Known as a luxurious, floating hotel with first-class cabins and an event location, it will now become a festive highlight. The ship, which is part of the Scylla AG fleet, has already made a name for itself with its stationary concept. The decision to remain in Düsseldorf for the holidays is a smart move. This unique ship will not only be used as a hotel but also as an exclusive venue for company parties and private events.

The location could hardly be better: right in the city center, yet the atmosphere on board is calm and relaxed. The VIVA RIVERSIDE sets itself apart from conventional hotels, offering a truly special experience. No specific prices have yet been published for the peak holiday season. This is quite normal and suggests that prices will vary according to demand to maximize revenue—a common strategy in the luxury hotel industry.

This step by the company points to an interesting trend in the tourism industry. Ships are no longer exclusively used for cruises but are finding new uses as stationary hotels or event locations. The VIVA RIVERSIDE is a prime example of how to adapt to changing market conditions. We might see more floating hotels in our cities in the future.
