CROWDS WERE SUITABLY WOOED WHEN APT debuted its second Concerto Class rivership MS AmaVerde on Venetian waters this month. Offering accommodation for 161 passengers the new vessel features revolutionary twin balcony suites (as seen on Ms AmaBella launched last year); the largest set of suites on European waterways; an onboard swimming pool; a fireside library and an intimate chef’s table restaurant. AmaVerde was officially christened by her Godmother Judy Vanrenen, a partner with APT’s Geoff McGeary in APT Botanica World Discoveries. Leading up to her christening AmaVerde hosted a series of pre-launch cruises, and is now busy opening up Europe to guests with APT’s 15- day Budapest and Amsterdam itinerary which stops at around 18 villages, towns and cities along the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers.
