VIVA Cruises launching new boutique ship
VIVA Cruises is expanding horizons with the announcement of VIVA UNIQUE, the second ship in its upcoming VIVA Boutique collection fleet.
VIVA UNIQUE will offer boutique-style river cruising in Italy in 2027.
The ship’s themed itineraries will focus on culinary art, and culture and lifestyle.
It will visit lesser-traveled ports of call like the lagoon islands of Mazzorbo and Burano, Chioggia and the scenic countryside surrounding Polesella.
Optional excursions will include Murano, Torcello, Verona, and Bologna with ample time to explore Venice at leisure.
Itineraries also feature Cremona and nearby Mantua, known for historic architecture and musical heritage.
“With VIVA UNIQUE, we’re not just launching a ship – we’re creating a floating experience that celebrates the soul of Italian culture, cuisine and craftsmanship,” said VIVA Cruises CEO, Andrea Kruse.
More than half of the cabins of VIVA UNIQUE are suites, including the newly introduced Unique Suites that offers up to 323 square feet of space.
The ship also features a spacious wellness area, a fitness room and a sun deck with a pool.
Suite guests will be welcomed with priority embarkation, an aperitif and access to airport transfers from Venice.
For those in Unique Suites, the experience is elevated further with in-suite breakfast, seasonal culinary treats, priority dining reservations, and an aperitif with the captain and hotel manager.
All itineraries will feature VIVA Cruises’ signature VIVA All-Inclusive product including beverage and Wi-Fi, plus all gratuities.
