Overview
Experience the fascinating adventure of a journey on the Danube, which takes you from Vienna through the untouched beauty of the Danube Delta. Your journey begins in the imperial city of Vienna, whose majestic architecture, magnificent palaces and diverse museums will transport you back to centuries past. After an enjoyable start, your ship glides on to Belgrade, the pulsating capital of Serbia, which delights with a fascinating mix of Ottoman heritage, communist past and modern city life.
In the small, charming towns of Harsova, Golubac and Vukovar, you can experience the Danube at its most authentic. Green hills, fortified castles and wide floodplain landscapes characterize the picture here. The tranquil atmosphere of these places conveys a feeling of peace, freedom and space.
Another highlight of your journey are the stops in Solt and Bratislava. While Solt scores with Hungarian country life, wine tradition and hospitality, Bratislava surprises with a successful symbiosis of baroque old town, creative art scene and modern architecture.
As a highlight, the route takes you deep into the green heart of the Danube Delta. This unique biosphere reserve, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, impresses with its breathtaking biodiversity, windingwatercourses, dense reed beds and rare birdlife. Here you can experience nature in its purest form - far away from everyday life.
This river cruise is more than just a journey: It is a homage to the Danube and an invitation to discover culture, nature and history along one of Europe's most important rivers in all its facets.

Accommodation & Facilities
Düsseldorf-based river tour operator VIVA Cruises is continuing to grow: after the VIVA ONE (2022) and the VIVA TWO (2023), the third newbuild VIVA ENJOY will join the fleet next year. The ship was previously announced with the working title VIVA THREE, but in keeping with the company motto "Enjoy the Moment", the final name has now been decided. The maiden voyage of the VIVA ENJOY will start on September 22, 2024 from Frankfurt in the direction of Vienna. The tour operator is responding to the increasing demand for river cruises by expanding its fleet. "We have grown strongly over the last five years, as has our customer base and the demand from international guests, especially on the Danube. The third new building in combination with our remaining fleet gives us new scope again, not only with regard to our routings, but also with regard to our international partners and guests," explains Andrea Kruse, Managing Director of VIVA Cruises. The VIVA ENJOY will be the sister ship of the VIVA TWO and therefore identical in design. The ship has a total of 95 outside cabins with space for a maximum of 190 passengers. With a total of three restaurants, an open-plan lounge, a spacious sun deck and a fitness and wellness area, the ship is a floating premium hotel with a new, modern look and a pure feel-good ambience.
