Dining On Board

Food is at the heart of the VIVA experience, and VIVA ENJOY offers a choice of three onboard venues:

  • Riverside Restaurant (Main Dining Room):

    This is the ship’s main restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an emphasis on international dishes and regional specialities, all served à la carte or buffet-style depending on the meal.

  • Moments Restaurant (Speciality):

    An intimate, Italian-inspired venue offering à la carte dining by reservation. Ideal for a special night, this experience blends fine dining with relaxed riverside charm.

  • VIVA’s Bistro:

    A more informal alternative located at the ship’s stern. The bistro offers buffet-style classics at lunchtime and themed dinners in the evening, with alternating Mediterranean and Asian influences.

Fellow Guests

VIVA ENJOY typically attracts a mix of well-travelled couples, solo adventurers and small groups of friends, with a focus on German and English-speaking guests seeking relaxed, adult-friendly river cruising.
