VIVA Boutique, a division of VIVA Cruises, has announced its 2027 shore excursion programme for Italy, set to commence in May. The new ship, VIVA UNIQUE, will sail the Venetian Lagoon and the Po River, offering three distinct seven-night itineraries focused on Italian cuisine, culture, and art. These itineraries will run from May to October, with shorter cruises available during the winter months.
The themed itineraries include 'The Flavours of Italy', 'Timeless Journey Through the Lagoon', and 'Discovering the Legacy of Italian Masters', each beginning in Venice and exploring various Italian locales. Shore excursions range from brief outings to full-day experiences, catering to different activity levels. Highlights include a bike tour in Chioggia, a gastronomic tour in Bologna, and a guided exploration of Padua.
Michelle Daniels, director of sales for UK & Ireland and Australia & New Zealand at VIVA Cruises, stated, “Every destination along the Po has its own story to tell, and our new shore excursion programme allows guests to discover each one in an authentic and engaging way.”
VIVA Boutique ships offer more than 50% suite accommodation, with perks such as included shore excursions, three onboard restaurants, and Michelin-star inspired dining options. The all-inclusive experience also features premium drinks, complimentary High Tea, and other amenities.
