Disappointed with APT cruise 5 , Australia, Jun 2013
The service provided by Global Journeys is very good along with competitive pricing. However, the cruise I chose was a disappointment. My APT experience was not as good as I have experienced with another river cruise company I have travelled with (in terms of the quality of the meals, the level of noise/vibration of the ship and the places visited). ...read more APT have only recently added the Seine cruise to their itineraries, and therefore my experience may reflect that this is still a work in progress. However, if I was to be asked whether I would recommend this tour it would be difficult to do so. Certainly if a person has a passion for art, the Seine cruise does include visits to Monet's Garden and to the town where Van Gogh lived for a short while. That said, both of these could be easily done as day trips from Paris. Other places visited, such as Honfleur and some of the Normandy abbeys, necessitate bus trips (including a day long trip) as the ship can only travel part of the way along the Seine. While the APT platinum cruises also include all drinks (with the exception of 'premium' beverages) and optional tours, I did not think these were worth the extra cost compared to other cruise companies. I think that the Rhine and Danube Rivers offer far more to interest the river cruiser and the greater number of companies sailing these rivers means generally better value for money.
