  Dear team, I just wanted to send through some feedback. We just completed the Katharine Line ‘Dalmatian Paradise’ 7 day cruise on the Adriatic Pearl Delux category ship and I can not recommend this cruise or this ship enough. The cruise includes all the highlights you’d expect visiting Croatia’s Dalmatian Coastline, tours we’re included at each port and yet you where still left with enough of your own time to explore at your leisure or enjoy the local hospitality. The day tours were great, short and sharp leaving you with enough information to continue on your own. The sunset cruise past the walls of Dubrovnik old town was a particular highlight and a must for any visitor, it’s the only way to truely appreciate the design and history of this beautiful fortress town. Aida our cruise director was exceptionally knowledgeable providing information about Croatia that only someone who has truely lived it would know. Other highlights included daily swim stops in coves unreachable by foot and access to activities and experiences you would otherwise struggle to source on your own. The Adriatic Pearl ship itself is second to none, it contains all the luxuries you would expect from a deluxe category ship, good size rooms, well equip and spacious bathrooms, a beautiful dining area and great communal spaces for socialising or enjoying the sun … not to mention of course the jacuzzi. Rooms were serviced daily and clean towel always available if required. The food was also exceptional, the chefs are masters. Ingredients was locally sourced enhancing the Dalmatian experience and providing visitors with a range of local delights. I’m gluten free which I didn’t disclose as I tend to just make whatever is available work. The crew noticed this and by stop two on the trip went out if their way to adapt meals and source gluten free options for me. Absolutely not an expectation but a welcome effort ensuring I didn’t miss out. What sets this trio apart from other cruises I have experienced is the crew. From the first day it felt as if we were entering their home, we were treated as part of the family. Nothing was too hard and the service was beyond expectational. From the hospitality staff to the deck hands, captain and cleaners. All the crew were just beautiful. The ships owner was also on the cruise, working side by side with her crew. This I have never seen before and it says a lot about the culture of the workplace I believe. I’m very thankful for the experience and the professionalism of both Katharine Lines and more so the Adriatic Pearl ship crew. Thank you! We will be back. Kind regards

  This was our first cruise of any kind. We loved the small size (32 max) which meant we were able to get to know people during the week tour. The rooms were spacious, the food was excellent, and our guide Matija was full of fun and facts about his beloved country. The itinerary took us to all the places we had heard about and the weather was sunny and warm even though we went in the shoulder season (Sept). All in all, we couldn’t be happier with our experience with Katarina Line and the professionalism of tourradar in handling our booking arrangements.

  The cruise ship 'Avangard' is an excellent vessel. An almost brand new vessel with spacious living areas, luxurious ensuite cabins which were regularly refreshed - thanks Andrea, gourmet meals - thanks to a talented chef and staff - Franjo and Davor. Highly competent captain - thanks Duje - and sailing crew - thanks Marin, Dani and Antonio. Dedicated, skilled and friendly waiting/bar staff - many thanks to Tomi and Matea for their humour and charming nature. Very knowledgeable and accommodating tour leader - thanks Ivan. The Split (to Dubrovnik) to Split 7-day tour itinerary was brilliant. So much to see and do, with excellent shore excursions.
