VIVA Cruises has just released its brand-new 2027 river cruise programme, and it’s packed with fresh routes, returning favourites, and the debut of its VIVA Boutique brand on the River Po and the Seine.


What’s New for 2027


VIVA Cruises is continuing to expand its European offering with a blend of off-the-beaten-track destinations and iconic river routes. Here are some of the key highlights from the 2027 release:


  • VIVA MOMENTS introduces two new routes – sailing from Basel to Brussels and Amsterdam to Nuremberg

  • The VIVA RUBY, described as the line’s “cultural ship,” will offer new itineraries departing from Dresden

  • The much-loved Amsterdam to Budapest route will see extra departures, giving guests even more choice across Europe’s most famous rivers

  • On the Douro, guests can look forward to a full season aboard PORTO MIRANTE, with 32 departures confirmed

  • VIVA’s second boutique ship, the VIVA UNIQUE, will debut on Italy’s Po River, offering a completely new and inspiring destination for river cruise fans


Early Booking Incentive


To mark the launch, VIVA Cruises is offering an onboard credit incentive for early bookers. Guests who book a 2027 sailing by 15 November 2025 will receive:


  • €25 per person onboard credit for cruises of three nights or more using code 25VIVA2027

  • €50 per person onboard credit for cruises of seven nights or more using code 50VIVA2027


The offer excludes group bookings, but it’s a nice bonus for travellers planning ahead.


What’s Included with VIVA All-Inclusive


As always, every sailing in VIVA Cruises’ 2027 programme comes with the line’s signature VIVA All-Inclusive package. That means:


  • All meals included – breakfast, lunch, and dinner with multi-course gourmet menus

  • Freestyle dining with flexible mealtimes in up to three restaurants

  • High-quality drinks – wine, cocktails, and spirits throughout your cruise

  • High Tea once per voyage with scones, sandwiches, macarons, and cakes

It’s a genuine all-inclusive experience that takes away the guesswork and keeps things simple onboard.


Our Thoughts


We love that VIVA Cruises continues to evolve each year, adding new destinations while keeping the relaxed, all-inclusive feel that makes them so popular. The introduction of VIVA UNIQUE on the Po River is especially exciting, giving guests the chance to explore one of Europe’s most underrated waterways.


With expanded itineraries, extra departures on classic routes, and an early-booking bonus, the 2027 programme looks set to be another strong year for the line.
