European river cruise specialist, VIVA Cruises is set to showcase its VIVA TWO ship at next month’s CLIA RiverView Conference in Budapest.
The 13th CLIA RiverView Conference takes place in the Hungarian capital over three days from 8-10 March, inclusive.
VIVA TWO is VIVA Cruises’ second build ship, launched in 2023. VIVA TWO is a modern river cruise ship featuring 95 cabins, accommodating up to 190 passengers. Guests can enjoy a range of amenities, including three restaurants, a fitness centre, a wellness area with a steam bath and infrared sauna, and a pool on the sun deck. The ship sails on various routes along the Danube river, offering itineraries that include stops in cities like Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava.
VIVA TWO will be moored in Budapest and available for agents to visit and stay over. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to explore the ship and experience firsthand the premium service and amenities that VIVA Cruises is known for.
VIVA Cruises was founded in 2018 as the first in house tour operator of Swiss shipping company, Scylla AG. Since then, it has grown rapidly and now boasts a nine-ship fleet sailing on major European rivers, including VIVA ONE, VIVA TWO and the newly launched, VIVA ENJOY, which is VIVA TWO’s sister ship. VIVA Cruises has also recently announced new Douro itineraries on board new built ship, PORTO MIRANTE, from June 2025.
The CLIA RiverView Conference 2025 will feature a variety of business sessions and networking events, including a new-to-selling river cruise masterclass, breakout training sessions and a trade fair. These sessions will cover important topics such as river cruise trends, marketing opportunities, new itineraries, and strategies for attracting first-time customers.
Andrea Kruse, CEO of VIVA Cruises, said: “We are excited to introduce VIVA TWO at the upcoming CLIA RiverView Conference. We showcased our first build ship, VIVA ONE, last year, so it’s now time for agents to meet her bigger sister, VIVA TWO – which offers three restaurants and an open lounge area which will wow guests. The CLIA RiverView Conference is a wonderful opportunity for us to connect with industry experts, present our latest innovations and explore the future of river cruising. We are eager to meet with our peers and share our dedication to creating unforgettable cruise experiences.”
