Local Food

Dining on board is an all-inclusive, high-end experience that celebrates both local flavors and international culinary standards. Guests can enjoy gourmet meals in the main RIVERSIDE restaurant or opt for a more casual, relaxed atmosphere at VIVA’s Bistro. The menus are thoughtfully crafted to provide variety, with dedicated options for vegetarian and vegan guests, ensuring every palate is satisfied.

Shore excursions & land activities

The VIVA Tiara focuses on immersive land-based exploration rather than underwater activities. Guests enjoy a curated program of shore excursions that highlight the cultural and historical significance of the river regions. These include guided walking tours through medieval town centers, visits to iconic cathedrals, and scenic hikes through the rolling hills and vineyards that line the riverbanks. Each excursion is led by expert local guides who provide deep insights into the heritage and traditions of the visited sites. The pace is balanced to allow for both structured discovery and personal time, ensuring that guests can fully appreciate the unique character of each destination at their own leisure.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on VIVA Tiara, 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.
