APT has released its 2022 European Luxury River Cruises offering, which features prices held at 2021 rates.

The cruise line, known for its luxury sailings, is including Covid Flexible Booking Cover in the new sailings, with an extra 20 per cent discount on travel insurance.

APT’s flexible booking cover means travellers can change their date up to 100 days prior departure and are able to rebook a new date with no change fee. It also includes a reduced deposit of £250 per person.

Showcasing Europe’s most famous waterways, the new roster of 2022 sailings includes APT’s most popular itinerary, the 14-day Magnificent Europe cruise – which sails along the Danube River from Amsterdam to Budapest.

Prices for the sailing start at £2,995 per person twin share.

The European Luxury River Cruises offering also includes APT’s Signature Experiences aboard the Grand Empress Steam Train.

The train, as seen on Cruising with Jane McDonald, features lavish, adorned carriages from the 1900s, with guests treated to lunch on board the train.

All APT itineraries include private home to airport and station transfers, meals and drinks, guided tours and sightseeing excursions.

Also included are overseas transfers, luggage porterage, port charges, taxes and gratuities.

Commenting on the early release of the 2022 European river cruising collection APT’s UK managing director, Paul Melinis said:

“We’re delighted to be releasing our 2022 collection early. With limited availability in 2021 as many guests due to travel in 2020 move their planned cruises, and our customers telling us that they can’t wait to get back onto the river – this early release will offer guests the opportunity to plan ahead and book in their future river cruises, giving them plenty to look forward to.

“We’re also aware that many people are looking for extra security with their booking, our enhanced health & safety protocols and discount on Travel insurance – passengers can book their next cruise with APT in confidence.”

APT will operate with an enhanced set of strict health and safety protocols, such as social distancing, increased sanitisation measures on coaches, using hospital-grade disinfectant and having masks available for all passengers.
