New brochure: APT Kimberley Cruising 2012
APT launches 2012 Kimberley Cruises
APT is offering 40 departures across seven cruise-land tour combinations in its new 2012 Kimberley Cruising brochure.
The spectacularly remote and dramatic Kimberley coast is presented by APT with Coral Princess Cruises’ luxury small ships Oceanic Discoverer (76 passengers) and the Coral Princess (48) while the land component is covered by APT’s 4WD Small Group Adventures which include accommodation in APT’s exclusive network of wilderness lodges.
APT’s General Manager Marketing, Debra Fox said that while Coral Princess Cruises and APT were like-minded Australian companies which were proud of their eco-tourism heritage, their product style and standards were also aligned.
“Our land touring-coastal cruising combinations really reach all the fascinating sites of this big wow-factor destination in the one trip,” she said.
The brochure offers savings of up to $2700 per couple on selected departures if booked by January 31, 2012.
