APT will offer two luxury Mekong cruises, and its brand Travelmarvel will offer four itineraries through Vietnam and Cambodia.
Additionally, all APT’s luxury 2023 Asia holidays now include free UK airport lounge access.
The 2023 sailing season, with departures from January through until March and July to December, sees the launch of APT’s new luxury ship, the Mekong Serenity.
The ship was custom-built for the brand, with a maximum capacity of 88 guests.
Dining options include the Horizon Bar & Grill, and the Indochine restaurant, which serves authentic Vietnam cuisine with a special five-course menu.
The Harmony Lounge and Bar offers nightly entertainment such as Apsara dance performances.
It features a spacious Sun Deck, the Serenity Spa and Wellness Centre and an onboard swimming pool.
Mekong Serenity will sail two itineraries for the 2023 season, including the 15-day Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights, from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap.
It costs from £4,495 per person and includes home-to-airport transfers by private car, return flights, seven nights aboard the Mekong Serenity and luxury hotel accommodation on land.
Travelmarvel also welcomes a new ship to its fleet for 2023: the RV Apsara.
Previously sailing under APT, the all-balcony, 54 suite Apsara has a maximum capacity of 108 guests, and facilities onboard include the Sun Deck, a Spa and lectures by local guides on Cambodian and Vietnamese culture and history.
The RV Apsara will sail four Travelmarvel Essential itineraries in 2023 including the 15-day Essential Vietnam and Cambodia, from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap, priced from £3,195 per person
Brad Bennetts, APT’s Head of Sales & Business Development said: “The launch of Mekong Serenity has been three years in the planning and brings a new level of elegance to the Mekong for 2023.”
