APT Cruises

Imagine staying in a luxury hotel, enjoying comfortable surroundings, pleasant company and magnificent food. Then imagine waking up in a different city every morning – that is the beauty of a river cruise.

With 85 years experience APT understands what makes a truly memorable holiday. As well as discovering fascinating sights on shore, you’ll travel in luxury, enjoying the finest hospitality and state of-the-art amenities aboard your luxury river ship. With everything included, from return flights to guided shore excursions and gourmet cuisine to tipping, you can be confident with APT there are no hidden extras.

Cruise down the Rhine, Maine and Danube rivers, through five countries, taking in the iconic attractions and charming secrets of Europe’s heartland. Explore the bustling cities of Cologne, Vienna, Bratislava and more, enjoy the laidback charm of lesser-known Passau, Dürnstein and Regensberg, and at the end of each day – because you only have to unpack once – reflect and relax on APT’s luxurious river ships.

APT’s Amabella cruises the rivers of Europe, featuring a swimming pool and a choice of three restaurants. APT’s private balconies are a truly unique and innovative development. These exclusive, all-weather balconies allow for maximum floor space inside your suite, while offering unimpeded views of the river from both indoors and out. APT staff on all ships will ensure your holiday runs smoothly. Fares include all onboard meals, complimentary wine at dinner, shore excursions, cruise staff gratuities and return airport transfers.

We like
