Riviera Travel has launched six premium itineraries as part of its 2028 long-haul collection, which has been released earlier than ever before.
The escorted tour operator has three new tours in Patagonia, Indonesia and Eastern Canada, plus solo traveller versions of three existing itineraries.
Vicky Billing, director of trade, partnerships and loyalty UK & Ireland at Riviera Travel, 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.”
Christian Locke, head of long-haul at Riviera Travel, commented: “The addition of Indonesia, French Canada and Patagonia introduces three very distinct touring experiences, from glaciers and icefields to volcanic landscapes and characterful cities.
“Each itinerary has been designed to showcase a different side of its destination.”
The 16-day Patagonia: Argentina, Chile & the End of the World tour costs from £6,599 and combines the cities of Buenos Aires and Santiago with Patagonia and a stay in Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city.
Best of Indonesia: Temples, Volcanoes & Islands is a 15-day tour from £3,999, taking clients from Java and Mount Bromo to Komodo National Park and Bali.
The 10-day French Canada & Niagara Falls tour features Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls.
The new solo-focused versions of three existing itineraries are Highlights of China for Solo Travellers; Victoria Falls, Botswana Safari & Cape Town for Solo Travellers; and The Silk Road for Solo Travellers.
The six additions take Riviera’s long-haul portfolio to 46 tours.
