Riviera Travel to start river cruise on Nile

Riviera Travel has published details of its European and Worldwide 2017/18 collection, which includes details of its first cruise on the River Nile.

The escorted touring and river cruise specialist will also be running holidays in Thailand, Costa Rica and Burma as part of its long-haul programme.

For Egypt, guests can book either an 11-day (Pyramids to Luxor) or 15-day itinerary (Pyramids to Aswan) itinerary.

“We’re proud to announce our brand new European and Long Haul collection for 2017/18, including an exciting selection of new tours, as well as a new river cruise along the River Nile,” Joseph Grimley, head of agency sales at Riviera Travel, said.

“It’s important for us to be on top of market trends and listen to our agents’ feedback. This feedback allows us to revisit and revamp our tours, as well as release brand new ones, which is why we have added additional attractions to the Costa Rica tour and brought back the Marrakesh tour in the collection too.”
