APT set for bookings boost after hosting Jane McDonald

APT’s 8-day Balkan Gems Luxury River Cruise will feature in the next episode of Cruising with Jane McDonald, due to air tonight.

It’s the first APT cruise for McDonald, who will start on land with an exclusive Signature Experience, following in the footsteps of Austrian royalty aboard the Grand Empress steam train.

After visiting the Godollo Palace, she will board the AmaVerde for a cruise from Budapest to Bucharest, ending with a land extension to Brasov to see the famous Bran Castle.

Paul Melinis, APT’s UK & Europe managing director, said: "It was our pleasure to host Jane on one of APT’s Balkan river cruises, taking her through magnificent countries in central Europe such as Serbia and Romania along the lower Danube.

"As a region which is steeped in rich modern history entwined with extraordinary natural beauty, it’s certainly going to inspire people to cruise into this lesser travelled part of Europe."

The programme is on Channel 5 at 9pm tonight (Friday December 13).
