APT is launching a 28-page stand alone USA brochure showcasing its luxury land tours, Mississippi River Cruising and West Coast Air Cruising.
Comprising five itineraries ranging from nine to 25 days in length and available from 27 September, the new brochure is designed to make it easier for agents to differentiate the program from APT’s other North American, Canada & Alaska product.
Says Debra Fox, APT’s General Manager Marketing, “The USA is enjoying a revival amongst Australian travellers who love the contrasts between its energetic cities, iconic attractions and stunning national parks. With a rapidly expanding portfolio and an exciting range of travel styles in this destination, we felt it was time for the USA to stand proud with a brochure all of its own. The itineraries are spectacular and, in our opinion, well worthy of their own shelf space.”

Priced from $12,195, per person, twin share, the trip comprises an 11-night land journey, starting with two nights in New Orleans, prior to a seven night river cruise from New Orleans to Memphis on board the newest and finest ship on the Mississippi – the boutique-sized Queen of the Mississippi paddlewheeler, of which APT has exclusivity.
