10th March - 5th April 2026 - Cruise Workshops on the Spirit of Discovery
Peter has been invited to run painting workshops on the Saga cruise ship ‘Spirit of Discovery’, sailing from Portsmouth on the 10th of March, on an 26-night voyage billed as Captain Franko's Homecoming Cruise.
In Captain Franko's own words...
I cannot wait to welcome you on board this scenic cruise to my homeland, Croatia. I am delighted to have been involved in the development of this itinerary which begins by visiting a new port of call for both me and Saga's Spirit ships, Melilla, a tiny Spanish enclave on Morocco’s north African coast.
Next, I plan to cruise into Valletta at sunrise for you to witness the incredible changing colours of the city. The Grand Harbour here is overlooked by forts built by the Knights of St John. From here, we will cruise into the Adriatic Sea to visit Split. One of the main highlights here is the UNESCO-listed centre, which evolves around the Diocletian’s Palace. You can look forward to a particularly picturesque sailing in and out of Split, through the islands off the Dalmatian Coast.
Our next port of call is new to Saga Cruises, Opatija, which I refer to as the Monte Carlo of Croatia. It is an elegant seaside town with grand hotels, well-maintained public gardens and a seven-mile coastal promenade. Next, we continue along the coast for an extended visit to Rijeka, close to the bay where I live. Croatia’s third largest city, Rijeka, has a colourful past and an interesting mix of old and new architecture. It also offers a gateway to the beautiful Plitvice lakes and Croatia’s historic capital city Zagreb.
Our next stop will be at the island of Krk and its medieval walled capital, before continuing to Dubrovnik. March is the ideal time to explore this white stone city, away from the crowds of summer. Highlights include St Blaise’s Church, the Onophrian Fountains and Sponza Palace. Bidding a fond farewell to my homeland, we will cruise into the Bay of Kotor to explore the medieval walled town of the same name. On our return journey we will call at the scenic islands of Corfu, Sicily and Majorca, and enjoy a day in Gibraltar, overlooked by its iconic limestone Rock.

Watercolour On demand - VOD Relaunch
While DVD discs don't seem to be dying out completely any time soon, there has been a definite shift in viewing and purchasing patterns over the last year or so. This has prompted a relaunch of Peters Video On Demand service, with two brand new titles, now exclusively available 'On Demand'.
In Langdale - Pikes and Tarns, he explores the fells above Great Langdale in the Lake District, and challenges himself to hike to three high tarns (Lingmoor Tarn, Stickle Tarn and Angle Tarn) over three consecutive days. The result is a cinematic journey accompanied by five full watercolour demonstrations.
In Two Becks - Malham and Gordale, Peter explores the area around Malham, in the heart of The Yorkshire Dales, visiting the iconic Malham Cove, its impressive limestone pavement, and then on to the spectacular landscape of Goredale and Gordale Scar. Inspired by his visit he paints two watercolours; Malham Beck, with the dramatic backdrop of the cove lurking in the background and Gordale Beck - a close study of a small, but impressive, waterfall on the walk up to Gordale Scar. All demonstrations are bursting with hints and tips to help watercolour artists of all abilities, from beginner upwards, improve their painting technique.
All titles are available to Stream, Download or Rent (see individual video pages for full purchase details). More titles are expected to be added over the next few months, so watch this space!
