With just four months to go, VIVA Cruises is gearing up for the debut of the new VIVA Beyond on the Seine River.

“As we begin this four-month countdown, VIVA Beyond represents more than a new ship – it represents our vision for the future of boutique river cruising,” said Andrea Kruse, CEO of VIVA Cruises.

“The Seine is a river of extraordinary emotion, history, and beauty. With VIVA Beyond, we have created a ship and a collection of journeys that allow our guests to experience France in a deeply personal and inspiring way.”

The company said the new ship offers design-forward spaces, immersive cultural journeys, and VIVA’s signature premium-all-inclusive experience along France’s iconic Seine River.

Guests can look forward to spacious suite-forward accommodations, including Junior Suites, Suites, and the new Beyond Suites, many with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and elevated in-room amenities. The company said the ship has more suites than any other vessel in the fleet.

Three different seven-night itineraries are part of the ship’s initial deployment.

Kruse also said that the VIVA Boutique will expand into Italy in 2027 with the debut of VIVA Unique, a sister ship to VIVA Beyond.

“VIVA Boutique is a key pillar of our long-term growth strategy,” Kruse said. “We’re excited to bring this refined, culturally rich travel style to even more destinations across Europe. This expansion reflects our commitment to thoughtful growth, exceptional design, and immersive destination-focused travel.”
