VIVA Cruises has unveiled its largest-ever programme for 2028.
Available to book from October 15, 2026 and featuring 332 departures, the programme runs from January to December across seven ships; it will include major European rivers, including the Rhine, Douro, Danube and Dutch Waterways.
In addition, the 2028 season features themed options covering wellness, jazz, culinary and wine itineraries.
Across the season, VIVA will visit four new ports of call: Bingen and Glückstadt in Germany, and Medemblik and Lemmer in the Netherlands, with new excursions including wine tasting at the Disibodenberg Monastery Ruins in Bingen and a visit to the village of Giethoorn when in Lemmer.
Michelle Daniels, director of sales, UK & Ireland and Australia & New Zealand at VIVA Cruises, said:
“Our 2028 programme represents an important step forward, with more departures than ever and an incredibly diverse choice of itineraries designed to offer something for every kind of river cruise guest. From our new Grand European Journey and scenic Dutch waterways to a dedicated wine journey between Basel and Nancy, we are expanding the ways guests can explore a wealth of destinations by river.
“The addition of new ports, experiences and themed cruises also allows returning guests to discover something different, with itineraries showcasing the culture, cuisine, landscapes and character of each destination.”
