Between Savoir Vivre & La Dolce Vita with VIVA Boutique
Between French savoir vivre and Italian dolce vita, guests on our boutique river cruises experience the most beautiful blend of two lifestyles.
With VIVA Boutique, we've created a travel experience that goes far beyond the classic cruise. It combines the exclusivity of a high-quality, modern ship with the freedom of waking up every day in a new, fascinating city—all while enjoying all the amenities of a boutique hotel.
Our VIVA BEYOND will bring this philosophy to the Seine in beautiful France in 2026. But for 2027, we're taking a bold step further: With the VIVA UNIQUE, we're opening up a completely new river route for our guests – the Po River in Italy. For our CEO & Co-Founder Andrea Kruse, this is a project close to our hearts, and one that's guaranteed to inspire you too.
We look forward to welcoming you on board for an unforgettable journey that celebrates life!
Two countries, one face
Between French savoir vivre and Italian dolce vita, guests on our boutique river cruises experience the most beautiful blend of two lifestyles. While the VIVA BEYOND glides stylishly along the Seine through the elegance and culture of France, the VIVA UNIQUE whisks guests away on the Po River to the world of pleasure and joie de vivre of Italy. A journey that combines culinary highlights, charming cities, and Mediterranean flair – both incomparable and inspiring.
At our hotel, it's all about making your stay special – and that starts right from the moment you arrive. While a welcome aperitif is served in the Junior Suite, our Beyond/Unique Suite or Suite guests can expect even more.
