European river cruise specialist, VIVA Cruises, has announced the full release of its 2027 river cruise program across its fleet of nine ships.
The launch of the 2027 program is the most comprehensive in VIVA Cruises’ history, featuring new destinations and extended sailing periods. One of the standout moments will be the christening and launch of VIVA UNIQUE in Venice to join VIVA BEYOND in the new VIVA Boutique premium offering.
VIVA Cruises is one of the few river cruise lines to operate the whole year. VIVA ONE, VIVA TWO, VIVA ENJOY, and VIVA BEYOND will begin their sailings in January. February will see the start of cruises on VIVA TIARA and VIVA RUBY, while VIVA MOMENTS and PORTO MIRANTE will launch in March. The fleet will be further enhanced in May with the introduction of VIVA UNIQUE.
New itineraries
VIVA Cruises’ 2027 program introduces a range of exciting new itineraries, including Basel-Brussels, Dresden-Prague, and Amsterdam-Nuremberg. The company has also expanded departures on some of its most popular routes, notably Amsterdam-Budapest, offering guests even more flexibility and choice.
There will also be a full season with 32 departures on the Douro River onboard the extremely popular PORTO MIRANTE, which in 2027 will become a full member of the VIVA Cruises fleet. Guests can also look forward to 3-night “City Stay” cruises in both Paris and Venice.
Exclusive booking incentive
VIVA Cruises will offer special onboard credit based on the length of the cruise. This incentive is valid for bookings made between October 15, 2025, and November 15, 2025.
A Milestone for VIVA Cruises
“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 program earlier than ever before to ensure everyone has the opportunity to plan their perfect river cruise experience.
