VIVA Cruises Launches Onboard Credits Program
by Dori Saltzman /European river cruise brand, VIVA Cruises, is introducing "VIVA Additions," an onboard credits program for sailings in 2023 and 2024 on North American bookings.
The value of the VIVA Additions credits are calculated based on the duration of each guest's 2023 or 2024 cruise, based on per person, double occupancy. Credits range from €90 per person for a three-night cruise to €450 per person for a 15-night cruise. Guests traveling solo, booked under the standard single supplement will receive 25% of the fare paid in VIVA Additions credits per person – other than on no single supplement special promotions where they will receive the standard per person VIVA Additions credit amount.
"True to the motto 'Enjoy the Moment' – our new VIVA Additions onboard credits are yet another way that we are delivering unforgettable vacations with bonus credits on shipboard purchases and experiences like spa services or even for exploring onshore with amazing excursions," said Andrea Kruse, COO of VIVA Cruises.
VIVA Additions will appear as a credit on each guest's shipboard account and can be used for onboard charges such as gift shop purchases, a la carte bottle charges, laundry, and spa services as available on certain ships. They can also be applied to shore excursion purchases. VIVA Additions credits are not redeemable as cash, nor can they be rolled over to a future cruise should any unused credit remain at the end of the cruise.
