Description
APT Cruising Description
Australia Pacific Touring have been providing some of the finest river cruises available since as far back as the 1920’s, ever since founder Bill McGeary set up the business to combat an inconvenient tram strike in Melbourne. APT really came to the fore in the Sixties and Seventies, and to this day continues to offer fabulous cruise itineraries along some of the most famous rivers in the world, all conducted on their luxurious fleet of well-appointed cruise liners.
APT Cruising Destinations
Guests can choose from a great many impressive destinations when travelling with APT, such as the many marvellous waterways of Europe, Asia and Egypt. Below are just some of the itineraries available;
• An array of European itineraries, including France, specialised Provence cruises, Spain, Portugal and the Douro Valley, Russia and Helsinki.
• Cruises along Asia’s magnificent Mekong River, which is the tenth largest in the world and traverses a total of six countries, including China.
• An Egyptian cruise along the Nile, spanning from Luxor to Aswan.
APT Cruising Accommodation
The APT Cruising fleet provides splendid accommodation that ensures all guests can enjoy a restful night’s sleep. One of the main reasons for this is APT’s insistence that no staterooms or suites should be located near to the ship’s engine, thus allowing all passengers entirely uninterrupted slumbers throughout their voyage.
Each ship provides a combination of well-appointed staterooms and luxurious suites for you to enjoy, with APT’s own fleet providing a comfortable bed, stylish en suite bathroom with shower, flat screen television, personal computer with Wi-Fi access, spacious wardrobe and in many cases a marvellous private balcony. APT Cruising is also proud to offer cruises on many ships belonging to other cruise lines, all of which offer a similarly high standard of amenities and comfort.
APT Cruising Entertainment & Dining
Much of the APT fleet is comprised of the excellent Aria Class, which offers a great deal of marvellous ways to keep occupied during your voyage. All the ships feature a Sun Deck, home to a superb whirlpool and a collection of loungers, while indoors there is a choice of three lounges, offering a full bar and stunning views across the river, a hair and beauty salon, sauna, massage room and fitness centre. There are various on shore excursions at each port, while dining consists of fantastic meals served in the elegant fine dining restaurant.
On other classes of APT ship and those vessels used in partnership with other cruise operators, guests can of course expect slightly different amenities. Some ships offer a pool on deck, while others offer an outdoor bar and slightly modified lounge areas. Naturally, the on shore excursions will differ depending on where you are going, while the cuisine served during your holiday is also tailored to reflect your itinerary.
