Active Discovery

In many destinations throughout Europe, guests can join guided bike tours or hiking excursions through cities, along scenic riverfronts or up to hilltop castles.
Onboard Wellness Programme
Professionally trained Wellness Hosts lead a variety of fitness classes onboard our ships, including yoga, core strengthening and circuit training. Free to participate and open to all abilities, our Wellness Programme adds another dimension to our river cruises fleetwide in Europe in 2019 (excluding Douro).
Wellbeing Workshops
Join the onboard Wellness Host for discussions with a focus on healthy eating and relaxation techniques. Take away some useful tools that will help you continue your wellness journey well after you disembark your cruise.

Enrichment
Complimentary Bikes & Bike Tours
APT originated the concept of putting bicycles aboard river cruise ships in Europe. The idea sprung from the fact that so many of Europe’s rivers are lined with paths that are perfect for pedaling. We’re the only river cruise line that carries more than two dozen bicycles and plenty of safety helmets that are free for you to use. The bicycles give you the freedom to venture out and explore the riverside bikeways. Or, meander through quaint cobblestone streets. The bikes are set up and ready for use as soon as the ship docks.
On Shore Excursions
Set your own pace on shore excursions. Enjoy the full attention of your guide. APT ensures that you’re treated with personalised attention, on land as well as on the river. Their complimentary Small Group Shore Excursions provide a world-class land tour in every destination. They hire the top local guides in every location. They’re confident that you’ll find no more intensive and immersive introduction to the culture and heritage of the region you’re visiting. They offer a “Gentle Walkers” group, for those who’d like to explore at a more leisurely pace. Wherever possible, they offer an “Active Walkers” group, for those interested in covering more ground, and a “Late Starter” group for those who prefer to sleep in.
Culture/History related Lectures & Multi-Media Presentations.
The Observation Lounge hosts land tours/excursions- and culture/history related lectures and multimedia presentations.
