Viva Cruises launches 2027 itineraries with two-ship boutique offering

Viva Cruises has put its 2027 programme for its nine-ship fleet on sale.

The programme is “the most comprehensive” in the specialist’s history, with two new ships in its Viva Boutique offering, Viva Beyond and Viva Unique joining the line-up with itineraries in Venice and Paris.

The full season includes new itineraries on the Basel to Brussels, Dresden to Prague and Amsterdam to Nuremberg routes, plus expanded departures for Amsterdam to Budapest sailings.

The European river cruise operator will also offer 32 departures on the Douro River on Porto Mirante as well as three-night ’City Stay’ cruises in Paris and Venice.

To coincide with the launch, Viva Cruises will offer a special onboard credit incentive based on the length of cruises for new bookings made between October 15 and November 15.

Viva Cruises chief executive Andrea Kruse said: “This is the earliest we have ever launched an annual programme and it reflects our commitment to innovation, guest satisfaction and strong partnerships.

“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 programme earlier than ever before - to ensure everyone has the opportunity to plan their perfect river cruise experience.”
