APT is a large, long established Australian touring company and a well known and popular name on the rivers of Europe and Asia.
They split the river product into two parts, namely APT Luxury and APT Travelmarvel. The Luxury brand is more inclusive and successfully competes against the likes of Riverside, Uniworld, Scenic and Tauck. The Travelmarvel brand features brand new ships in Europe on the Danube and Rhine and easily competes with others such as Emerald and Viking, plus they have a new ship on the Douro.
