Anchor in to the beautiful island of Krk today, where the ship will dock for a few hours, giving you the chance to swim, snorkel and paddleboard on the Adriatic's crystal-clear waters and relax on the ship's sundeck. Then, after a barbecue lunch on board, sail to Rab where you'll have this evening to discover its picturesque Old Town that's packed full of excellent-preserved medieval architecture – the perfect spot for an al fresco dinner.

Today is a trip highlight as you explore the awe-inspiring natural beauty of Krka National Park, its dramatic waterfalls the emblematic image of many a Croatian postcard. Head out on an included tour – an APT 'Insider Experience' – along the wooden boardwalks and bridges, with the chance to swim in the azure-blue pools before returning to the MV Princess Eleganza to get ready for dinner. With the ship remaining in Sibenik, choose between staying on board or exploring Sibenik's town squares and cobbled streets for dinner tonight.

Arrive in to Vis today, which you'll explore with one of APT's 'Insider Experiences' – an ultra-scenic drive around the island. This remote, untouched island is lined with beautiful white-sand beaches and turquoise waters that frame tiny fishing villages on the harbour. Later, sail to Korcula and stroll through its winding medieval streets before sampling one of the local restaurants tonight.

Today will see you arrive in to your penultimate stop, the idyllic island of Badija, for swimming and beach relaxation.
