APT

To cruise through the heartland of Europe with APT, the leader in European river cruising, is to embark on a truly memorable departure from the ordinary. With more than 15 years' experience on the waterways, APT utilises its very own fleet of seven new, custom-built river ships to create the dream holiday. The business was born more than 80 years ago: having become Australasia's top travel company, it is still owned and run by the McGeary family. Today, there's no company more in tune with what Australians and New Zealanders want from their holidays. Taking in all the attractions of Europe, APT's range of itineraries reflects the company's commitment to freedom, flexibility and choice. Yet it's the luxury of the ships that elevates APT's European river-cruising program to a level other companies can only attempt to attain. To unpack once and cruise in five-star style along the great rivers of Europe makes for one of the most convenient travel experiences imaginable. On board, recreational choice abounds, thanks to the extensive range of public areas. Factor in the company's fleet of sleek river ships and its vast experience, as well as the diverse variety of holidays on offer, and there really is only one choice when it comes to river cruising: APT.
