VIVA Cruisestakes the concept of exclusivity and enjoyment to a whole new level with the launch of its brand new VIVA Boutique product, designed to offer a premium experience to guests.
VIVA BEYOND will be the operator's first boutique riverboat, in line with VIVA Boutique, which will set sail in May 2026 and cruise the Seine.
VIVA Boutique will offer an experience that transports guests to a world of exclusivity both on land and on board. Launching in 2026, VIVA BEYOND will be VIVA Cruises' first boutique ship, redefining exclusivity – from its elegant design to the exciting adventures available to guests.
“VIVA Boutique marks another important milestone in the success story of our young company. Developing our own boutique brand was a project very close to our hearts, one we will offer to guests who want to experience something extraordinary. VIVA BEYOND’s maiden voyage will take place on the picturesque Seine in May 2026. The new ship combines the best of both worlds: the comfort of a boutique hotel with the diversity of a river cruise,” says Andrea Kruse, CEO of VIVA Cruises.
VIVA BEYOND, part of the Scylla fleet, will undergo a complete refurbishment in early 2026 to align with the new premium brand. With a spacious sundeck and a high-quality treatment area, relaxation and well-being are guaranteed for the ship's 116 passengers. Guests will have access to state-of-the-art fitness equipment, as well as massages and wellness treatments.
The newest member of the family will have more suites than any other ship in the VIVA Cruises fleet. Guests will be able to choose from twelve suites, four junior suites, and, for the first time, ten spacious master suites.
VIVA BEYOND will embark on its maiden voyage in May 2026, with an eight-day cruise from Paris, through Normandy, to the Atlantic coast, and back to the French capital. Onboard, passengers will enjoy an unparalleled atmosphere that captures the spirit of France. Two shore excursions on the theme of Impressionism will be included in the price for all passengers on the inaugural voyage.
VIVA BEYOND will also feature a comprehensive VIVA All Inclusive product, which includes everything on board, so guests can relax and travel worry-free.
VIVA BEYOND will feature three world-class restaurants, including MOMENTS, where guests will be treated to top-tier culinary delights. Guests will also enjoy a complimentary selection of French treats such as crêpes, macarons, and croissants per voyage, as well as a "VIVA Signature" experience on one of the shore excursions.
Guests staying in a master suite will enjoy additional perks, including breakfast served in their cabins featuring seasonal delicacies and a private cocktail reception with the captain and hotel manager, accompanied by champagne and fine canapés. They will also receive the best table selection in the restaurants and an exclusive shore excursion, included in the cruise price.
VIVA Cruises' new premium travel experience begins on the river. Guests aboard VIVA BEYOND will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of art, culture, and culinary delights of France. Art lovers will experience the Impressionist era by following in the footsteps of great masters like Van Gogh and Monet. Culture enthusiasts will enjoy exploring castles, palaces, and fascinating cities along the Seine, while foodies can savor exquisite delicacies at VIVA Boutique, sample regional wines, and chat and enjoy a drink with renowned chefs.
Unique experiences on land and on board.
Also new are three exclusive excursions. VIVA Boutique offers carefully selected excursions that combine art, culture, and culinary delights with the charm and sophistication of the French lifestyle.
Once on board, guests will enjoy evenings of sophisticated jazz, relaxed swing, and classic sounds from recent decades. A highlight will be the "Paris Pétille" show featuring singer Titi Parisien, which will take guests on a musical journey through the City of Lights.
