Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the first river cruise we've ever been on.

We found the bar and the bar service excellent on board. It put a lot of bigger cruise ships to shame.

We had a really great cruise. All the things you want from a cruise. The food, the atmosphere, ports were great.

I'd definitely sail with Viva Cruises again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't overpack.
✓Book the Beastro in advance for evening dining.
✓Check spa prices upon boarding.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting seats in the lounge — The four of us managed to get a table for four, which was great.
Temperature control in cabin — Struggled a bit getting the temperature right, but think it's because of the time of year.

Our VERY FIRST river cruise was on Viva Tiara (Viva Cruises) and before we booked, we couldn't find a comprehensive ship tour... or review in English... ANYWHERE. So here you go! Enjoy! ALSO - because we mention it in our video, we vlogged our ENTIRE river cruise!
