On VIVA Cruises’ ships, you’ll enjoy an international yet friendly atmosphere, thanks to the small number of passengers and the multilingual staff on board. The bright, modern décor reinforces this impression, making you feel as though you’re staying in a good hotel on land.

Passengers often include couples or solo travellers, who are on average slightly younger than is typical for river cruises.

VIVA Cruises places great importance on the culinary experience of its guests. High-quality menus featuring regional products are served at lunch and dinner. Vegetarian and vegan options are also becoming increasingly popular on board and are therefore available at every meal. The varied food and drink on offer in the restaurants and bars are part of the all-inclusive experience.

The RIVERSIDE restaurant is located on the Rubin Deck, where all main meals are served. The Mediterranean interior design is very welcoming and cosy, capturing the charm of Portugal and Spain.

You can enjoy a particularly beautiful view in VIVAs Bistro, which stretches from the stern across the Diamant Deck and the sun deck. With its large glass fronts, the bistro offers one of the best spots for taking in the scenery.

Right next to the bistro, outside on the sun deck, is a bar – a very popular spot, whether during the day or in the evening.

There is another bar in the Panorama Lounge at the bow of the ship. From here, you have an unobstructed view in the direction of travel.

The so-called Tuna Bands are typically found in Porto and the surrounding area, so they also perform on board the Porto Mirante – an entertaining evening filled with Portuguese joie de vivre is guaranteed!

The bar on the sun deck is also a lovely place to reflect on the day’s experiences. During the day, you can cool off in the beautifully designed pool or sunbathe here.

There is also a small fitness area with various cardio machines and dumbbells.

You can find a holiday souvenir in the onboard shop.

The Porto Mirante is a fantastic choice for a cruise on the Douro! The ship impresses us with its modern facilities, high-quality food and a stunning pool.
