Apt has always been our choice of…
Apt has always been our choice of cruise company.
But unfortunately the Croatia cruise was described as luxury cruise was not luxury!
On the last day of our cruise we were sent out of the ship at 09:00 am not being allowed to stay on the ship for our arranged transport to come at 17:30 to take us to the airport for our flight home, which was all arranged by APT. For 8 hours we walk on the streets waiting, in the heat of the day which was about 30+ degrees for our transport.
We were appalled.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. On turnaround days we do require early disembarkation to prepare the ship for new guests, and for this reason luggage storage is offered so guests can explore ashore while awaiting their transfers. We appreciate your comments regarding the wait and will review how we communicate these arrangements to ensure expectations are clearer in the future. Your loyalty to APT is highly valued, and we thank you for bringing this to our attention.

A brilliant experience visiting Cape York
A brilliant experience visiting Cape York and the Torres Straits led by true professionals who thought of everything. It was a shame we visited the islands on a Sunday when things were closed, but this was the only downside.

Great experience onboard capella
We are just back from a fantastic trip onboard travelnarvel Capella on the highlights of the Danube cruise. 5-12 Aug.
We had a wonderful time, it’s a beautiful ship , the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, we had an unfortunate incident in Bratislava on day 2 when my wife’s purse got stolen with 2 bank cards and cash. The cruise director Emese was fantastic and accompanied us to the police station and helped us get through this horrible ordeal, she was fantastic and understanding of our situation. Be careful with your bags, wear them to the front and be vigilant of your sourroundings .
This incident did not dampen our enjoyment of this wonderful cruise, the ports we visited were amazing, the tours organised were great and the entertainment and food onboard was top class.
We would highly recommend travelmarvel for any cruise you wish to take. The ship and crew are top class , an unforgettable trip in so many ways.

River cruise that got everything right
Such a wonderful relaxed environment with attentive and professional staff. Attention to detail was just fabulous. The food was glorious and the accommodation was classy and comfortable. A little more expensive than other cruises available but really worth that extra cost. I enjoyed it immensely

APT cancelled tour for more money
We had booked, with another couple, on the CROATIA & MONTENEGRO IN DEPTH
ZAGREB TO DUBROVNIK on board the luxury yacht, MV Lady Eleganza travelling Aug-September 2026.
All arrangements were finalised and made well ahead of time and everything had progressed smoothly…that was until APT advised us the tour for the booked dates, for which APT had taken all deposits, was unceremonious cancelled 😳❗️
Reason finally given was that APT had taken a “private” booking for that ship 🚢 and we were bumped ‼️😡
We, and our friends (along with our travel agent), will never travel with APT after this disgusting behaviour.

Had an amazing time
Had an amazing time, just a few things to make it perfect. For tours maybe offer two options one cultural and another more of an activity ie sea safari on jet skis or a quad bike trip for the more adventurous guests.

The Rhine Valley in APT Ostara…
Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The food, the people, the trips and the cabin I could go on.
Nothing was too much trouble and our cruise director Bernadetta was fabulous.
The weather misbehaved at times but the sun was out when it was needed.
Can't recommend APT Solara and Ostara enough

We’re thrilled that your Rhine Cruise aboard our new APT Ostara was such a seamless and memorable journey. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the cuisine, the excursions, and the comfort of your cabin – and that Bernadetta’s warmth and expertise helped make it all so special. Even the weather seemed to play along when it mattered most! Your kind words mean a great deal to our team, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on board for another adventure.

Enjoyed pretty much all of the cruise apart from where we were parked on a couple of the stops, as in Porto long way from the town so to far to walk in
27 juli 2025
Antwoord van APT Luxury Travel
Thank you for your review and kind words about your Douro cruise. We understand it can feel a little far from the heart of Porto. River cruise vessels are required to dock at Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from the city centre, as this is the designated mooring area with the facilities and safety standards needed for larger ships. From here, it’s only a short transfer into Porto, so guests can enjoy the sights while we operate within the river’s navigation rules.

Fabulous boat, wonderfull holiday.
Fabulous boat, immaculately maintained, excellent ports of call, enthusiastic and informative Tour Director, plenty of food and drink, ( though served by less than enthusiastic staff, no eye contact, little rapport ). Overall, an exceptionally good trip. We would strongly recommend APT to anyone considering a small motor yacht cruise.,

Nice cruise but not for night owls
Nice cruise but not for night owls. Bar closed 11pm. Bar on deck was closed throughout, except for last night, opened for a couple of hours. No drink service on deck. Had to go to bar downstairs. Staff were very helpful, and friendly. Cabin clean and well appointed.

Antwoord van APT Luxury Travel
Thank you for your 4-star review and for sharing your experience with us! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cruise overall—especially the friendly and helpful staff, and the comfort and cleanliness of your cabin.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the bar hours and deck service. While our onboard bars typically close around 11pm to ensure a restful environment for all guests, we understand that some travellers would enjoy a livelier late-night atmosphere. Similarly, the deck bar’s limited opening is often influenced by weather, port regulations, and guest demand—but your comments are noted and will be shared with our operations team as we continue to refine the onboard experience.
We’re grateful you chose to cruise with us and hope to welcome you back again

It was well organised
It was well organised. Hectic schedule and early starts which I would have liked to have been made aware of prior to the trip. It was my first guided tour so didn't know what to expect but having lived ou of a suitcase for two weeks I would have organised myself a bit differently had I known. However, it hasn't put me off another tour as the destinations were amazing.

We truly appreciate your honest feedback about the schedule and early starts.

Your insight is valuable, and we'll continue working to ensure guests are well-informed about what to expect so they can prepare accordingly.
It’s great to hear that this experience hasn’t put you off future tours — we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure.
