7 nights from/to Düsseldorf, Germany

July 29 – August 05, 2026
Viva Cruises MS Viva One

Celebrate Diversity on the River! What happens in Amsterdam rarely stays in Amsterdam! At least when it comes to the memories made during its infamously fun Pride celebrations. Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with joy, pride, and community on our LGBTQ+ PRIDE CRUISE 2026, featuring a very special highlight - the World Pride Parade 2026 in Amsterdam. Our route takes you from Düsseldorf to Rotterdam and on to Amsterdam (with two overnight stays), before continuing to Antwerp and Nijmegen, and finally returning to Düsseldorf.

The undeniable highlight of this voyage is the stay in Amsterdam, right at the heart of the World Pride celebrations. From July 25 to August 8, 2026, the Dutch capital transforms into a dazzling sea of color, music, and love.

Beginning in Düsseldorf, you’ll embark in this stylish Rhine-side city before sailing to Rotterdam, known for its striking modern architecture and gorgeous waterfront. You’ll then spend three days in Amsterdam for World Pride, diving purse-first into the sure-to-be-eventful celebrations — from street parties and cultural events to the world-famous Canal Parade along the historic waterways.

Experience the city’s vibrant energy during the world-famous Canal Parade, when boats, beats, and pride flags fill the waterways in one of the most spectacular LGBTQ+ events in the world.

After Pride, the cruise continues to Antwerp, Belgium’s fashion-forward gem of grand squares and café culture, and Nijmegen, a charming riverside city rich in history, before returning to Düsseldorf.

We’ve got you covered on land too – a 3-day public transport ticket in Amsterdam and all excursions during the cruise are included, so you can enjoy every destination stress-free and at no extra cost.

Enjoy a mix of entertainment, music-filled evenings, inspiring conversations, and tranquil moments on deck as the river scenery drifts by. One thing’s for sure: this will be a week full of celebration, culture, and connection — a cruise that embraces diversity and creates memories to last a lifetime.

Enjoy VIVA All-Inclusive benefits aboard, including full-board dining, select drinks all day, Pride-themed parties, entertainment, and - most importantly of all - an instant community focused on having a good time!
