The launch of the 2027 program is the most extensive in VIVA Cruises , featuring new destinations and longer sailing seasons. One of the highlights will be the christening ceremony and addition of VIVA UNIQUE in Venice, which will join VIVA BEYOND within the new premium VIVA Boutique offering.
VIVA ONE, VIVA TWO, VIVA ENJOY, and VIVA BEYOND will begin operations in January. VIVA TIARA and VIVA RUBY will start their cruises in February, while VIVA MOMENTS and PORTO MIRANTE will begin their seasons in March. The fleet will be completed in May with the addition of VIVA UNIQUE.
New routes
VIVA Cruises' 2027 program includes a selection of new itineraries, most notably Basel–Brussels, Dresden–Prague, and Amsterdam–Nuremberg. The company has also increased departures on some of its most popular routes, particularly Amsterdam–Budapest, to offer passengers greater flexibility and more options when planning their trip.
The Douro River will also feature a full season of 32 sailings aboard the Porto Mirante, a very popular ship that will become a full member of the VIVA Cruises fleet in 2027. Passengers can also enjoy three-night City Stay cruises in Paris and Venice, designed to combine the river cruise experience with a stay in these two cities.
VIVA Cruises will offer a special onboard credit, the amount of which will depend on the cruise duration. This promotion is valid for bookings made between October 15 and November 15, 2025.
“We have never presented an annual schedule so far in advance. This reflects our commitment to innovation, passenger satisfaction, and strengthening our partnerships,” says Andrea Kruse, CEO and co-founder of VIVA Cruises.
“We are delighted to be able to offer our passengers more choices, greater flexibility, and truly unforgettable experiences. Our international clientele has shown us that some markets tend to book further in advance than others. That’s why we are releasing the schedule earlier than ever before, so everyone has the opportunity to plan their ideal river cruise.”.
The VIVA Cruises fleet consists of VIVA TIARA, VIVA MOMENTS, VIVA ONE, VIVA TWO, VIVA ENJOY, VIVA RUBY and PORTO MIRANTE, which will soon be joined by VIVA BEYOND and VIVA UNIQUE, pending their christening.
Each VIVA Cruises ship has specific routes assigned to make the most of the sailing experience on Europe's major waterways.
VIVA TIARA will sail the Rhine, Main, Moselle, and Danube rivers, as well as various canals and tributaries. VIVA MOMENTS will focus on the Rhine and Moselle rivers, while VIVA ONE will operate on the Rhine, Main, and Moselle. VIVA TWO will cover routes on both the Rhine and the Danube.
VIVA ENJOY will be dedicated to itineraries along the Danube and the Rhine, while PORTO MIRANTE will focus on the Douro River. VIVA RUBY, the smallest ship in the fleet, with a capacity for only 80 passengers, will travel along the Rhine, the Elbe, and the Spree, as well as various canals and tributaries, and will even sail on the Baltic Sea.
The new VIVA Boutique line will offer a differentiated premium experience, with elegant boutique-style ships, a majority of suites, lower passenger capacity, and an even more refined gastronomic offering.
Within this new range, VIVA BEYOND will sail along the Seine, while VIVA UNIQUE will explore the Po River and the Venice lagoon, with an exclusive experience that will distinguish it from the rest of the fleet.
