Dining on board is a sophisticated affair, with three distinct venues offering a wide range of culinary experiences. The main RIVERSIDE restaurant serves gourmet international and regional dishes, while the MOMENTS specialty restaurant focuses on Italian-inspired cuisine. VIVA’s Bistro provides a more relaxed setting with a selection of Asian and Mediterranean-influenced meals, ensuring all dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian options, are well-catered for throughout the journey.

Shore excursions & land activities

The cruise experience focuses on immersive land-based exploration along the Danube. Guests enjoy a variety of guided shore excursions, ranging from walking tours of historic city centers like Vienna and Budapest to cultural visits to local monasteries and museums. The pace is leisurely, allowing travelers to soak in the atmosphere of each port of call. Nature enthusiasts can take advantage of the ship's free rental bicycles to explore the riverbanks at their own pace. These excursions provide a unique perspective on the region's diverse landscapes, from rolling vineyards to dramatic river gorges, ensuring a deep connection with the destinations visited.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on VIVA Two, 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.
