I think we all have favourites when it comes to cruise lines, mine for example with Ocean Cruising is Celebrity Cruise and with River Cruising it has to be APT.
CELEBRITY CRUISE–
To me ticked all of the boxes, We tried out first sailing on Reflection from Rome, fabulous holiday from Cabins and entertainment, to food, shops down and to the Gym we enjoyed the lot. I find with a lot of the cruise lines I sail on the entertainment let the holiday down, but not so with Celebrity for as well as the shows which were fantastic each night in the Lounge, to the entertainment around the ship – my first ever Silent Disco for one and we both really enjoyed it. Later this year we are back on Celebrity and sailing this time on the Equinox from Miami cant wait….
APT- Now if you have never tried a River Cruise I would say it is hard to beat a company like them AUSTRALIAN PACIFIC TOURING.
Stunning ships with a choice of two product 4* Travelmarvel or 5* APT
Travelmarvel
- 4* Product – All of the ships include the same:- Tours, Tips included, Meals, Scheduled Flights & Transfers, Expert Guides from the area who speak good English, Wine, Beer & Soft Drinks with your meals. Travelling India, The Rhine, Mekong etc etc so after a lovely day out local performers will entertain you in the evening.
APT
- 5* APT – Ultimate Luxury all of the ships include:- Tours, Tips, Meals, Scheduled Flights and Transfers, Expert Guides, Complimentary Drinks, Home to Airport Chauffeur Pick up * within a 75 miles radius of the airport, they also have the Freedom of Choice concept, to choose your tours at no extra cost.
Another wonderful feature of River Cruising is the size of the ships the majority of the ships will carry 150-180 meaning the crew/passenger ration is brilliant, it also means good friendships are made on board.
If you want any further help or information about either of the cruise lines let me know and usual I will be only too pleased to advise.
