Health & Wellbeing

Our small group offerings align themselves with social distancing as we have fewer guests in communal areas at one time.
Continuous measures are being taken to ensure the shared spaces and transportation on tour are cleaned and disinfected regularly.
All crew receive professional training and are equipped to escalate illness cases. Our local operations team can also provide support.

As an Australian company with the most experience, most awards for excellence, and most comprehensive domestic travel options, the APT Travel Group always has the safety and wellbeing of guests’ front of mind, and now even more so with the approaching return to travel.
We have been responding to the ever-changing Covid-19 climate by implementing a number of new measures to elevate our health and hygiene protocols giving travellers assurance that they can travel with the APT Travel Group with confidence.
We have adopted the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) recommendations and have actioned our increased health screenings and protocols for all our cruises, both on board and prior to boarding for all passengers and crew, working with the local authorities as well as our own staff to ensure this is being adhered to.
We are adhering to all requirements and recommendations of IG RiverCruise (the industry association representing European River Cruising) to assure the highest level of passenger and crew health and hygiene on our European River Cruises.
We are also liaising with our land suppliers in all of our destinations to ensure their health and safety protocols are of the highest standard, such as hotel sanitisation, coach cleaning processes and more.
