APT hosted more
than 500 guests
from Australia and
New Zealand on the
Gallipoli Peninsula last
weekend, with both
land and ocean-based
operations.
On the water, APT’s
own MS Island Sky
as well as a charter
of Ponant’s Le Soleal
were full, while a
special ANZAC land
tour had 105 guests
travelling on behalf of
NZ travel agency group
House of Travel.
APT founder Geoff
McGeary and his son
Robert – pictured with

on Le Soleal, Australian
naval commander
Peter Martin – were on
hand to host the various cruises
and accompany guests on tours
of the region in the lead-up to the
dawn service.
“We are incredibly proud to be
here on the Gallipoli Peninsula
hosting our guests from across
Australia and New Zealand,” said
Geoff McGeary.
“It has been a truly humbling
experience to hear so many
moving stories from our
guests, all of whom are here to
experience this once-in-a-lifetime
event and to pay their respects,
often for very personal reasons,
to the brave young soldiers who
lost their lives here 100 years
ago,” he said.
