VIVA Cruises has unveiled the 2028 programmes for its two VIVA Boutique ships, VIVA BEYOND and VIVA UNIQUE. They include a new Champagne-themed sailing, specialist culinary and cultural departures, and the introduction of a Venice Carnival city stay option.
The 112-guest VIVA BEYOND will operate on the Seine from February to December, while 104-guest VIVA UNIQUE will sail in Italy from February to December, with itineraries across the Po River and Venetian Lagoon.
VIVA BEYOND will offer a mix of three-, five-, six- and seven-night itineraries including a three-night ‘Paris City Stay’, five-night ‘Seine from Paris’ and a seven-night ‘Culinary Cruise France’.
VIVA UNIQUE will offer a mix of three-, five-, six- and seven-night cruises including three-night ‘Venice City Stay’, five-night ‘Lagoon Love & Dolce Vita’ and a Seven-night ‘Culture and the Sweet Life in the Lagoon’.
Michelle Daniels, director of sales, UK & Ireland and Australia & New Zealand at VIVA Cruises, said:
“Our 2028 Boutique programme brings together new itineraries, themed cruises and regional experiences across France and Italy. From sparkling wines on the Seine to celebrated culinary traditions in Northern Italy, our itineraries offer guests the opportunity to explore each region in depth. With enhanced experiences, new extensions and a wealth of onboard extras, we’re continuing to develop a more personalised and immersive way to discover these regions.”
