APT, leading tour and cruise operator, is thrilled to announce the launch of its Australia 2025 program, showcasing two brand-new cruising experiences and a $5m refurbishment to APT's exclusive Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge.

A standout highlight of the Australia 2025 program is the introduction of the Seabourn Pursuit, a purpose-built ultra-luxury ship offering all-veranda suites, exceptional dining, and a dedicated Expedition Team for an unparalleled exploration along the Kimberley coast.

The Seabourn Pursuit sets sail on the 11-day Kimberley Coastal Expedition, priced from $13,895 per person, inclusive of savings up to $4,600 per couple + 40% off selected cabin upgrades. This luxury voyage includes daily excursions on Zodiac vessels, services of an APT cruise director, and a delightful array of 29 meals and onboard beverages.

Also debuting in 2025 is the PS Australian Star, a luxurious paddle steamer crafted in partnership with Murray River Paddlesteamers. Locally built in Mildura, this wood-fired, five-star vessel promises an unforgettable journey along the tranquil Murray River, complete with three decks and exquisite amenities such as the Randell dining restaurant and Hopwood Lounge.

Embark on an 8-day Retreat to the Murray aboard the PS Australian Star, exploring six enchanting destinations with an APT Tour Director. Experience locally inspired dining, including a riverside BBQ under the stars, and indulge in APT Signature Experiences like onboard wine tasting and guided lantern tours. This all-inclusive cruise offers a wide range of onboard beverages. Pricing starts at $7995 per person, including savings up to $1000 per couple.

Additionally, APT's 4WD adventures in the Kimberley and Outback offer diverse ways to experience Australia's iconic sights, led by expert driver-guides in custom-designed vehicles.

The company's flagship tour in the Kimberley is the 15-day Kimberley Complete which is priced from $13,495 per person, twin share with two-night stays at APT's three exclusive Wilderness Lodges. The key Outback tour is the 11-day Cooktown and Cape York tour which takes guests to the most northern point of Australia. Priced from $8,895 per person, twin share this small group tour of no more than 20 guests and has the services of an expert APT Driver and Tour Director.

Cher Lontok, Head of Product for Australia at APT, expressed excitement about the program, stating, “With APT marking 60 incredible years of exploration in the Australian Outback and nearly 100 years of operation, guests can trust they're in expert hands when they choose us.”

"From remote adventures exploring the Kimberley aboard the luxurious Seabourn Pursuit, to visits at the newly revamped Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge, and the debut of our new itineraries aboard the five-star luxury PS Australian Star sailing the Murray, along with captivating tours of Tasmania and the lush beauty of tropical Queensland, there's an adventure crafted for everyone across Australia's most mesmerizing regions.

“And what sets APT apart is that we're the only company offering the seamless combination of Kimberley cruises with our land journeys, ensuring an adventure like no other," Lontok concludes.

The Australia 2025 program also features small-group journeys, personalised service from expert guides, best-in-class fleet vehicles, exclusive wilderness lodges, and a commitment to advanced ecotourism practices.
