2013 - APT Europe River Cruising

Five-Star River Cruising River cruising with APT is one of the world's most indulgent, relaxing and unique holiday experiences – and you only need to unpack once. No other holiday experience quite compares to exploring Europe's myriad of attractions in comfort, style and at your own pace as you glide through incredible destinations aboard a luxury floating hotel. A New Way to See Europe River cruising has fast become the most popular manner in which to explore this vast continent – with good reason. After you've unpacked, your river ship brings each new and unique destination directly to you. While cruising, as you've already settled in, you can simply relax amid the luxury of your ship. And, unlike ocean cruising, pretty ever- changing scenery will pass by you every day. Take The Road Less Travelled It's no accident that waterways run through some of Europe's most enchanting places. For centuries, they have connected and divided the cities, towns and villages along their shores. Steeped in the legends of the past, to visit these places is to step back in time, immersing yourself in the history of the past and the rich culture of the present. Relax or Explore APT's exclusive range of included sightseeing options not only caters to all tastes and fitness levels but also allows for ample time to explore independently. So each new day presents you with the choice of doing as much, or as little, as you wish.
