VIVA Cruises partners with Sunway to expand river cruise options for Irish agents

European river cruise specialist, VIVA Cruises, announces a new partnership with Irish tour operator, Sunway, bringing VIVA Cruises’ premium river cruise experiences to the Irish travel trade.

Deirdre Sweeny (General Manager at Sunway) recently experienced a short cruise onboard VIVA Cruises’ latest ship, VIVA ENJOY, alongside other Irish travel professionals. Sharing her impressions, Deirdre commented:

“I was very impressed with the ship, staff, food and amenities onboard. Having three themed restaurants to choose from was wonderful, and the high tea with ice creams, cakes, pastries and savoury treats was a highlight. Cabins were spacious and premium, with stunning river views. VIVA Cruises offers an all-inclusive product – drinks, meals, tips, taxes, mini bar and Wi-Fi are all included. It’s a true 4-star experience with exciting 3-, 4-, and 5-night itineraries – perfect for city breaks, girls’ trips, or just because! I look forward to growing this partnership and selling more VIVA Cruises itineraries in the Irish market”.

VIVA Lifestyle

With VIVA Cruises, agents can offer clients a seamless, all-inclusive river cruise experience across Europe. Sunway’s packages include flights from Ireland, the cruise and optional hotel stays, making it easy for agents to tailor unforgettable journeys.
