The river cruise begins in Düsseldorf, a city where contemporary lifestyle blends seamlessly with tradition. The elegant Königsallee, the lively Old Town – often called the longest bar in the world – and the scenic Rhine promenade set the tone for the journey ahead. From here, the ship heads north to Amsterdam, the vibrant capital of the Netherlands. Famous for its picturesque canals, historic merchant houses and world-class museums such as the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam captivates at every turn. A canal cruise or a stroll through the charming Jordaan district offers unforgettable impressions.
Continuing south, the itinerary reaches Rotterdam, a city defined by bold architecture and maritime spirit. Highlights include the futuristic Markthal, the striking Cube Houses and the iconic Erasmus Bridge, all reflecting the Netherlands’ innovative character. As Europe’s largest seaport, Rotterdam impresses with its dynamic, international atmosphere.
A true hidden gem awaits in Dordrecht, the oldest city in the Netherlands. Quaint canals, centuries-old warehouses and a charming historic centre with churches and market squares invite relaxed exploration. The journey then continues to Nijmegen, one of the country’s oldest cities, where Roman heritage meets a lively modern vibe. Landmarks such as the Grote Markt and St. Stevenskerk, combined with cosy cafés and a green riverside setting, give the city its distinctive appeal.
Finally, the ship returns to Düsseldorf, bringing an enriching journey to a close. From cultural capitals and cutting-edge architecture to historic harbour towns, this cruise offers a remarkable variety of experiences – rich in contrast and lasting impressions.

Itinerary
Day 1Düsseldorf
Rhenish lifestyle between tradition and modernity - Düsseldorf inspires with diversity! Here art and culture lovers get just as enthusiastic as shopping enthusiasts, here the Media Harbor impresses with contemporary architecture as well as the historic Old Town. The old town makes Düsseldorf with more than 250 cozy pubs to the "longest bar in the world". The traditional Altbier is not the only tasty thing here! A stroll along the Königsallee, the world-famous strolling mile, is something one does not want to miss - or rather a visit to one of the numerous sympathetic flea markets? And in the middle of it all: lots of Green and the Rhine with its riverside promenade to breathe easy. No wonder the VIVA Cruises family feels right at home here!
Day 2Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of those cities that every traveler should have visited at least once in his life. No wonder, millions and millions of tourists flock to the city on the canals every year to enjoy the flood of sights and cultural offerings. The best way to discover Amsterdam is by taking a boat ride along the canals or a walk along the unique canals. Art lovers will be immediately drawn to one of the world-famous museums, such as the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum or the Van Gogh Museum. Party people will find their happiness in the nightlife and red light district De Wallen. And beer drinkers should by no means miss the Heineken Experience.
Day 3Rotterdam
The port city of Rotterdam is located in the Netherlands and is one of the most interesting places in the world. The modern architecture plays a significant role in this. Among the impressive sights is the horseshoe-shaped market hall with the huge range of goods and the colorful hustle and bustle. In the old harbor with the striking white house, historic ships can be marveled at. For strolling, shopping and partying, the shopping mile Witte de Withstraat is an attraction. The futuristic-looking central station, the bag, also invites you to pub crawl and shop.
Day 3Dordrecht
The Dutch city of Dordrecht is a former trading city thanks to its location on the water. This past can still be felt in the town today. Be it in the historic city center, at the harbor or in one of the several museums. Also worth seeing is the "Grote Kerk" and the Augustinian monastery of the 13th century. A walk through Dordrecht is the best way to discover the history of the place.
Day 4Nijmegen
The oldest city in the Netherlands exudes a quaint Dutch flair with its gabled houses, small cheese shops and delicacies on the "Grote Markt". In the narrow streets, yesterday and today go hand in hand. Therefore, a visit to the Gothic St. Stevenskerk, including the burial cellar, as well as a stroll along the shopping street "Lange Hezelstraat" should be on the sightseeing plan. With freshly fried Kibbelingen in the wintry Kronenburgerpark can be perfectly paused afterwards..
