Fahrtgebiete von VIVA Cruises

Imposante Bauwerke, traumhafte Landschaften und sehenswerte Städte: Flusskreuzfahrten können so vielfältig sein! Die Flusskreuzfahrtschiffe von VIVA Cruises zeigen euch die schönsten Ecken in mehr als sechs Fahrtgebieten.

VIVA Cruises Fahrtgebiete

Entdeckt mit VIVA Cruises einen der längsten Flüsse Europas. Die Donau, die insgesamt durch zehn Länder fließt, bietet traumhafte Highlights wie Budapest und Wien. Doch nicht nur große Stadt-Metropolen sind entlang der Donau zu finden, sondern auch beeindruckende Naturschauspiele wie z.B. das unverwechselbare Donau-Delta.

Elbe & Nebenflüsse

Auf Elbe, Moldau und Havel wartet eine Flusskreuzfahrt voller königlichem Glanz auf euch! Neben geschichtsträchtigen Städten, warteten atemberaubende Landschaften auf euch. Höhepunkt eurer Flusskreuzfahrt ist die Stadt Dresden - sie ist wahrlich verzaubernd. Aber auch Prag ist definitiv einen Besuch wert.

Oder & Ostsee

Eine Flusskreuzfahrt auf Oder und Ostsee bringt wahre Schätze mit sich. Neben traumhaften Ostseebädern, entdeckt ihr auch Inseln wie Usedom, Rügen und Hiddensee - die Perlen der Ostsee. Vor allem im Sommer werden hier Osteeträume wahr!

Rhein & Nebenflüsse

Auf geht’s zu den beeindruckenden Metropolen entlang des Rheins und seiner Nebenflüsse (Main und Mosel). Entlang von imposanten Burgen und Weinbergen, entdeckt ihr verschiedene Kulturen und sehenswerte Städte. Auch die andere Seite des Rheins hat viel zu bieten: Hier entdeckt ihr z.B. die schönsten Städte Hollands und Belgiens.

Rhône & Saône

Entdeckte die französische Perfektion auf Rhône und Saône. Bereits beim Einlaufen in die verschiedenen Häfen wie Avignon, Marseilles oder Lyon kommt mediterranes Flair auf. Neben traumhaften Naturkulissen, zeigt euch Frankreichs Süden echte kulinarische Highlights.

Im Gegensatz zur Rhône und Saône, zeigt die Seine eine ganz andere Seite Frankreichs auf. Neben dem absoluten Highlight der Reise, nämlich Paris, genießt ihr auf der Seine traumhafte Ausblicke. Die Burgen, grünen Wiesen oder die zauberhaften Lavendelfelder sind nur einige Highlights der Normandie - denn sie enden nie.

• The NCLH-Fincantieri deal was backed by CDP (Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA/1850-founded, Turino-based Italian investment bank) and SACE SpA (Servizi Assicurativi del Commercio Estero/1977-founded Italian Export Credit Agency).
• All shipbuilding orders were signed by Frank Del Rio (NCLH's President and CEO) and Giuseppe Bono (Fincantieri SpA's CEO).

The vessel's name (Norwegian Viva) was officially revealed on January 11, 2022.

The vessel was launched/floated out from drydock on August 2, 2022. The ceremony was attended by Harry Sommer (NCLH's CEO and President), Luigi Matarazzo (Fincantieri's Merchant Shipping Division's Managing Director) and Frank Del Rio (NCLH's CEO and President).

NCL's Viva was officially delivered by Fincantieri Marghera to NCLH/shipowner on August 3, 2023. The delivery was postponed and originally scheduled for June 30th.

Paris is still probably the greatest place of longing for travelers from all over the world. And quite rightly so, as no other city in the world is such an epitome of love, seduction, art, culture and culinary delights. Paris is the city for the beautiful things in life. This begins with the beauty of the French capital. The best way to experience this is to take a look from the viewing terraces of the Eiffel Tower or the city's Montmartre hill. The city on the Seine offers so many beautiful perspectives that it's hard to decide which direction to point the camera in first. But even up close, the city's sights are hard to beat in their beauty. The ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral; the massive Arc de Triomphe; the sprawling Louvre; the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries; the magnificent Opéra Garnier and the impressive Place de la Concorde are just the tip of the iceberg of sights that you can marvel at in Paris. You will also be amazed by the city's art museums: Whether it's world-class art at the Louvre, Impressionists at the Musée d'Orsay, contemporary art at the Centre Pompidou, the history of the Middle Ages at the Musée national du Moyen Age, ethnology at the Musée du Quai Branly, or the works of Rodin and Picasso at the museums of the same name - you can spend many days and weeks in Paris' museums. And if that's not enough, you can eat and drink better in Paris than in probably any other city in the world. The city's cafés, bistros and restaurants enjoy a legendary reputation and have an incomparable flair.

