Agents will know Riviera Travel well for its river cruise portfolio, but not so much for its long-haul products. Can you share more about this?

Riviera Travel actually started life as an escorted tour company, so long-haul travel is very much part of our DNA. While our river cruises have grown significantly over the years, we’ve continued to invest heavily in developing a wide-ranging and expertly curated long-haul programme. Our ambition is clear – we want to be the leading escorted long-haul operator by 2030, offering immersive, well-paced itineraries across the world, all delivered with the same quality and value our agents already trust us for.
