Experience Europe Differently in 2026: APT’s New Era of Luxury Travel

Set Sail to Europe in 2025 with APT

Europe has a way of staying with you. The cobbled streets. The vineyard valleys. The scent of lavender drifting from a Provencal market. But in 2026, APT is inviting you to experience the continent in a way that feels more personal, more elegant — and entirely your own.

Whether you’re drawn to Europe’s riverbanks, coastlines, or timeless cities, APT’s 2026 collection blends thoughtful design with soul-stirring encounters. It’s not about ticking off landmarks — it’s about feeling each destination.

And right now, when you book by 30 November 2025, you can enjoy savings of up to $6,600 per couple*.

  • Magnificent Europe (15 days) – Travel from Amsterdam to Budapest aboard the luxurious APT Solara or Ostara, exploring charming riverside towns, indulging in local cuisine, and soaking in the cultural beauty of cities like Vienna and Nuremberg.

  • Douro Delights with Madrid and Lisbon (14 days) – Cruise the dramatic Douro River, explore the architectural marvels of Portugal, and end your adventure in Lisbon, sipping world-class wine.

  • Island Arctic Explorer (14 days) – For the adventurous spirit, set sail on the Seabourn Venture for a once-in-a-lifetime experience through Iceland and Greenland, including whale watching and exploring volcanic landscapes.

Set Sail Aboard a New Class of River Cruising

APT’s newest river ships — APT Solara and APT Ostara — are redefining the art of river travel. Sailing the Rhine, Main and Danube, these vessels aren’t just a way to get around; they’re a floating invitation to slow down, savour and settle into the rhythm of Europe.

Each day brings something new: morning coffee in a medieval town square, afternoons wandering galleries or vineyards, evenings back on board surrounded by soft lighting and local flavours.

And for those called to Portugal, the MS Estrela — purpose-built for the Douro — offers an intimate, localised perspective of one of the world’s oldest wine regions.

No matter how many times you've been, there's always something new to discover in Europe. Whether you want to cruise Europe's central rivers aboard APT's new generation river ships, APT Solara and APT Ostara, glide along the Douro River on the purpose-built MS Estrela or travel in ultra-luxury aboard a Seabourn ship, APT has an array of immersive itineraries that will take you to dazzling locations including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Arctic.

 

Sail Croatia’s Adriatic Coast by Yacht

For a coastal escape with character, the MV Lady Eleganza delivers an experience that’s both private and immersive. Think hidden bays, sun-drenched islands and harbours where time seems to pause. There’s a charm to Croatia that can’t be rushed — and APT’s custom-built yacht ensures you never have to.

With only a handful of guests onboard, it’s relaxed, unhurried, and rich in moments you’ll remember long after the voyage ends.

 

A New Chapter: Small Ship Cruising with Seabourn

In 2026, APT’s partnership with Seabourn takes small ship cruising to new levels. Board the Seabourn Venture for journeys through the Mediterranean and British Isles that offer more than comfort — they offer connection.

Here, luxury is quiet confidence. Service that anticipates. Spaces that soothe. And itineraries designed for those who value depth over breadth — where you’ll linger longer in remarkable places, with expert guides and bespoke experiences along the way.
