Year-round deployment across nine ships
VIVA Cruises remains one of the few river cruise companies operating throughout the year. For 2027:
- January sailings: VIVA ONE, VIVA TWO, VIVA ENJOY, VIVA BEYOND
- February sailings: VIVA TIARA, VIVA RUBY
- March sailings: VIVA MOMENTS, PORTO MIRANTE
- May sailings: Introduction of VIVA UNIQUE
The fleet will operate across Europe’s Rhine, Danube, Moselle, Seine, Elbe and Douro rivers, as well as selected canals and coastal routes.
VIVA Cruises has introduced several new routes for 2027, including:
- Basel – Brussels
- Dresden – Prague
- Amsterdam – Nuremberg
The line will also increase departures on popular Amsterdam – Budapest routes and operate a full Douro River season with 32 departures aboard PORTO MIRANTE, now a full fleet member. Guests will also have the option of 3-night “City Stay” cruises in Paris and Venice.
Strategic expansion and new boutique product
“This is the earliest we have ever launched an annual program, and it reflects our commitment to innovation, guest satisfaction, and strong partnerships,” said Andrea Kruse, CEO and Co-Founder of VIVA Cruises. “We’re excited to offer more choice, greater flexibility, and truly unforgettable experiences to our guests than ever before. With our international mix of guests, we know that some markets tend to book earlier than others, which is why we’re launching our progrVIVAm earlier than ever before to ensure everyone has the opportunity to plan their perfect river cruise experience.”
The new VIVA Boutique line will feature smaller, elegant ships focused on premium experiences, with fewer guests, spacious suites and refined dining. VIVA BEYOND will sail the Seine while VIVA UNIQUE will operate in Northern Italy on the Po River and Venetian Lagoon.
