The dark early nights won’t last forever...

On 1st February, the sun sets at around 4:49 PM; by 1st March, it’s about 5:40 PM; and by 1st April, a glorious 7:33 PM—welcoming longer, lighter days to savour.

From the sun deck of a luxury river cruise to a mountainside overlooking Mount Fuji, there’s nothing quite like taking in a sunset on a Riviera Travel adventure.

Here's a few stunning sunsets from our guests and colleagues captured from around the world: 🌅

Costa Rica – Tour Manager Luis
Japan – Colleague Will
The Danube – Guest Emma aboard the William Wordsworth
Croatia – Colleague Lee
The Rhine – Guest Adam aboard the Geoffrey Chaucer

It means you can book early with complete confidence, knowing you’re securing our very best prices.

It’s our way of making sure your journey starts as smoothly as it continues.

Words and wonders from our Grand Journey Through India's Golden Triangle & Shimla tour…

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Keith: "A fantastic once-in-a-lifetime trip which involved amazing experiences. Well thought out and planned, organised and managed extremely well, with stays in some wonderful hotels."

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yvonne: "We enjoyed our holiday to India immensely. It was extremely varied, and we appreciated touring the Golden Triangle, Ranthambore National Park, and Shimla on the same trip."

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Kenneth: "The best holiday I have had with Riviera or any other tour. What made it so good was our wonderful tour guide, Mat Purse. He was funny, friendly, very knowledgeable, and perfectly organised. He was a delight to be with."

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Marian: "A well-organised trip. The local guides and the tour manager were both excellent and ensured we got a glimpse of this amazing place. Had experiences and saw sights that would have been extremely difficult to arrange independently."