Les Andelys

Les Andelys is a commune in France, located in the Normandy region. The city is divided into a large and small part (Le Petit Andely and Le Grand Andely). At the same time, the small part is located directly on the Seine River. The northern character of the country is also reflected in the architecture of the municipality. This can be seen, for example, in the 13th century Notre-Dame Cathedral. The amusement park Tolysland is popular with young and old.

The city of Rouen is the historic capital of Normandy and is best known for Joan of Arc. In the museum "Joan of Arc" you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical garden, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". Very popular is also a visit to the clock tower in the charming downtown area of the town.

Elderly american couple stranded in spain after norwegian cruise ship left without them.

They missed the boat — literally.

An elderly American couple was left behind by Norwegian Cruise Line in Spain this week after they returned late to the ship and the vessel refused to wait for them — despite it routinely departing behind schedule during the voyage.

“I am a very experienced traveler and have probably been on as many as 30 cruises during my lifetime,” Salt Lake City resident Richard Gordon, 84, told CNN .

“Never before have we ever missed catching a ship on time at a port. So we are not someone who abuses the system.”

Gordon and his wife Claudene, 81, had gone on an independently booked excursion to view the city of Grenada while their ship, Viva, was docked in Motril on Monday. Due to a rainstorm, they ran late for the 5:30 p.m. all-aboard time ahead of a scheduled 6 p.m. departure.

At 5:45 p.m. the Gordons, who were taking the cruise to celebrate Richard’s 85th birthday this week, notified a relative on board that they were running late but were nearby.

The family member was told that the Viva had to leave on time and would not wait. By the time the octogenarians arrived at 6:10 p.m., the boat had left the harbor, Gordon told the outlet.

“Our cruise began in Lisbon and we departed from Lisbon about one and a half hours after the scheduled departure at 4 p.m.,” he claimed.

“Then the next night or two, at least a half-hour late from the dock, so it is clear that they do not always leave on the exact moment scheduled.”

When the Viva set sail, the Gordons were left without their medication, eyeglasses and spare hearing aid batteries, which were on board.

Back in Salt Lake City, their daughter Marilee Baker, stayed up into the wee hours of the morning trying to book her parents a flight to Palma de Mallorca, where the boat was making its next call Wednesday morning, according to CNN.

The Gordons claim Norwegian didn’t make first contact with them until late Tuesday, and by the time they got to Mallorca, they were met with a luxury taxi service to bring them to the Viva.

“They picked us up at the hotel in a beautiful black BMW limousine to take us to the ship. There we were met by the head of ship services who escorted us inside the ship to meet the general manager of the ship, then they escorted us to breakfast, then they escorted us to our cabin,” Gordon told CNN, adding the boat blamed the Motril harbormaster, who they said was supposed to organize travel with the couple.

Despite their reception, Gordon said the boat’s failure to communicate with them left a sour taste in their mouth.

“The ship had not contacted us directly for two days so that doesn’t speak so well for them,” he said.

Norwegian Cruise Line disputed the couple’s account of what happened, telling The Post they were a full hour behind the 5:30 p.m. all-aboard time, and that it tried numerous times without success to contact the couple after they were left behind.

“After several attempts to contact these guests with the phone numbers provided, as well as trying to phone their emergency contact, we were unable to speak to them directly. However, we worked closely with the local port agents to make arrangements for the guests to rejoin the vessel,” a Norwegian Cruise Lines spokesperson said.

“It is important to note that a delayed departure has the potential to impact the ship’s ability to deliver its planned itinerary and thus influence the experience for all guests onboard. While this was a very unfortunate situation, guests are responsible for ensuring they return to the ship at the published time.”  

The Gordons are the second set of passengers to complain about being left behind by Norwegian Cruise Lines in just a month.

Earlier in April, nine passengers — including six Americans — missed their boat in Africa and were left to fend for themselves to catch up with the boat in Senegal.

The passengers — including a paraplegic person and an elderly man with a heart condition — were left stranded on the island without any belongings like money, medicine and necessary travel documents.

Norwegian reimbursed some costs they endured while trying to make it back onto the ship, the cruise line said .

Though not waiting for passengers late by their own doing is a common procedure on cruise ships , Norwegian has faced scrutiny in recent weeks after one of the passengers left behind in Africa had recently suffered a stroke and was sent to the hospital when the ship departed.
