VIVA Cruises has renamed its Douro river vessel Porto Mirante as VIVA MIRANTE, with the change taking immediate effect ahead of the ship's first full season operating exclusively under the company's brand in 2027.
The 120-passenger vessel, which entered service in 2024, is scheduled to operate 32 departures between March and November 2027. As part of the rebranding, its entrance area will be updated to match the design of the wider VIVA Cruises fleet, while promotional materials and imagery will be revised to reflect the new name.
VIVA MIRANTE accommodates 120 guests in 60 cabins, with French balconies available in accommodation on the middle and upper decks. Onboard facilities include two restaurants, a panoramic lounge and bar, a separate sky lounge, a fitness room and a boutique shop. The sun deck features a swimming pool and sun loungers.
The 2027 programme will focus on 7-night cruises along the Douro, departing from Porto and calling at destinations including Folgosa, Vega Terrón, Pocinho, Pinhão and Régua. The itineraries will offer access to the region's vineyards, historic towns and wine-producing areas.
The cruise fare includes meals, premium beverages, Wi-Fi and a minibar replenished daily, forming part of the company's all-inclusive service concept.
The renaming marks the vessel's integration into VIVA Cruises' dedicated fleet ahead of its expanded Douro programme in 2027.
