Riviera Travel has recorded a standout mid-year performance in the trade, with passenger numbers and revenue both delivering impressive double-digit growth as a result of the continued support from travel agent partners.
Year-to-date results show UK trade passenger numbers have increased by 27% year-on-year, while revenue has grown by 33%.
River cruise continues to lead the way, with trade passenger numbers up 33% year-on-year and revenue increasing by 35%. Growth has been supported by the strong performance of its solo river cruise programme, following the launch of its dedicated solo ship and the continued expansion of its solo offering.
Touring has also delivered solid growth, with passenger numbers rising by 10% and revenue up 19%, as agents continue to drive demand across both European and long-haul programmes.
Speaking on the recorded figures, Amanda Docherty, Head of Trade UK & Ireland at Riviera Travel, said: “These results are a true reflection of the strength of our partnerships across the trade, and we’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from our agent community.”
“Seeing such strong growth across both passenger numbers and revenue is hugely encouraging and highlights the confidence agents have in Riviera Travel and our product portfolio.”
Docherty continued, “Our partners have fully embraced everything we’ve introduced—from enhanced tools to commercial initiatives—and their passion and expertise have been instrumental in driving this success.”
