APT Luxury Travel has unveiled a 100-day global itinerary to mark its centenary in 2027, stitching together river cruising, rail journeys and wilderness touring into a single, all-inclusive product. Priced from AU$100,000 per person, the one-time-only departure targets high-net-worth travellers seeking a choreographed, logistics-free experience across 13 countries.
The journey departs Melbourne on 19 July 2027 and returns on 27 October 2027. It is structured as seven linked segments that can be booked individually or as a full 100-day package. APT positions the tour as a condensed version of multiple bucket-list trips, with all connecting flights, transfers, porterage, port charges, park fees and gratuities included.
Seven Segments Spanning Five Continents
The itinerary begins in Australia’s Kimberley region (Days 1–17), where guests explore by 4WD from Broome, staying in APT’s luxury wilderness lodges. From there, the tour moves to Central Europe (Days 18–38) for three nights in Prague followed by a 14-night Danube–Main–Rhine river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam aboard APT Ostara or APT Solara.
Days 39–48 cover Spain and Portugal, starting with a seven-night Douro cruise from Porto on MS Estrela, then overland to Madrid for two nights. The next leg (Days 49–64) takes guests to Canada, where they board the Rocky Mountaineer in GoldLeaf service from Vancouver to Banff, followed by touring through Lake Louise, Jasper, Whistler, Vancouver and Victoria.
Days 65–74 focus on Southeast Asia with a seven-night Mekong cruise on Mekong Serenity, bookended by three nights in Siem Reap (for Angkor) and two nights in Ho Chi Minh City. New Zealand’s South Island (Days 75–87) features a 12-night exploration of Milford Sound and alpine landscapes via classic coach touring with Signature Experiences. The tour concludes in Victoria (Days 88–100) with a seven-night Murray River cruise aboard the new PS Australian Star, followed by touring that links the Murray back to Melbourne.
APT notes that the journey “blends 4WD remote exploration, classic coach touring and luxury river cruising into a single, extraordinary experience.” The product is designed for travellers who value end-to-end management of logistics, connections and experiences.
All-Inclusive Positioning and Pricing
The 100 Day World Tour is all-inclusive, covering seven major tours or cruises, river cruising on four vessels, stays in APT wilderness lodges, all sightseeing including Freedom of Choice options, GoldLeaf service on the Rocky Mountaineer, and escorting by APT Cruise Directors, Tour Directors, Local Guides and Driver-guides. Fares start at AU$100,000 per person, reflecting the premium positioning and the breadth of inclusions.
APT describes the tour as a one-time-only centenary journey, and expects strong interest from past guests and serious luxury travellers. Prospective clients can review the full day-by-day breakdown, ship details and inclusions at aptouring.com/en-au/apt-100-day-world-tour, or contact APT or a preferred travel advisor for cabin categories, waitlists and segment-only bookings.
The launch comes as luxury travel operators increasingly compete for high-spending clients with curated, multi-modal itineraries. For travel advisors, the product offers a high-commission opportunity with a clear value proposition: a single booking that covers multiple bucket-list destinations without the client needing to coordinate separate components.
