VIVA Cruises Unveils VIVA Boutique: Elevating Luxury on the Seine River

VIVA Cruises is launching its luxury sub-brand, VIVA Boutique, in May 2026, expanding into the premium river cruise market. The first ship, VIVA BEYOND, will exclusively navigate the Seine River, offering culturally immersive tours departing from Paris.

Originally part of the Scylla fleet, the VIVA BEYOND has been significantly refurbished to meet VIVA Boutique’s upscale expectations. The vessel is 110 meters long and can host 112 guests in 58 cabins, with more than half designed as suites. Among its amenities, the ship boasts ten Master Suites with panoramic views, priority boarding, and exclusive dining accommodations.

Guests will enjoy three unique dining options, a panoramic lounge bar, a spa and fitness center, and a sun deck featuring a pool, all reflecting the elegance of French culture. The inaugural itinerary, "In the Footsteps of Impressionism," includes a special trip to Auvers-sur-Oise, a village that inspired many renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Cézanne.

Bookings are now open for VIVA BEYOND’s first sailing, scheduled for May 10, 2026. Those who reserve early, between May 10 and June 30, 2025, will receive a EUR 200 flight credit per person, marking VIVA Cruises’ initiative to cater to travelers seeking a more luxurious river cruising experience along the Seine.
