European river cruise specialist, VIVA Cruises has announced a new partnership with Sunway, bringing VIVA Cruises’ premium river cruise experiences to the Irish travel trade.
This collaboration enables all Irish travel agents to sell VIVA Cruises’ fully packaged products, including flights, cruises and optional pre- or post-stay arrangements.
Founded in 1966, Sunway has grown to become Ireland’s largest Irish-owned travel company, offering a wide range of holiday products and services – including European river cruises.
Deirdre Sweeny, general manager at Sunway, recently experienced a short cruise onboard VIVA Cruises’ latest ship, VIVA ENJOY, alongside other Irish travel professionals. Sharing her impressions, Deirdre commented:
“I was very impressed with the ship, staff, food and amenities onboard. Having three themed restaurants to choose from was wonderful, and the high tea with ice creams, cakes, pastries and savoury treats was a highlight. Cabins were spacious and premium, with stunning river views. VIVA Cruises offers an all-inclusive product – drinks, meals, tips, taxes, mini bar and Wi-Fi are all included. It’s a true 4-star experience with exciting 3-, 4-, and 5-night itineraries – perfect for city breaks, girls’ trips, or just because! I look forward to growing this partnership and selling more VIVA Cruises itineraries in the Irish market.”
With VIVA Cruises, agents can offer clients a seamless, all-inclusive river cruise experience across Europe. Sunway’s packages include flights from Ireland, the cruise and optional hotel stays, making it easy for agents to tailor unforgettable journeys.
All VIVA Cruises itineraries and ships are available on Sunway’s website under the Sunway’s cruise finder. For quotes and bookings, contact Sunway’s dedicated cruise team at 01 231 1800.
