Your own wellness expert on hand
A pleasing offering on board APT’s Europe Cruising is dedicated Wellness Hosts. APT’s Wellness Hosts offer fun, informal onboard fitness classes such as morning stretching, cardio, dancing, and yoga. On land, the fun continues. For guests looking to incorporate a little more fitness into the day’s excursion, Wellness Hosts also lead active walks and bike rides.
Space to relax in
With plenty of areas to become acquainted with, you can hunt for your favourite spot to relax and watch the world go by. From the Sun Decks to the Observation Lounge there is no shortage of memorable view catching areas. Plus, the indoor areas catering to your wellness including the fitness centre, library and of course the boutique!
Guests will also be delighted to discover onboard the luxurious Concerto River Ships they also have access to the heated onboard pool, complete with swim up bar to sip a cocktail or enjoy a few leisurely laps in the azure water before dinner.
Indulge in a little self-care
There is no better time for a little R&R than on an APT river ship, thanks to the purpose-built Wellness Centre. Guests are encouraged to treat themselves to a full-body massage and, for those who follow the belief, you feel your best when you look your best – there is even a hair salon onboard to give your tresses the attention they deserve.
Back to nature
Unwind in nature with APT’s exclusive excursions. Feel at peace walking by the gently rolling hills and lazily turning windmills of Zaanse Schans, or, for guests traveling in the spring, there is also the option to meander through an abundance of vibrant tulips at Keukenhof Gardens, Amsterdam. Travel in spring with APT on the 15-day European Gems tour.
Music for the soul
Classical music has been credited to have many positive effects on mental and physical health – including reducing stress and decreasing blood pressure. If that is the case, APT’s exclusive Signature Experience, a breathtaking Classical Concert at Vienna’s City Palace, could be a miracle cure! Guests are invited to sit down to a private concert, featuring orchestral performances of Mozart and Strauss masterpieces, plus music from members of the Mozart Boys’ Choir.
Room to unwind
If there is one thing APT ships do not lack, it is a place to unwind. There is a space for every taste, guests can enjoy a quiet moment in the intimate Wine Room, or lounge on the Sun Deck. All APT cruises also offer the finest European tea and coffee for a delightful hot beverage when the desire arises.
After a day of frolicking through tulip fields and once-in-a-lifetime musical performances, guests can return to their spacious suites (some of the largest suites on Europe's rivers in fact) and make the most of APT's exclusive Twin Balcony Suites, a perfect spot to unwind with a book in hand as the sun sets over the river.
