Discover why river cruising is becoming one of the most exciting and effortless ways to experience Europe with APT’s luxurious Magnificent Europe journey – a 15-day voyage from Amsterdam to Budapest combining culture, scenery, history and world-class hospitality.
Far from the old stereotype that cruising is slow or boring, modern European river cruising delivers an immersive experience where every day brings a new destination, local flavours, guided touring and breathtaking scenery right outside your suite window.
Guests unpack once while exploring multiple countries in comfort and style, avoiding airports, long coach journeys and hotel changes.
Travelling aboard APT’s state-of-the-art luxury river ships, Solara or Ostara, guests cruise through the heart of Europe along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, visiting iconic destinations including Cologne, Würzburg, Vienna and Salzburg, along with charming medieval villages and hidden gems inaccessible to larger ocean ships.
The journey features APT’s signature all-inclusive luxury, with gourmet dining, premium drinks, expert local guides, personalised service and unforgettable cultural experiences included throughout the cruise.
Exclusive highlights include a private cocktail reception and classical concert at Vienna’s historic City Palace, a visit to Germany’s Namedy Castle hosted by Princess Heide von Hohenzollern, and a traditional Austrian lunch paired with a live Sound of Music performance overlooking Salzburg’s spectacular alpine scenery.
River cruising continues to grow in popularity among Australian travellers because it offers the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery.
