APT Launches 100-Day Ultimate World Tour for 2027
APT Luxury Travel has revealed a 100‑day “Ultimate World Tour” for its centenary year in 2027, blending river cruising, wilderness touring and rail into one continuous itinerary across 13 countries. Priced from AU$100,000 per person, the journey is a one‑time‑only departure that showcases APT’s hallmark regions, from the Kimberley and Europe’s rivers to Canada’s Rockies, the Mekong, New Zealand and the Murray River.
Full details and booking information are available on the official page: APT 100 Day World Tour.
Seven Segments, One Seamless Journey
Departing Melbourne on 19 July 2027 and finishing back in the city on 27 October 2027, the itinerary is built from seven linked segments that can be taken as a full 100‑day experience or individually.
According to APT’s centenary tour overview, the structure looks like this:
Days 1–17: The Kimberley, Australia
Small‑group 4WD exploration from Broome through waterfalls, gorges and coastal highlights, staying in APT’s luxury wilderness lodges.
Days 18–38: Central Europe
Three nights in Prague, then a 14‑night Danube–Main–Rhine river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam aboard APT Ostara or APT Solara, taking in Europe’s storied capitals and riverside towns.
Days 39–48: Spain & Portugal
A seven‑night Douro cruise from Porto aboard MS Estrela, then overland to Madrid for two nights in the Spanish capital.
Days 49–64: Canada & the Rockies
Fly to Vancouver, board the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff in GoldLeaf service, then tour through Lake Louise, Jasper, Whistler, Vancouver and Victoria across the Canadian Rockies.
Days 65–74: Vietnam & Cambodia (Mekong)
A seven‑night Mekong cruise on Mekong Serenity, framed by three nights in Siem Reap (for Angkor) and two nights in Ho Chi Minh City, with all‑inclusive sightseeing.
Days 75–87: New Zealand’s South Island
A 12‑night exploration of South Island icons such as Milford Sound and alpine landscapes, combining classic coach touring with Signature Experiences.
Days 88–100: Victoria & the Murray River, Australia
Return to Australia for a seven‑night Murray River cruise aboard the new PS Australian Star, followed by Victorian touring that links the Murray back to Melbourne, APT’s home base.
APT notes that the journey “blends 4WD remote exploration, classic coach touring and luxury river cruising into a single, extraordinary experience,” with all connecting flights included.
All-Inclusive Luxury Across 13 Countries
