      Regarding accessibility on board, some of the ships that operate this itinerary do not have an elevator. If the traveller is comfortable climbing stairs to move between decks, there should generally be no issues during the cruise.

      If an elevator is important for your plans, please share the exact departure date you are interested in. We can then double-check which specific ship is scheduled for that date and confirm whether an elevator is available on that vessel.

      How much is parking at the Cruise Port, customer will have a rental car.

    • A-ROSAOperator•Written January 2024

      If you arrive by car, you can book through A-ROSA a valet parking. In your travel documents you will find the reservation card. If you do not want to use this organized valet parking, you would have to find a parking spot near the harbor independently for the time of your trip.

      For Passau, Engelhartszell and Cologne is also an online reservation possible.

    Price / Availability
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written January 2024

      We do apologize as the operator does not have a single supplement cabin for the 20th Oct 2023 departure. But they do have a cabin for single occupancy available for the same cruise from 25 October until 30 October 2024 in Cabin Category C for a price of € 1.427,40 (CruiseCountdown Discount until 31 January). We recommend € 8 to € 12 per guest and day for gratuities.

    Dawn

    Asked on July 6th, 2023

    Trying to book River Cruise #166084. When I entered my Date of birth, a statement "This tour is suitable for 2 to 80 years old Not within the age range. My age is 81 and I don't see an issue with my age, from 2 to 80 or 81?" Is it possible to let 81-year-olds on this tour?

    Age Range
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written July 2023

      I can confirm that you are definetly more than welcome to book this lovely cruise!

      I had a look for you for the 23rd of September 2023 and can see that the only available cabins would be in Cabin A and Cabin S.

      The total comes to USD $5848.

      Please note this price does not include international flights, shore excursions, airport transfers, or gratuities.

      Here are some of the wonderful benefits of booking an A-ROSA river cruise:
      - Excellent value for money, with all the amenities of a floating hotel
      - Enjoy all gourmet meals onboard, plus afternoon coffee and cake
      - Top-quality beverages included in the price (such as tea, specialty coffee, beer, and a selection of wines)
      - Spacious, stylish cabins with free Wi-Fi, flatscreen TV, shower, and much more
      - Special discounts on massage and spa treatments
      - Family-friendly atmosphere, with children 15 years old and under traveling for free on most itineraries
      - Flexibility and value - the choice to select optional excursions or explore ports independently. A-Rosa offers something for everyone, with the choice of Discovery, Gourmet, or Bicycle adventures.

      TourRadar offers travelers river cruises around the world that are either operated in English or operated bilingually, in English and a second language. A-ROSA is a well known and respected German company, and the cruises they operate that are available on our TourRadar platform are bilingual, for both German and English speaking travelers to enjoy.

      In most cases, passengers onboard A-ROSA ships will be a mix of European travelers, usually with a large percentage of German travelers, often with several British or North American travelers as well.

      If you are interested in adding English shore excursions to your river cruise vacation, we recommend booking these as far in advance as possible.

  • G

    George

    Asked on June 11th, 2023

    What is the difference between a berth & cabin, and price?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written June 2023

      To answer your question, berth means the ship's allotted place at a dock. The cabin is the room you would be staying in on the ship.

  • B

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      Do you have cabin for 3 people because 16 years old girl can stay with parents in same room. I can see there's one for 3 people in Category S ( triple room)

    • A-ROSAOperator•Written June 2023

      If you wanted to upgrade your room to a Category A we can certainly do this for this and the costing would be AUD 3,983.98 (depending on the exchange rate) per person in a double room. The only problem would be for the triple room as a Category A cannot accommodate 3 people in one room but we do have some other options. We can still place the 3 in a Category S in which the costing would be around AUD 2,519.88 per person (depending on the exchange rate) for this cabin. We also would have a Category E which a two bed junior suite with a couch and this one is priced at around AUD 5,529.42 per person (depending on the exchange rate). The Category E is mucher bigger then the S and the third bed would be a different location. In the S its located a drop down bed above on the other beds while in the E the third person would use the couch. I would highly recommend the going with the Category E as it will give you a lot more space if you decide to spend more time in the cabin.

    • B

      Barbara

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      is this tour in English only? Or German as well which is not so good

    • A-ROSAOperator•Written June 2023

      Emerald will be one of the only operators who solely operate in English who will have the single cabin available which does eliminate a huge portion of any single supplement charge. Other operators who solely operate in English ,like Scenic, APT, TravelMarvel, Viking, and Avalon for example will have much higher single supplements and therefore a higher price. If you are not not fussed about travelling with a cruise company that does not solely operate in English then this A-Rosa option will be a great option as it of course comes at a lower price as well.

    Asked on February 27th, 2023

    Could you please share what time the boarding starts? Additionally, what is the service that the onboard guide provides, would they assist the traveler in getting a taxi or a tour to the attractions locally? also, what time is breakfast usually served on the boat?

    Meals
    Tour Details
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written February 2023

      Embarkation begins at approximately 3 PM onwards. A Tour Directors' job is to guide passengers during their stay onboard the cruise as per the itinerary. You are welcome to purchase excursions on board the cruise. Breakfast is usually served between 7-9 AM in the morning

  • F

    Frances

    Asked on February 23rd, 2023

    Is this tour includes the transfer to the airport on the last day? If not, how much would it cost? How long will it take from the endpoint on the last day to the airport?

    Flights / Transfers
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written February 2023

      The transfer is not included from the airport on the last day. The transfer from the ship to the airport would come to 115€ per person. But you only need 15 min from the ship to the Airport. Maybe a Taxi would be much cheaper.

    • F

      Frances

      Traveler•Written March 2023

      Will I be able to purchase shore excursions from someone on the boat during the cruise?

    • A-ROSAOperator•Written March 2023

      All shore excursions are at an additional cost and booked onboard, these aren't booked in advance and A-Rosa doesn't offer an excursion package. The excursions can only be reserved before the booking through the following link and will be booked, confirmed and paid first on board.
