Coach Trip (series 8)
Coach Trip 8 aired from 30 January to 9 March 2012 after the third celebrity series finished and is the eighth and final series of Coach Trip in the United Kingdom before the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. It was filmed from Monday 29 August until Saturday 1 October 2011 (after the England riots ended). The length of this series was the same as the previous non-celebrity series but with only 1 day of a weekend included at the end of the tour. The Mediterranean tour centring towards Western Asia began in the UK, before moving to the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, North Macedonia (for the first time) and finishing in Turkey. Tour guide Brendan Sheerin, coach driver Paul Donald, narrator Dave Vitty and the coach with registration number MT09 MTT all returned for this series, which was aired on Channel 4 with the airing time moved to 5:30pm again, a similar start to series 3 and a similar end to series 4.

Notes
- ^1 On the morning of Day 11, Felicity & Henry decided to leave the trip, due to Felicity contracting flu.
- ^2 After the vote on Day 12, Gill & Pat were reunited and decided to leave the trip, due to Pat's chest infection.
- ^3 At the end of Day 15, Brendan announced that due to it being the half-way point of the trip, the couple with the most votes would win a special prize. However as every couple received 1 vote, the couples had to unanimously decide which couple should win the prize, this being Nigel & Sarah.
- ^4 At the end of Day 18, Brendan informed Ladi and Tory that he had arranged a flight home for them due to their exhaustion from enjoying the trip and to Ladi's increasing homesickness.
