What is the difference between an AMA APT cruise and just booking a AMA cruise - is this a special tour or group?

Not all ships with names AmaXxxxx are still run by Ama Waterways. Some older ships are sold or leased out to other operators.

APT (Australian Pacific Travel) certainly operates the ship - everything was APT branded though they may not own it. This itinerary was one of their luxury tours, they also run premium tours which have fewer included options.

Apt (Aust). is part owners with Amawaterways. Branding on the ship is changed when it is used by APT or Amawaterways. I have been on ships where APT used it for our tour then it changed for the next tour to Amawaterways.. APT is all inclusive, (full open bar,tips etc included) and marketed to Australians, New Zealanders.

We were on an AMA ship that had several different groups together. We had AMA people, APT people, Road Scholar people and there was a 4th group that I can't remember.

The AmaVerde still shows up as a ship used by AmaWaterways, although not exclusively it seems.

On my trip on the Mekong (on the AmaDara) we saw the AmaLotus moored in Phnom Penh. It is not currently in use by AmaWaterways.

When we were on the Ama Dara as a APT cruise, we went from Saigon to Seim Reap. AmaWaterways did the return trip. APT now uses Ama Lotus .. APT has their own boat in Mynamar. RV Samatha. Will be going on it next year.

We are booked on the AMA Verde as part of our APT tour August 2018. Can you please tell me if men wore suits and ties to the formal excursions? Don't want to look the odd one out, but travelling from Australia would add to the luggage. Thanks.

was this on Amaverde - October 15 - 29?

If so, we were onboard with you!

We agree that Barty had a clone! He was everywhere

n the MDR, some changed for dinner, though not all.

On the formal excursions (by which I assume you mean Namedy and Liechtenstein), the dress code is smart casual

on our trip there were 99 Aus, 4 NZ, 45 Brits, 1 Canadians, 1 US and 1 Malysian

I have posted my review - but can't find it to give a link! Does it take a while before they appear?

The excursion to the Lichtenstein palace certainly felt like black tie and ball gowns would not be out of place! But no need to bring a suit and tie DH wore nice smart jeans, a roll neck sweater and blazer. Agree totally that formal clothes and long haul flights do not mix but the AMAVerde is very relaxed.

Yes we must have been on the same trip! It took a week for my review to arrive - you will get an email with a link which you can copy when it is posted.

Heavens - it took ages. But here now!
