APT Solara and Ostara

[reeves35]

WIth APT terminating its longstanding partnership with Amawaterways at the end of 2024, APT has released information about its 2 new ships that will launch in 2025, the Solara and Ostara.  In a striking all-black livery, the 2 ships will hold 154 passengers and 60 crew. 

 

Two ships will represent a reduction of capacity from its current leased AMA fleet so I assume extra ships will join in coming years.  As well as these 2 new ships, APT's other brand Travelmarvel will continue with its 3 riverships (Polaris, Capella, Vega) that were built over the pandemic and began operations in 2022.

Thank you. Here is an article from travelweekly uk: https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tour-operators/apt-to-launch-two-new-ships-in-europe-next-spring

The vessels change but it seems that two signature events - both are exclusive to APT I believe - will be the same. Namedy Castle is a great place to have such an event.

Is it just me, or does this ship look like a Dolphin with its mouth open?
