a winter garden and a park, and once had its own wooden pier for ships and yachts. The palace now houses the Bar Homeland Museum, with exhibits on the history of the town and the region.

♦ Church of St. Jovan Vladimir

This Serbian Orthodox church in the modern town was built between 2006 and 2016 and is dedicated to Jovan Vladimir, an 11th-century prince of Duklja who is regarded as the first Serbian saint and the patron saint of Bar.

♦ Lake Skadar

East of Bar lies Lake Skadar, the largest lake in southern Europe, a peaceful contrast to the coast for those joining an excursion inland.
