LGBTQ+ and Friends river cruise - with VIVA Cruises to Belgium and the Netherlands

As a proud member of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), VIVA Cruises is offering an international river cruise for LGBTQ+ and Friends for the first time. From February 28 to March 3, 2024, guests will have the opportunity to discover the cities of Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam while enjoying a mix of relaxation, entertainment and new acquaintances with international guests in an LGBTQ+ friendly environment.

The five-day voyage starts and ends in Antwerp on board the VIVA MOMENTS. On the second day, the ship docks for the whole day in Rotterdam. A city known for its modern architecture and creative scene. Guests can take the opportunity to take part in an included themed city walk and experience the atmosphere of the metropolis. Rotterdam is home to a variety of museums, art galleries and the largest port in Europe.

On days three and four, the VIVA MOMENTS docks overnight in Amsterdam. During an included Canal Cruise, passengers can admire the capital's famous canals and historic buildings. During the day, there is plenty of time for shopping in De 9 Straatjes or in the Utrechtsestraat with its many vintage stores and luxury stores. A visit to the world's largest archive of LGBTQ+ history, the IHLIA LGBTI Heritage, is also possible. Above all, guests can use Friday evenings to get to know Amsterdam's nightlife and visit the local LGBTQ+ bars and clubs. Popular neighborhoods include Reguliersdwarsstraat, Zeedijk and Warmoesstraat. Passengers can use the afternoon on the way back to Rotterdam to relax - for example with a massage in the wellness area of VIVA MOMENTS.

Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam offer a variety of cultural attractions, but also an LGBTQ+-friendly scene, with plenty of stores, bars and restaurants.

The river cruise starts from 795 euros per person. Included in the price on board is the VIVA all-inclusive package, which provides comprehensive food and drink throughout the trip as well as exclusive DJ entertainment in the evening.
