Riviera Travel has vowed to double down on its commitment to agents in the UK after business through the travel trade "exceeded" the escorted touring and river cruise specialist's expectations during the first half of the year.

Head of Trade Amanda Docherty praised Riviera Travel's agent partners after the company reported a strong mid-year performance

Year-to-date results show passengers booked through UK agents have increased by 27% year-on-year, while revenue has grown by 33%, Riviera reported. River cruise continues to lead the way for Riviera, with trade passenger numbers up by 33% year-on-year and revenue by 35%.

Riviera said the results showed how confident agents are about recommending the company to their customers. It added growth had been supported by the "strong performance" of its solo river cruise programme, which has seen Riviera launch its first dedicated ship for solos and add more solo traveller capacity.
