Entertainment, sports & wellness

The Panorama Salon with bar is the central meeting place at the bow of the ship. In this cosy lounge, you can watch the passing scenery in the shelter of the weather during the day or play a game of cards. In the evenings, there is live music and a dance floor is available.

You can unwind on the sun loungers on the sun deck and relax in complete peace and quiet. You can cleverly combine further wellness or sports activities with your shore excursions.

Our Summary

The VIVA Ruby is ideal for a peaceful river cruise. The oldest ship in the fleet has been beautifully refurbished and has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. For travellers looking for a bit more variety in the cuisine and on-board facilities, we recommend the newer ships in the VIVA Cruises fleet.
