Riviera launches 12 new Grand tours and smaller group sizes

The operator has added 12 new Grand European tours to its roster, while limiting group tours to a maximum of 36 guests for its 2025 Classic tours programme following feedback.

The new Grand tours include the nine-day ‘Bordeaux & Paris’ rom £2,259 per person; the 10-day ‘Spain’s Andalucía’ from £1,999 per person; and the 13-day ‘Lake Garda, Venice & the Best of the Veneto’ from £2,299 per person. The tours will have an average group size of 22 guests.

Alongside the Grand tours, Riviera has also expanded its solo offering with three new tours, as well as one brand new walk and discover holiday.

The new solo adventures include the four-day itinerary to Krakow from £919 per person; a six-day ‘Slovenia & Lake Bled’ trip from £1,599 per person; and the eight-day ‘Istanbul, Ephesus & Troy’ itinerary from £2,199 per person.

Tours will go on sale on March 13th, 2024, and any bookings made before April 30th for the 2025 Classic and Signature Tours collection will benefit from £100 savings when booking six nights or longer.

Joanne Lynn, head of product short haul for Riviera, shares her excitement about the new tours, promising they will “push the boundaries of exploration by mixing classic destinations with exclusive, small-group visits.” Lynn also shared how the limited-group sizes will “enhance the guest experience even further.”
