Shore excursions & land activities

The VIVA Voyage focuses on immersive land-based exploration rather than underwater activities. Guests are invited to participate in a variety of guided shore excursions that highlight the cultural, historical, and natural beauty of the Rhône and Saône river valleys. These excursions are led by knowledgeable local guides who provide deep insights into the heritage of the regions visited. Daily activities include walking tours through historic city centers, visits to world-class vineyards, and explorations of medieval villages. The pace is designed to be enriching yet relaxed, allowing guests to absorb the atmosphere of southern France at their own speed. For those who prefer independent exploration, the ship provides complimentary bicycles, perfect for cycling along the scenic riverbanks and discovering the local flora and fauna of the French countryside.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on VIVA Voyage, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.

When do I need to pay?

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

What documents will I receive?

After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.

How do I get to the cruise ship?

Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.

What clothing and footwear should I bring?

Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability, contact us as soon as possible.
