Barcelona born. Mediterranean by nature.
From our home port in Barcelona, MareViva Cruises sails six medium-to-large ships across the Mediterranean, Atlantic islands and Europe's most beautiful coastal cities — with Spanish hospitality, regional dining and destination-rich itineraries.
About MareViva Cruises
Founded in Barcelona in 1998, MareViva Cruises was created with a simple idea: to build a cruise line that felt truly European. Our ships combine the comfort of modern cruising with the culture of the ports we visit — from Spanish markets and Italian coastal towns to Greek islands, French Riviera evenings and Atlantic sunsets.
Today we welcome around 720,000 guests a year from Spain, France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Portugal and Northern Europe.
Good ships. Good food. Good people.

What makes MareViva different
Our ships are designed around European guests, European food, European cities and European service traditions.
Headquarters, fleet control and main cruise operations all sit at Torre MareViva in Port Vell.
Longer port calls, late departures and carefully selected excursions so you see each place properly.
Spanish tapas, Italian seafood, French patisserie, Greek mezze and Portuguese wines across the fleet.
Space, choice and entertainment — without ever becoming an overwhelming mega-ship.
Spanish, English, French, Italian and German as standard, with Portuguese on selected sailings.
