A-Rosa would like to say hello in 2013 – they are the newest river cruise company to extend into North America and are excited to introduce themselves.
A-Rosa River Cruises was established in Germany in 2000, quickly becoming Germany’s most popular river cruise company. A-Rosa Cruises stands for high quality, modern river cruises in the heart of Europe.
Stretching their boutique river cruise market to North America in 2013, A-Rosa cruises will offer their Rhine, Danube and Rhône river cruise itineraries for the first time. Three of their ten contemporary ships will be exclusively devoted to American and Canadian travelers, with warm and friendly European, English-speaking staff.
What does A-Rosa bring to the river cruise industry? They are an innovative brand, with high standards but most importantly they are the most inclusive river cruise company out there.
Their all-inclusive product includes in the cruise fare:
- Complimentary Airfare from 11 North American Gateways
- Transfers
- Port Charges
- Gratuities
- Open Dining and Bar Throughout the Ship
- Shore Excursions (3 excursions to choose from in each port)

A-Rosa navigates some of the world’s most storied and historic rivers including the Rhine, Danube and Rhône in France. Itineraries range from seven to 14 days with an opportunity to explore castles, country sides, vineyards, and museums in some of Europe’s most dynamic cities from Budapest to Provence. Travelers will be enriched with cultural adventures of food, wine, art, music and history.
A-Rosa A offers light and airy ships with no more than 200 passengers, providing an intimate, casual atmosphere of relaxation and recreation. Traveling alongside some of Europe’s most beautiful scenery, guests will have a true sense of luxury and comfort, a sense of home-away-from-home.
The A-Rosa Aqua, built in 2009, winds her way through the Rhine River, along with the A-Rosa Silva, a new ship built in 2012. The A-Rosa Silva also travels along the enchanting Danube River. The A-Rosa Stella finds herself in France, sailing through the French countryside on the Rhône/Saône River.
A host of amenities are available aboard each A-Rosa ship, space for relaxation but also for fitness and wellness in the Spa-Rosa, indoor and outdoor restaurants, an outdoor pool on the sun deck, shuffleboard, putting green and daily entertainment.
Dining onboard an A-Rosa river cruise ship is a culinary journey of low-calorie, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine combined with fresh, regional specialties harvested from the vibrant landscape in which the ship sails. Two buffet style restaurants with live cooking are available in an indoor and outdoor venue. When ready to have a cocktail, choose from the indoor or outdoor lounge. A-Rosa has no dress code or fixed seating times.
Staterooms on each A-ROSA ship are generous in size with luxurious bedding and modern furnishings, also included are convenient amenities such as individually adjustable air-conditioning, a television, telephone and hair dryer. Each cabin will enjoy a welcome bottle of champagne, fresh fruit, bathrobes and slippers, bottled water, bath products by Babor and Wi-Fi (optional).
A-Rosa ships offer all outside staterooms, with a new breathtaking view to enjoy each day. Guests that require accommodations for more than two passengers have the opportunity to reserve a family-friendly stateroom with sofa bed.
This new boutique river cruise line is an exciting and fresh change of pace in Europe, perfect for active travelers and guests with an interest in new cultures, cuisine, wine, health and wellness.
