2017 - APT Europe River Cruising Preview

It's hard to imagine something more magical than waking up to a stunning destination at your doorstep each day. There's always a new town to be explored, a new city full of possibilities and a new way of life to discover. This couldn't be truer than of a European river cruise with APT. From the vineyards that blanket the rolling hills along the Garonne River in France's idyllic south-west, to the famous Rhine River sweeping through a landscape dotted with ancient castles and crumbling ruins, our itineraries cover Europe's most beautiful and historic regions. But for me, the best holiday goes beyond the destinations. It's also about the way you're greeted with a friendly smile as you step aboard your luxurious ship. It's hearing a local expert share a candid childhood memory. Together with having more than 89 years' experience in travel, this is what sets APT apart from other operators – these special, instinctive touches that continue to bring so much happiness to our guests. It doesn't matter if I'm cruising a river for the first time or the third, I know that I'll be endlessly inspired by the joy it brings. Whichever wonderful destination you choose to explore, I can't wait for you to see the magic of river cruising in just the way I do. It is truly a privilege to invite you to find your unforgettable with us.
