Experience the World’s Greatest Waterways

APT river cruises open up a world of opportunities - from traversing the rivers of Europe to exploring the mystical Irrawaddy River in Myanmar (formerly Burma) with a great selection of cruise offers available to you. Experience the grand opulence of Russia or the colourful and enchanting landscapes of India, which is made possible with the stylish hotel that travels with you!

In most ports you can enjoy a guided tour to the must-see sights accompanied by expert local guides. On selected APT river cruises you’ll even have a choice of excursions, so you can tailor your holiday to your own interests. Choosing a river cruise means you’ll dock in the heart of your destination, which makes exploring by foot easy. For those feeling a little more energetic, bikes are available free of charge on selected European cruises allowing you to explore at your own pace.

More Than Just a Place to Stay

From the spacious window staterooms/suites to the opulent owners suites, all accommodation options aboard APT river cruises offer the perfect place to prepare for an exciting day of exploration, or relax after an evening of fine dining, local entertainment, and great company. Up on the sun deck, many ships feature a swimming pool or whirlpool so you can unwind after a busy day exploring; alternatively, soak up the ever-changing scenery from the spacious lounge which is a great area to socialise with like-minded passengers.

Sample the Finest Flavours

It’s not just the scenery that changes, but also the flavours in the restaurant. The master chef selects the finest local ingredients to create a variety of sumptuous meals. With all meals on board included and complimentary drinks (on selected cruises), you couldn’t ask for more. Many APT river cruises offer a selection of dining options; from the main dining room serving regional flavours which will take you on a culinary journey, to the more intimate setting of the Chef’s Table, which savours the flavours of a degustation-style menu.

That Little Bit More

For guests looking to enjoy the finer things in life, APT offers a luxury range of all-inclusive river cruises which feature extra special touches including private UK chauffeur service, signature experiences and all on board beverages throughout the day. The signature experiences are once-in-a-lifetime moments, which grant guests exclusive access to some of Europe’s most sought after attractions - enjoy a private invitation to Namedy Castle or experience a stunning evening at the City Palace in Vienna. These will create memories you'll cherish forever.
