The newly released itineraries span the Rhine, Main, Danube, Moselle, Rhône and Seine.

Throughout 2024, the Düsseldorf-based river cruise company will be offering 85 different itineraries and more than 280 sailings on its eight vessels.

Itineraries will range from short four-night city breaks to Christmas & New Year itineraries to themed cruises.

There will also be a range of excursions available to compliment each itinerary.

Launching Viva Enjoy

The launch of Viva Enjoy is set for September 2024, following the launch of Viva One in 2022 and Viva Two earlier this year.

The ship will feature a similar design to Viva Two and will house three restaurants, 95 cabins – including eight suites

Viva Cruises chief operating officer Andrea Kruse said: "In addition to our popular classics, we are offering numerous new itineraries, experiences and special moments for 2024.

"With the exciting launch of Viva Enjoy next year, we will have a total of eight ships – three of them sailing all year round, including in January, February and March, whilst most cruise lines are still in hibernation.

"This will enable us to meet the ever-increasing demand in river cruising."
