APT

When it comes to river cruising, APT offers superb service and exciting destinations on one of the newest fleets of luxury ships.

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 your dream holiday.

The company was born more than 80 years ago and, though it has 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 a holiday. Taking in all the attractions of Europe, APT’s range of itineraries reflects the company’s commitment to freedom, flexibility and choice. Yet it is the luxury of its ships that elevate APT’s European river cruising program to a level that other companies can only attempt to match.

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 an extensive range of public areas.

Thanks to the company’s fleet of river ships and its vast experience as well as the diverse variety of holidays on offer, there really is only one choice when it comes to river cruising: APT.

Dining

>New and exclusive to APT in 2010, the enhanced range of dining options includes alfresco dining on the ship’s Sun Deck, casual dining in the Rear Lounge and, of course, fine dining in the ship’s world-class restaurant. No matter where you dine, you’ll enjoy free-flowing complimentary local wines with dinner, offering a taste of the regions you visit.

Accommodation

Your suite is a stylish home away from home, with all the refinements of a luxury hotel. With APT, the suite size, type of balcony – an AMA private balcony or twin balconies – and location is entirely your choice. In all suites, you’ll benefit from APT’s revolutionary ship design. AMA private balconies represent innovation in suite design, allowing for maximum space and unimpeded river views, regardless of weather.

Highlights

After 82 years’ experience, APT recognises excellence – which is why it has partnered with AMA Waterways, the world’s foremost Europe river-cruise operator. In 2010, the APT fleet will increase to seven river ships servicing Europe’s waterways, all custom-designed. The addition of ms Amabella will give passengers more choice than ever, and APT offers more cruising routes and departures than most other companies.
