APT offers savings on Asia sailings early next year

APT has released its Asia river cruise programme for next year, featuring six itineraries across both of its brands.

The company is offering savings of up to £3,300 per couple when bookings for departures between January and March 2023 are made by September this year.

APT will offer two Mekong cruises and four-star brand Travelmarvel will offer four itineraries through Vietnam and Cambodia.

All APT’s 2023 Asia holidays now include free UK airport lounge access.

The 88-passenger Mekong Serenity (pictured), which will operate under the APT brand, will offer sailings from January to March and July to December.

Prices for the 15-day Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights, departing from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to Siem Reap, Cambodia, leads in from £4,495, reduced from £6,145.

RV Apsara previously operated under the APT brand but will now operate four itineraries for Travelmarvel on the Mekong next year.

Prices for the 15-day Essential Vietnam and Cambodia sailing, from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap, lead in from £3,195, down from £4,545, a saving of £1,350.

Return flights, accommodation on the ship and on land, plus 29 meals and beverages are included in the price.

Brad Bennetts, APT’s head of sales and business development, said: “The launch of Mekong Serenity has been three years in the planning and brings a new level of elegance to the Mekong for 2023.

“For all guests travelling to Asia with APT, the luxury holiday begins on their doorstep, with home to airport transfers included and now complimentary airport lounge access rolled in.”

He added: “Over the last 12 months, the Travelmarvel brand has been firmly established as a major player in the cruise and touring space.

“Its outstanding value proposition twinned with the APT gold standard of service is really resonating with customers and the trade alike. With the RV Apsara joining its fleet and lead ins from £3,195 per person, guests can snap up a five-star experience on the Mekong at a four-star price.

“I’d urge agents to get their clients booked in quickly, as this product will sell fast.”
