APT has waived air surcharges for new bookings on European river cruises for this year.
Air surcharges of up to $1,400 per person have been waived for peak Jun and Jul departures, while surcharges of up to $700 per person have been dropped for shoulder season (Mar-May, Aug-Dec).
The full $1,400 waiver is available on the following itineraries: ‘Magnificent Europe’; ‘Magnificent Europe Cruise with Paris & Prague Stays’; and ‘Magnificent Europe Cruise combined with a Classic Journey: Switzerland by Rail, Eastern Bloc, Emerald Ireland, and Iconic Italy’.
The $700 waiver is available on the following tours: ‘Magnificent Europe’; ‘Magnificent Europe Cruise with Paris & Prague Stays’; and ‘Magnificent Europe Cruise combined with a Classic Journey: Switzerland by Rail, Eastern Bloc, Emerald Ireland, Iconic Italy, Festive Switzerland, Festive Christmas Markets, and Voyage through the Balkans’.
APT said it identified a challenge for its travel agent partners, who have been unable to provide airfares in conjunction with its river cruises at an affordable cost.
General Manager Sales Scott Ellis stated the initiative has come at a great time, as air fares rise.
“Our aim is to make the booking process with APT as simple as possible,” he said.
“By identifying there was a bit of a pain point for agents and also for guests, we are pleased to be able to provide the excellent solution of waiving surcharges.
“With demand for travel pushing the price of flights up, it is the perfect time to recommend an APT European river cruise and take advantage of the airfare surcharge being waived.”
