royal tour

Sovereign's official travels

A royal tour is an official journey by a member of a royal family to visit regions within their realm or foreign countries.

These tours combine ceremonial duties, diplomatic functions, and public appearances: The Prince and Princess embarked on a royal tour of Australia.

The term sometimes describes any elaborate, heavily scheduled visit with formal receptions at multiple stops.
