Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your cruise with A-ROSA. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time on the Danube. Our goal is always to exceed your expectations! Nevertheless, we are sorry that the current extremely low water levels on parts of the Danube, caused by the lack of rainfall and high run-off of existing water, do not allow our ships to follow the planned itinerary. Your safety and the well-being of all guests and our crew have absolute priority for A-ROSA, Although this is unfortunately an uninfluenceable and unavoidable change, we greatly appreciate your understanding. If there's anything we can help you with during your next stay on board, please don't hesitate to let us know. All the Best for you and your family. TEAM A-ROSA

Excellent!. The boat was great and the crew was incredible. Smooth as silk. The tours were a bit disappointing since the guide spoke totally in German. The food on the boat was amazing. A slight disappointment was that the passengers weren't all Vaxxed. (just needed a 3-day test). This caused Slovakia to close Bratislava to us. They tried to punt with a tour from Mainburg to Bratislava. But, it was disappointing. Everything else was fabulous. The crew were fantastic. Larry M.Show more

Tour Radar was very easy to work with. Anytime we had questions, they contacted ARosa for the answers. ARosa was very clean, kept with all Covid 19 guidelines. We never felt that we could be exposed to the virus. The only issue was the language. We took 2 tours that were completely in German. We did receive a 1/2 price discount, but had no idea what we were looking at or any history about the building or history. There were 8 Americans aboard. We did meet other passengers who spoke English as well as German. Most people that we interacted with in the countries spoke enough English that wasn’t an issue. We all came away with loving the Tour.Show more
