The six new premium itineraries include three tours in Patagonia, Indonesia, and Eastern Canada, alongside a trio of solo-focused versions of existing itineraries
The launch forms part of the operator’s continued investment in long-haul touring, with Riviera putting its 2028 programme on sale earlier than ever before to give agents more time to engage customers planning international holidays.
The new itineraries include the 16-day ‘Patagonia: Argentina, Chile & the End of the World’ priced from £6,599 per person; the 15-day ‘Best of Indonesia: Temples, Volcanoes & Islands’ from £3,999 per person; and the 10-day ‘French Canada & Niagara Falls’ from £3,949 per person.
The three solo-focused itineraries include the 13-day ‘Highlights of China for Solo Travellers’ from £4,619 per person; the 11-day ‘Victoria Falls, Botswana Safari & Cape Town for Solo Travellers’ from £4,747 per person; and the 10-day ‘The Silk Road for Solo Travellers’ from £4,429 per person.
Vicky Billing, director of trade, partnerships and loyalty UK & Ireland, said, “The trade continues to play a hugely important role in our long-haul business, accounting for 32% of long-haul bookings so far this year, with long-haul trade sales increasing by 10% year-on-year. By launching our 2028 programme earlier than ever, we give our agent partners more time to engage guests and secure bookings further in advance.
“These new itineraries give agents fresh opportunities to start conversations with guests and respond to growing demand for worldwide touring, while offering the level of product choice and support they need to grow their long-haul sales.”
