Riviera Travel mixes beach stays with new escorted tours

Eight long-haul escorted tours, including new extended beach stays on some itineraries, have been introduced by Riviera Travel for 2024.

Five holidays to Asia and the Middle East combine Riviera’s traditional tours with several days at a coastal location. They are offered alongside three Kenya safari or Japan options.

Beach stays are featured on tours in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Jordan and Vietnam.

All itineraries, which went on sale on Monday, include guided tours, visits, curated activities and multi-night stopovers at prominent locations. 

The tours form part of Riviera’s worldwide programme for next year. It comprises a further 29 itineraries with 205 departures.

Head of strategy and innovation Will Sarson said: “Our research has shown that guests have an appetite for long-haul, adventure holidays, now more than ever, which has led to the release of these new escorted tour itineraries. 

“They offer an array of eye-catching options at stunning locations around the world, with many including the choice to relax and recharge at a premium coastal destination.

“From the wildlife wonders of the Kenyan reserves, to the jaw-dropping neon attractions of Tokyo, to the calming beaches of Asia, there is something to satisfy the wanderlust of anyone looking to explore the world next year. 

“We’re confident guests on our 2024 tours will find the perfect balance of expert guided insight and independent adventure.”
