VIVA Cruises is 'bringing' its newest ship, VIVA TIARA, to the comfort of our own homes. The European river cruise specialist has just launched a comprehensive virtual 360° tour to showcase the look and feel of its new modern design and to inspire guests for the next river cruise adventure.

The virtual tour of VIVA TIARA can be experienced here:

VIVA TIARA was thoroughly refurbished during the recent winter season and the ship now features 76 light-flooded outside cabins - most of them with French balconies, which can accommodate 153 passengers. All of the cabins were completely redesigned with a fresh new look and public spaces such as the restaurant, bar and wellness area were also given a makeover.

Andrea Kruse, COO of VIVA Cruises, says: “We are very sorry that consumers are not able to physically enjoy a river cruise on VIVA TIARA at present. However, we thought prospective guests might like the opportunity to immerse themselves in our newest ship through this exciting virtual 360° tour. We do hope that we are able to inspire people and to start welcoming guests very soon.”

As well as the virtual 360° tour, VIVA Cruises is releasing photo albums of its 10-strong fleet on a weekly basis for customers to get 'on board' their ships. The images, some of them never released before, are being uploaded on VIVA Cruises' Facebook and Instagram pages every Friday. Photos of SWISS RUBY, the smallest ship in the fleet - for just 88 guests - were released last week.

The river tour operator, which belongs to the renowned Swiss shipping company Scylla AG, first started its European river cruises in the 2018/2019 winter season, gaining great success ever since.
