2014 - APT Russia River Cruising

Welcome to Russia Russia, its allure is magical. From the grandeur of St Petersburg and the romance of its rural villages, through to Moscow's onion-domed churches and red-bricked Kremlin, there are beautiful masterpieces at every turn – treasures of art, architecture, ballet and cuisine. This land of epic tales, such as Pasternak's Dr Zhivago, offers equally inspiring journeys, while our itineraries make travelling an effortless dream. A cruise between St Petersburg and Moscow aboard the MS AmaKatarina is to Rob, Geoff and Lou McGeary take an enchanting voyage through history. While embarking the iconic Trans-Siberian Express aboard Russia's most luxurious train is to embrace one of life's true travel adventures. With APT, you'll immerse in Russia's mystical destinations in unrivalled style. We've combined our Russia Waterways cruises with land journeys through the enchanting Baltics, the idyllic landscapes of Scandinavia, and past the cultural wonders of Eastern Europe. We have also included a number of special land journeys that complement an indulgent cruise through Western Europe's river valleys. With APT, no matter which adventure you choose, you can be assured of being rewarded with a life-enriching experience.
