    open dining?

    Meals
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written November 2023

      A-ROSA offers buffet-style meals, and here are some more facts about A-ROSA.

      A-Rosa Cruises is a well-known and respected German company, and the cruises they operate available on our TourRadar platform are bilingual, for both German and English-speaking travellers to enjoy. In most cases, passengers onboard A-Rosa Cruise ships will be a mix of European travellers, usually with a large percentage of German travellers, often with several British or North American travellers as well.

      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 travelling 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.

      So does that mean you do not have to stay with the same people for dinner each time?

    • A-ROSAOperator•Written November 2023

      Yes indeed the seating will change during meals.

    Price / Availability
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written December 2022

      The ship that will be used on this departure is known as the A-Rosa Silva. Request you kindly find the ship's link and a description of its cabin categories. If you could kindly have a look and reply with your preferred cabin, I shall be more than happy to quote you the pricing and the details.

  • N

    Natalie

    Asked on August 28th, 2022

    Is it possible to have 3 adults in one cabin and/or do you have special pricing for third person in another cabin?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Single supplement
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written August 2022

      For this cruise A-Rosa does not have the option to book 3 people in one cabin so you would need to have 2 cabins and one person would need to have a single supplement. Currently we have Category A (1 left) C (6+ left) D (6+ left) and F (2 left) remaining. Please note though that for the single traveller they would only be able to have either a Category C or D cabin as A-Rosa has restrictions on the number of single cabins.
