Introducing A-ROSA Cruises!

A-ROSA’s vessels carry an average of only 175 to 242 guests, so there are no long waits to embark and disembark, the attentive staff know your name within a day or two and there is always somewhere to sit and relax. Staterooms are designed to make you feel at home the moment you arrive, being remarkably spacious and equipped with a range of comforts, from en suite bathrooms to queen-sized beds, individual temperature control to complementary use of robes, slippers and wi-fi . And, with large picture windows or French balconies, you do not even need to leave your room to appreciate the ever unfolding, magical scenery of Europe’s rivers.

One of the undoubted delights of a river cruise is sampling the culinary specialities of the regions you visit, and this is something close to A-ROSA’s heart. Cooking stations invite you to customise your breakfast and lunch selections, while each and every dinner is an event to please even the most educated palate. Skilfully prepared courses, crafted with the finest and freshest ingredients, are paired with a wonderful selection of wines to bring out the best in each.

After a fulfilling morning of sightseeing, why not take some time to indulge yourself in the outstanding SPA-ROSA. Whatever your idea of perfect pampering, you are sure to find it in the spa menu - perhaps a Lomi Lomi Nui massage, a gentle yoga class or a sauna with panoramic views. And, when you are feeling re-energised, you might like to try the well-equipped gym.

The great outdoors Time on the sun deck might be measured in sunsets, laps in the pool, glasses of wine or the number of new friends you make. But most travellers are happy to let time simply stand still as they take in Europe’s fabled towns and picturesque countryside from the comfort of a chaise lounge. The motto on the sun deck is: ‘anything is possible, but nothing is required… just enjoy.’

Choose from a selection of characterful shore excursions that allow you do as much or as little as you wish. In addition to gentle, yet sublime introductions to cities and regions, there are more adventurous options such as bike rides through Roman towns, kayaking peaceful shores and hiking the Black Forest. Whatever you decide to do, you will know that you didn’t just take a tour; you experienced Europe to the fullest.
