VIVA Beyond staterooms

The staterooms and suites are furnished to a very high standard and feature a modern design. The light colours create a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Standard amenities include a television, hairdryer, safe and air conditioning. In addition, each stateroom has its own bathroom with shower and toilet.

Thanks to the exclusive VIVA Boutique travel concept, half of all staterooms are suites. The Beyond Suites captivate passengers with a size of approx. 30 sqm. Depending on the cabin category, travellers can look forward to further amenities. From the VIVA Boutique gift, to a signature experience, right through to exclusive culinary treats – here, the attention to detail is evident.

There is a wide variety of cabins: outside staterooms on the Emerald Deck, staterooms with French balconies, as well as junior suites and suites on the Ruby Deck, and of course the Beyond Suites on the Diamond Deck.

Atmosphere on board the VIVA Beyond

During your time on board, you’ll find yourself immersed in a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The beautiful décor, perfectly suited to the destination, also evokes the charm of France. The service is excellent, ensuring you feel at ease and can relax straight away.

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

VIVA Beyond restaurants

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.

At the main restaurant, RIVERSIDE, multi-course set menus are served at your table for lunch and dinner. In the evening, you can alternatively enjoy Michelin-star-quality fine dining at the speciality restaurant MOMENTS. This restaurant is, of course, included in the cruise price, but a reservation is recommended due to high demand.


At the front of the Panorama Salon is VIVA’s Brasserie. Here, too, passengers can enjoy delicious dishes inspired by French cuisine for dinner.

Entertainment, sports & wellness

The French flair is evident not only in the ship’s décor and culinary offerings but also in the evening entertainment. Each voyage features either a musical journey through France with French chansons or a cabaret soirée with fantastic dance performances.

For those keen on a healthy lifestyle, there is a small fitness area on board with a treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine and dumbbells. You can also relax with a massage in the wellness area (at an additional cost) or by the pool on the sun deck.

Our Summary

The VIVA Beyond is an excellent choice for a river cruise through France. The atmosphere on board and the culinary variety offered in three restaurants combine to create a magnificent holiday experience. After a day out filled with new experiences, passengers are always happy to return to this luxuriously furnished ship.
