<\/b><\/p>\n

Award winning luxury cruise and tour operator, APT, has announced it will launch a new ship and new river cruise program on Myanmar\u2019s Ayeyarwaddy (Irrawaddy) River.<\/p>\n

APT will offer guests the choice of two exclusive APT-only sailings in February and April 2015 aboard its new AmaPura river ship as well as joint sailings, along with partner AmaWaterways, from November 2014.<\/p>\n

Full details of itineraries and pricing will be made available in January 2014 but travel trade partners and guests are being encouraged to pre-register their interest early as APT anticipates high demand.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the news, Debra Fox, APT\u2019s General Manager Marketing, said, \u201cThese are exciting times for APT, especially with the launch of our new ship in Myanmar. It\u2019s a unique and spellbinding destination and one that has previously been out of reach to the Australian travelling public. Therefore we are anticipating high demand and would encourage guests to pre-register their interest early. We\u2019re looking forward to helping our guests explore this fascinating destination in depth while enjoying the all-inclusive luxury signature style that is synonymous with an APT river cruise.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the world\u2019s most secretive, mysterious and fascinating places, Myanmar has a unique centuries-old culture and spectacular architectural wonders, including sacred structures gilded with gold leaf and encrusted with precious gems. APT\u2019s river cruises are carefully crafted to hit all the country\u2019s highlights:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Bagan \u2013 A cultural treasure trove of more than 2,200 temples, stupas and pagodas, on par with Cambodia\u2019s massive Angkor Wat temple complex.
\u00b7 Mandalay \u2013 The country\u2019s last royal capital and second largest city, the \u201cGolden City\u201d of Mandalay is regarded as Myanmar\u2019s cultural heart, renowned for its master craftsmen and its patronage of the arts.
\u00b7 Mount Popa \u2013 The stunning shrine perched at the top of Mt. Popa is considered the legendary home of spirit gods worshipped by Burmese Buddhists.
\u00b7 Ancient Royal Cities \u2013 Inwa (Ava) was the capital of the Burma for more than 400 years, Amarapura has the world\u2019s longest teak bridge, Sagaing is famous for its tranquil atmosphere, and Mingun has many historic sites to explore.
\u00b7 Yangon (Rangoon) \u2013 The \u201cGarden City of the East,\u201d retains much of its colonial charm with cobblestoned streets, tree-lined avenues and Victorian architecture.<\/p>\n

Guests will cruise the Ayeyarwaddy aboard the newly built all-suite AmaPura (2014), a 56-passenger vessel furnished with a combination of modern and traditional motifs. All 28 spacious suites feature a balcony (a French Balcony, a step-out Full Balcony or Twin Balconies), a well-appointed en suite bathroom and many other deluxe amenities. The ship\u2019s elegant public areas include a restaurant, main lounge and bar, gift shop, spa, refreshing pool and a Sun Deck perfect for lounging, enjoying a cool drink, or simply gazing out at the passing scenery.<\/p>\n
