The average age was probably around 70 but everyone mixed well and everyone seemed very happy with all aspects of the cruise.
Margie ...read more the APT cruise director was fabulous bringing people together and involved in activities as did her assistant Tatijana. The Seabourn staff were all fabulous with great entertainment crew, bar and restaurant staff. The ship was always so clean. Special mention to the Captain Ertan who was so friendly and approachable. The staff has so much respect for him and his warmth and professionalism showed through all levels of the crew.
Thank you to Hannah from Global Journeys who recommended it. We certainly would never have had this amazing experience on the other cruises we were looking at.
We enjoyed the company of many fellow passengers through the 2 weeks. The entertainment, the excursions, the organisation by the cruise director was all excellent. Even the local guides were extremely good. We were fortunate to have great weather throughout the cruise, and at times just enjoyed the facilities of our ship to escape the heat, and watch the countryside drift by from our room or from any of the view points onboard. A truly wonderful trip of a lifetime.
This trip was made very easy to organise with the help of our Global Journeys Travel Advisor Rachael. Thank you Rachael, we had an amazing time.

FAQ's Frequently asked questions for those considering traveling with APT
Who will I be travelling with?
Most of your fellow travellers will be Aussies and Kiwis, but that’s not to say you won’t meet people from all over the world.
Are airport transfers included?
Yes. APT include complimentary airport transfers on the first and last day of the trip, or if you’ve booked pre- or post-trip accommodation as part of your APT package (subject to availability, some exceptions apply).
Are excursions included?
Yes. APT include Freedom of Choice excursions and Signature Experiences on their trips, which are designed to enhance your time in each destination. On some trips, there may also be additional experiences available to purchase (ahead of time and on-tour). Further details will be available in your APT Tour Personaliser and final travel documents.
Can I pre-book excursions?
Yes, you can pre-book some excursions via your APT Tour Personaliser, once your booking is confirmed with Global Journeys. All other excursions can be chosen while on-tour.
Do I have to pay gratuities?
APT include gratuities for all tours and cruises (unless indicated otherwise on the itinerary), so you won’t need to worry about tipping. However, please keep in mind that gratuities are not included for APT trip extensions.
How much luggage can I bring?
Most APT tours permit one (1) bag weighing between 23kg to 30kg, plus a piece of hand luggage. Some safari and adventure tours may have further luggage restrictions where guests need to pack down to a small soft bag due to the smaller vehicles that are used on-tour. Luggage limits for your particular APT trip will be included in your final tour documents.
Do I need a travel adaptor?
If you decide to bring appliances from home, it's essential to pack a travel adaptor that aligns with the power point and voltage specifications of your destination country. If your appliances are not dual voltage, it’s important to also bring a standard voltage converter. Electricity details for your specific trip will be outlined in your final travel documents.
What do I pack for my trip?
The dress code with APT is pretty relaxed, so light, comfortable clothing is best for during the day. Smart casual clothing is good for evenings, and you might also want to bring something a little dressier for any special events or experiences that are included on your trip. Packing layers is always recommended, and consider any cultural expectations or dress codes that may apply to your travel destination.
If you’re travelling on an expedition cruise, Kimberley or Outback Wilderness adventure, you will need to pack destination specific gear to ensure you are comfortable and equipped for touring experiences (for example, hikes over rugged terrain, wet-landings for Zodiacs and polar expeditions). For more information, please refer to your final travel documents.
Can I bring medication with me?
We recommend packing a small medical kit, as pharmacies can sometimes be difficult to access and not all medications will be available. We suggest packing:
- A general-purpose antibiotic
- Cold and flu medication
- Your preferred pain medication
- Medicine for stomach upsets
- Band aids and blister pads
- Any prescription medication you require while away (including a doctor’s letter confirming your list of prescription medications and dosages).
Will I get seasick on a small-ship cruise?
You may encounter occasional rough weather when sailing in certain destinations such as crossing the Drake Passage. We recommend discussing seasickness medication with your doctor prior to departing for your cruise, as preventative medication is recommended by APT.
Where do I embark and disembark my cruise?
Details on when and where to embark and disembark your cruise will be provided in your final travel documents.
Are APT trips suitable for kids?
Not really. Some families take their children on APT tours and cruises, however it is unlikely you’ll see many, if any. Age restrictions vary depending on your chosen travel style and destination, so your Global Journeys Travel Advisor will be able to provide further information.
What is seat rotation?
Seat rotation means each day you will rotate or change seats onboard the coach to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy front and window seats while touring.
Will I get altitude sickness in South America?
Some parts of Peru, including Cusco and Lake Titicaca, are situated at an altitude of up to 4,000 metres. At these altitudes, the lack of oxygen affects most people to some extent, until they become acclimatised. You can discuss any concerns of altitude sickness with your doctor.
Are my flights within Africa or South America included?
All internal flights, as per your tour itinerary, are included. Please be aware that certain restrictions may apply, so always read the trip notes as outlined by your Global Journeys travel advisor.
Do I need any vaccinations before I leave on my trip?
Some destinations, such as countries in Africa, require travellers to have specific vaccinations before they can travel. Please refer to your particular trip’s notes and discuss all vaccination requirements with your doctor well in advance of leaving for your trip.
When will I receive my travel documents?
You’ll receive your electronic travel documents approximately two to three weeks prior your departure. Make sure you’ve completed your checklist and provided us with all the necessary information before you go.
What happens if my plans change?
APT offer a Deposit Cancellation Cover, which allows you to change or cancel your trip up to 100 days prior to departure. If you’d like this protection included in your quote, please let your Global Journeys Travel Advisor know at the time of enquiry.
Do I need a visa?
You will need to contact the Embassy (Consular Services) of each country on your itinerary for specific visa requirements, information, forms and fees for your nationality. More information can be found here.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is an essential part of your holiday plans. We strongly recommend that you organise your travel insurance at the time you pay your deposit. Be aware when organizing your insurance, that uninsured travelers (or their families) and travelers without the appropriate level of cover, are held personally liable for cancellation, medical and associated costs incurred at any time whether before the cruise, on board or overseas.
