VIVA Cruises will offer a special experience this November: its first gourmet river cruise aboard the VIVA ENJOY, the company's newest ship. A five-day culinary journey along the Danube, departing from and returning to Vienna, focusing on Austria's modern and diverse cuisine.
Onboard, passengers will be guided by a bread sommelier, a master coffee roaster (Johanna Wechselberger), and a wine expert, Romana Echensperger, elevating the dining experience to a new level. The cruise will offer gourmet menus paired with exceptional wines, culinary excursions ashore, and exclusive experiences, such as a private dinner for VIVA Cruises guests at Vienna's Albertina Museum, Central Europe's largest modern art museum.
The itinerary also includes a gourmet tram tour of Vienna, a visit to the renowned Sandgrube 13 winery in Krems, and onboard entertainment. In addition, various culinary experts will offer talks and tastings, making the trip a feast for both the palate and the mind.
“Our guests will embark on a gourmet journey celebrating Austria’s rich culinary heritage,” says Andrea Kruse, CEO of VIVA Cruises. “We are delighted to add bread sommelier and coffee expert Johanna Wechselberger to the program, perfectly aligned with our philosophy of combining fine dining with unforgettable travel experiences.”
The VIVA ENJOY, launched in January 2025, is the newest jewel in the VIVA Cruises fleet. Accommodating up to 190 passengers, with three restaurants, a wellness area, and sustainable features powered by solar energy, it's the ideal setting for this unique epicurean experience.
The gourmet cruise, like all VIVA Cruises itineraries, will feature the flagship VIVA All-Inclusive product, which includes afternoon tea, full board, high-quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, minibar, Rituals brand beauty products, Wi-Fi, and gratuities.
The cruise will depart from Vienna from November 20 to 24, with stops in the cities of Krems, Melk and Linz.
