Coach Trip is a British reality television game show that involves ordinary couples, with a pre-existing relationship, board a coach and travel to destinations around Europe. Those who board the coach must also try to avoid periodic eliminations. The show was renewed for a ninth series following a lengthy hiatus; the eighth series aired back in 2012 before the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
