Overview

Experience summer along the majestic waterways of Europe - the Rhine, Main and Danube - in a very special way. Your journey begins in Basel, where the Rhine flows gently out of the Alps. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, blooming meadows and green valleys, a city rich in culinary and cultural delights awaits you, making it the perfect place to start.

In Strasbourg, the heart of Alsace, marvel at the impressive Gothic cathedral and enjoy a stroll through the picturesque tanners' quarter as the city glows in warm sunlight. Continue on to Frankfurt, where glass skyscrapers coexist harmoniously with old half-timbered houses - an exciting contrast between tradition and modernity.

Würzburg impresses with its baroque residence, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a magnificent view of the vineyards. In Nuremberg, medieval city walls, romantic squares and lively summer festivals bring history to life.

Your journey continues to Linz, where modern art and traditional culture come together. In Melk, the magnificent Melk Abbey, situated high above the Danube, impresses with a fantastic view of the summery river landscape.

The crowning glory of your trip is Vienna - the city of music and Empress Sisi. Stroll through the magnificent palace gardens, be enchanted by a concert or enjoy a glass of wine in a cozy pub garden.

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.
