Cruising with APT Travelmarvel
Travelmarvel proudly reigns as the brand selected to operate APT’s essential collection of premium river tours and cruises. Cabins are carefully selected on luxurious riverboats, with a host of inclusive extras – including return flights from the UK, ship transfers, tipping, and complimentary drinks with meals.
Guided excursions are also included, making each port an expedition of finely-curated cultural hits. These cruises are relaxed affairs, and no judgement is cast upon your chosen dress code (within reason, obviously). Regardless of your preference to dress smartly for dinner, head out in a smart-casual fashion, or lounge in comfortable wear, then these are the cruises for you. Welcome aboard!
APT Travelmarvel aims to cater for all dietary requests, from Veganism to gluten avoidance, with requests in advance. Outside the dining room, there’s an onboard fitness room, a whirlpool jacuzzi, a putting green and a walking track. After all, you’ll want to burn some calories to permit further trips to the restaurant…
When on land, activities – such as cycling and hiking – are available, too. Not in the mood for exercise? Worry not – head to a local vineyard for a leisurely picnic or lap up the atmosphere of a nearby beauty spot.

Who should cruise
APT River Cruises appeals mostly to couples and small groups of friends, although everyone from all walks of life are welcome. Offering a relaxed, serene and elegant surrounding amid a luxurious cruise experience attracts all ages, but the majority of travellers are retired or middle-aged.
Don’t expect crowds of children or loud activities when onboard. The premium-level expectation rarely draws such a scene. Rather, you should expect eloquent dining, plenty of space to relax, and amenities – such as a heated pool and well-stocked bar – to complement a day of exploring on your own terms.
Destinations
APT Travelmarvel operates on the prime waterways of Europe and Southeast Asia. Travellers can choose from itineraries on the Danube, Rhine, Main, Rhône and Portugal’s Douro, along with sailings across the body of Europe – including the likes of Amsterdam and Budapest.
Seeking a flavour of the Orient? The wonders of Cambodia and Vietnam await you. Regardless of where you select, you’ll enjoy a flavour of our world's greatest culture - from local cuisine to traditional heritage - and broaden your horizons for a renewed take on life.
