Magnificent Europe
Introducing APT
With more than 15 years experience cruising the waterways of Europe, APT offers a wide range of luxury river cruises. Since launching its first boutique ship in 2006, APT will soon count seven vessels in its fleet and, in 2010, will be able to offer more river cruising routes, ships and departures than most other companies.
APT is a favourite of WEXAS due to the 98% satisfaction rating it receives from travellers and its commitment to maintaining it. Its dedicated, European-based staff ensure your holiday runs smoothly and hassle-free – APT’s inclusive pricing includes all onboard meals, complimentary wine at dinner, shore excursions, cruise staff gratuities and return airport transfers.
With APT, you can be confident that you’ll be treated the same by land as you are by water – as an individual.
Introducing MS Ama bella
In 2010 APT will be launching its seventh custom-designed luxury river ship, the MS Amabella. The newest ship in the APT fleet will feature a swimming pool and a choice of three onboard restaurants.
The MS Amabella will also offer a new level of onboard comfort, with unique twin-balcony cabins, featuring both an allweather private balcony as well as an outside balcony. Together, they create a style of suite that no one else can offer on a European river cruise.

What the experts say
DANIEL WALKER Luxury cruise consultant
Daniel recently sailed from Nuremburg to Amsterdam with apt and shares a few of his top tips below.
“Upgrade to a suite if you can. All apt’s suites boast queen-size beds, en suite bathrooms, large picture windows, sitting areas and complimentary room service. The Owner’s Suites even have a private balcony and, at 350 square feet, are significantly larger than the others. They’re certainly worth the money.”
“Remember to listen to the Tour Director each evening for the choice of tours the next day. For each you’ll be met by a local guide and given earpieces through which to hear him speak – an inspired idea, allowing you to back off and take photos without missing what’s being said.”
“A favourite tour of mine was in Nuremburg, learning of its role in the Second World War and being shown the different buildings where the Resistance hid and plotted.”
