APT has partnered with Seabourn to introduce a new itinerary through western Canada and Alaska in 2025. The 20-day Splendid Rockies and Alaskan Voyage will explore western Canada, including breakfast at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in Vancouver, meeting a Mountie in Banff and a winery lunch at Kelowna’s Quail’s Gate.

AmaWaterways’ establishment of an Australian beachhead and alignment with Virtuoso in this region has been a pipedream of the business for years, says Gary Murphy, Co-Owner and SVP of Sales for the river cruise operator.

Seabourn has today announced an exclusive multi-year partnership with Australian luxury tour and cruise operator, APT, that will open up inventory aboard the luxury cruise line’s expedition vessels.

APT says two brand-new, ultra-luxury European river ships it will launch in 2025 “will raise the standard of luxury travel to new heights”. Details of the 154-passenger APT Solara and APT Ostara were confirmed today by the Australian global travel company with the unveiling of APT’s 2025 Europe Pre-Release collection.

APT has launched its Vietnam & Cambodia land and river cruise program for the 2024/2025 season, featuring the Mekong’s newest luxury ship, Mekong Serenity.

APT has rolled out its 2024 Private Jet Air Tours featuring five itineraries spanning Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania, and including a new tour flying over the Great Australian Bight.

APT says it will build two new river ships that will launch in Europe in 2025. The decision coincides with the entry of AmaWaterways to the Australian market under its own steam, detailed exclusively by LATTE last week.

AmaWaterways is set to make a bigger splash in the Australian market, with the US-headquartered river cruise line establishing a dedicated office in Australia in 2024.

Travel advisors can now take advantage of early booking savings for APT’s luxury European river cruises, small ship cruises, rail and land journeys for 2024, with the travel operator announcing the launch of the full range of its 2024 European holidays.

APT will launch a new custom-built river ship for the Douro in Portugal, setting sail for the first time in 2024.

APT has released its Japan and South Korea program for 2024, offering a collection of five diverse tours across the region focused on locally inspired cuisine, culture, and history. Signature Experiences include a visit to Naoshima Island, where guests will discover galleries, museums, and art installations on Japan’s one-of-a-kind Art Island. Another unique experience in Japan is a special night of entertainment with a private dinner and drinks hosted by a maiko or geisha in Kyoto.

AmaWaterways is accepting reservations for its 2024 Seven River Journey – Spring and Summer Editions. The longest journeys yet with AmaWaterways comprise a 49-night itinerary on board one ship, AmaMora, and the first-time experience of sailing the complete length of the Rhine and Danube rivers including the seldom visited Danube Delta region leading to the Black Sea.
