Escorted touring specialist APT has released its new 2019 Canada and Alaska programme, featuring 12 itineraries.


It features two touring styles: APT’s fully-inclusive Luxury holidays and APT Essential tours. Highlights include the Rocky Mountains, Canada’s east and west coasts and Alaska’s Inside Passage. There are four Luxury


itineraries and six Essential trips to western Canada and one of each to eastern Canada in the new range. Agents are encouraged to take APT’s Canada and Alaska online training module to boost product knowledge on the destinations. Paul Melinis, managing director


for the UK and Europe, said: “Canada and Alaska are incredible destinations and we believe they offer more opportunities. “The key to selling even more of this product to clients is engagement and education.” Early-booking discounts of up to


£400 per couple are available for reservations made by October 31. A social media incentive has also been launched to give agents the chance to win an iPad if they share a post that completes the phrase ‘I love Canada because…’, on Facebook or Twitter by August 3. APT’s most-popular Canada and Alaska itinerary among UK customers is the 20-day Rockies Explorer & Alaska Cruise, priced from £7,845. It takes guests from Vancouver through the Rockies to Banff with GoldLeaf service on the Rocky Mountaineer train, coach travel to Lake Louise, Jasper, Sun Peaks and Whistler, followed by a seven-night Holland America Line cruise through the Inside Passage. A 20-day Passage Through the


Rockies and Alaska cruise, priced from £4,695, includes a Calgary to Vancouver tour and Holland America Line cruise of the Inside Passage to the Alaskan capital of Juneau, followed by Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. APT holidays are all-inclusive


and include flights from the UK. apt-experts.co.uk
