Access the Inaccessible

Where we go
Antarctica
There is no place on earth like Antarctica, and no better way to discover it than on an expedition cruise in total comfort. Days are spent enjoying Zodiac cruises to penguin rookeries and seal colonies or through a labyrinth of icebergs, encountering whales as you explore. Dramatic landscapes abound everywhere, with massive glaciers calving into the waters and mountains soaring above your small ship as you pass through spectacular narrow channels.
Australia & New Zealand
There is something special about Australia & New Zealand. A feeling overcomes you when you’re there, awakening your senses as you enter a land of vastness and isolation. Whether you are wanting to journey to the ends of the land or find yourself within its spiritual centre, APT is for you.
Europe
Discover destinations near and far aboard a Small Ship Expedition Cruise. Thanks to your ship’s small size, dock right in the centre of a city or town, or jump aboard a Zodiac and head for otherwise inaccessible locations. What’s more, APT’s friendly expedition team are on hand to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
The Exotics
Whether it’s island-hopping through the Indian Ocean from Mauritius to the Seychelles via Madagascar, or cruising the coast and islands of Papua New Guinea, APT’s small ships bring an exotic world to life. Japan and South Korea also feature, with stops in secluded coastal villages and rarely visited offshore islands that bring you a slightly wilder version of Japan that few travellers touch on.
The Kimberley
APT knows Australia better than anyone else, and our small ships give unique access to its coast and offshore islands that are full of Indigenous history, wildlife and other-worldly scenery. Experience the mind-bending Horizontal Falls and Montgomery Reef, see ancient rock art, and visit secluded beaches, all the while accompanied by an APT expedition team.
