Why Choose an APT River Cruise?
The APT Difference
Whether you've experienced a river cruise before or you're looking to enjoy your first, you may be wondering what the difference is between APT Luxury River Cruises and other leading operators. 'Surely they're all the same?' - incorrect. Okay... the vessels are all similar in size, they sail similar itineraries, visiting many of the same destinations & all include breakfast, lunch and dinner - but there is a difference between operators! So, what sets APT aside?
Family-Owned Since 1927
As a fourth-generation family business ourselves, this is extremely important to us!
APT originally began in Australia when Bill McGeary showed promising success in the travel industry & has now, 90 years on, become a third-generation family business! Understandably, 90 years of knowledge & expertise has helped APT establish what makes the 'perfect holiday', and endeavour to go that extra mile to ensure guests have a life-enriching experience.
Award-Winning
You can trust a brand that has been recognised on numerous occasions! In 2016 APT received the award for 'Best River Cruise' at the prestigious Telegraph Travel Awards - for the second year in a row!
If that isn't enough, you'll atleast know that you're on board one of the best ships on Europe's waterways. In the most recent edition of the Berlitz: River Cruising in Europe travel guide, ships of APT and AmaWaterways' European fleet* were awarded the guide's top ten positions. (*Please note, APT charter many of their partners/AmaWaterways ships)
