APT has reported significant growth across its river cruise portfolio in the first quarter of 2017 with a 60% uplift in sales compared to the same period last year. 
According to APT’s head of sales and commercial, Angela Waite, much of the growth is attributable to the brand’s Luxury and Premium river cruise product in the Mekong and in Myanmar:
“We’re delighted to report a tremendously strong first quarter across our river cruise portfolio. Our European cruises continue to grow at a steady rate, while Asia in particular is delivering stellar results. River cruising in these regions is becoming a really popular holiday choice for British travellers. By combining an extensive choice of departure dates with longer length itineraries, luxurious river cruise ships, authentic sightseeing and culinary experiences and fantastic deals we’ve created a strong proposition designed to make it much easier for our travel agent partners to sell our holidays.”
To celebrate its strong start to the year and also thank industry partners for their support APT is launching special offers across its most popular Asia tours and destinations.
For example, travel agents can offer clients the chance to “Fly Premium Economy for Free” when they book any 2017 APT Luxury Mekong holiday.
Furthermore the operator is offering the chance to upgrade to business class one way from GBP575 per person.
