We just did a Rhone cruise with Viva a couple of months ago. It was wonderful- very comfortable room, unlimited drinks, excellent tours, excellent service, and the food! Oh, the food! Can't say enough about how fantastic the food was. Our cruise director was great and very helpful. Almost all of the passengers were Europeans - mostly Germans, some Norwegians, a few Belgians plus a group of Russian speaking Israeli's. Besides myself and my girlfriend, there were only two other Americans, which was fine by me. Everything was done in German and English, so communication was never a problem. The weather did not allow us to make the jaunt up the Saone, but that certainly wasn't Viva's fault. One of the most telling aspects of this was being in the Lyon Airport on the way back, was hearing some of the horror stories of passengers from other Rhone cruisers (other companies). And then there's the price point - much less than other lines! We cannot recommend Viva highly enough!!!!!!
I had the same experience. I was unsure of what to expect but it was outstanding overall, with incredible food. The price is much more affordable than similar all inclusive lines. I also enjoyed an international mix of travelers. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for checking out this video (and all my videos, really!). I really appreciate it. I hope they can help you get some good information to make your best travel choices and have a better trip.Please like and subscribe if you haven't already.

Thanks for sharing your video. It was very interesting for me to see the places you visited. I will be doing the same tour as you next year in April, also on Viva Two. May I ask in which month you did this river cruise. Thanks in advance. Greetings from Belgium.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. We had a fabulous time. A beautiful ship with delicious food and fun nightly entertainment. We took our cruise in May. Happy travels!
Thanks for doing this - nice filming, easy to watch and enjoyable. Did they offer a tour of the Abbey at Melk? That’s in my list doing the Danube cruise. Will go and check out Viva now!
We just did a Viva Cruise on the Rhône, and it was great. On ou r cruise, most of the passengers were German speaking, but it varies with each cruise. The crew was multilingual, our tours were with English speaking local guides, and the food on board was fabulous. All in all, a much better value than the cruise lines targeting Americans.
Hi there. They had the standard city tour or similar for their included excursion in each port. They offer some premium tours, too, that you would pay for. It is a beautiful ship. Happy cruising!
Thank you. I thought I had seen on one of their videos that they do but it's not very obvious on the site. I am looking at 2025 Christmas Markets with them because they do the Vltava :) @@InTheLoopTravel
Yes thanks for the clarification - I agree, their site makes it seem like you have to pay. This seems like the perfect cruise line for my husband and I!!😊
Do you happen to remember how much the premium tours were as well? Like how much was your day trip to Salzburg, for example? Also thanks for the gorgeous video! I’ll be on this route with Viva 2 next year and I just can’t wait!
Very nice video. I have had this cruise line on my radar. It looks wonderful and offers more than some off the cruise l8nes thar are advertised heavily in the U.S. Thank you for sharing.

Great video bro 👊🏻
Thank you!
Was this a 7 day cruise? Also, how much time did you have to visit each place?
Hi there. Thanks for watching. Yes, a seven day cruise with eight to 10 hours in each port. Happy cruising!
@@InTheLoopTravel thank you
Also, you said that they do include one excursion per port. I didn't see that on the screen. Does it say that on their site anywhere?
Hi there. They had the standard city tour or similar for their included excursion in each port. They offer some premium tours, too, that you would pay for. It is a beautiful ship. Happy cruising!

I am looking to book with them in Nov/Dec 2025. Do you book with them and do you offer any "perks" for booking through you?
I am not a travel agent.
Thank you for letting me know. You should be :). @@InTheLoopTravel
