Depends how you define Astral Travelling. The two common most used routes are Mentally travelling, and full blown Out of Body Experiences (OOBE). And in reality these are both somewhat the same thing - just at slightly different parts of the same scale.
The short instructions in NAP gradually build up and allow you to shift your awareness from the physical, so really just depends on how far you want to take it - as there really isn't a big jump between Mentally Wandering and full blown Astral Projection.
Don't flame me for saying this, as I know there are flaws in this statement - but GENERALLY speaking, one can perform the same sorts of tasks in either state.
