Join us for an exclusive and scenic queer river cruise as we journey towards one of the most exciting global celebrations of the year: WorldPride Amsterdam 2026. This special 8-day river adventure brings together the charm of Europe’s waterways, the ease of slow travel, and the joy of Pride Month—culminating in your arrival in Amsterdam just in time for the heart of the WorldPride celebrations.

Created with community at its core, the cruise offers dedicated spaces for queer women and non-binary travelers to connect, alongside fun socials that bring together the wider LGBTQ+ community—because Pride is about showing up, together.

You’ll have three days in Amsterdam to soak up WorldPride, including the iconic canal parade, LGBTQ+ socials, and a city alive with rainbow flags, street festivals, cultural events, and celebrations. A 3-day public transport Pass in Amsterdam is included, as well as all excursions during the cruise, making it easy to explore and roam around Amsterdam your way.

Sailing aboard a stylish and contemporary VIVA Cruises vessel, the ship becomes your floating boutique hotel. Glide peacefully along historic rivers and canals, passing postcard-worthy villages, iconic windmills, and lush landscapes. On board, enjoy elegant lounges, panoramic sun decks, a wellness area, and chic cabins designed for deep rest and comfort. Whether you’re sipping cocktails as the scenery drifts by, joining curated LGBTQ+ socials, or enjoying quiet moments on deck, the ship is designed to feel like home.

Each stop across Germany and the Netherlands offers something special. Explore medieval towns, browse local markets, sample regional flavours, or join one of our thoughtfully curated excursions.

Düsseldorf, a stylish and modern city along the Rhine, blends contemporary flair with historic charm. Known for its cutting-edge architecture, world-renowned art scene, and vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife, it’s a destination that feels both polished and full of personality. Stroll through the elegant Königsallee for luxury shopping, explore the cobblestone streets of the Altstadt—often called “the longest bar in the world”—or wander the riverside promenade for stunning views and relaxed café culture. With its welcoming atmosphere, rich cultural offerings, and lively social scene, Düsseldorf offers a delightful mix of sophistication and warmth for every traveler.

Rotterdam is a bold, forward-thinking city that celebrates creativity at every turn. Rebuilt after the war, it has evolved into a dazzling showcase of modern architecture, from the iconic Cube Houses to the sweeping Erasmus Bridge that defines its skyline. Its bustling markets, innovative food scene, and thriving arts districts give the city an energetic, youthful vibe. Wander along the waterfront, explore contemporary museums, or soak in the atmosphere of its diverse, welcoming neighborhoods. Rotterdam’s spirit is one of reinvention and openness—making it an inspiring stop where culture, design, and community come together in exciting ways.

Amsterdam is a city where timeless beauty and modern vibrancy blend effortlessly. With its iconic canal rings, gabled houses, and bicycles gliding along cobblestone streets, it offers a postcard-perfect backdrop to a lively, open-hearted culture. World-class museums, eclectic neighborhoods, and a thriving culinary scene invite endless exploration, while its legendary LGBTQ+ history and inclusive spirit make it one of the most welcoming cities in the world. Whether you’re cruising the canals, strolling through leafy parks, or soaking in the electric atmosphere of its festivals and nightlife, Amsterdam radiates charm, creativity, and a sense of freedom that leaves a lasting impression.

We have activities planned as World Pride will take place during those days.

Antwerp is a captivating blend of old-world elegance and contemporary cool. Belgium’s fashion capital and one of Europe’s great port cities, it dazzles with its beautifully preserved medieval squares, grand Gothic cathedral, and diamond district that has shaped its global reputation. Yet beneath its historic façade beats a bold, creative heart—cutting-edge boutiques, vibrant art galleries, and stylish cafés fill its trendy neighborhoods. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a lively LGBTQ+ scene woven into its cultural fabric, Antwerp offers a rich mix of history, style, and modern flair, making it an irresistible stop for curious travelers.

Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, exudes a relaxed, youthful energy shaped by its rich history and vibrant university culture. Set along the rolling banks of the River Waal, the city combines Roman roots with a laid-back modern atmosphere, where cozy cafés, independent shops, and lively squares invite you to slow down and explore. Its green spaces and riverfront paths make it perfect for scenic walks or bike rides, while its cultural scene—filled with festivals, music venues, and artsy hangouts—reflects a community that loves creativity and connection. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, Nijmegen offers an authentic Dutch experience with a friendly, progressive spirit.

Time to say goodbye! The ship arrives after breakfast at 8.30am.
