      TravelerWritten June 2023

      Could you please clarify the alcoholic drinks - are they free ALL the time or only during daytime and mealtimes?

    • A-ROSAOperatorWritten June 2023

      The correct embarkation and disembarkation address would be in your final documents sent to you few weeks before departure, once you have a confirmed booking with us. At the moment, I can see the potential address for both embarkation and disembarkation:

      Siegburger Straße 104
      Deutzer Werft (near tram station "Drehbrücke")
      50679 Cologne
      - Germany -

      Please note that it's not possible to park your car at the berth, however, you can book a parking space through A-ROSA. You will receive a parking reservation card with your travel documents.

    • A-ROSAOperatorWritten June 2023

      You will receive high-quality drinks throughout the day: including tea, speciality coffees, water, soft drinks, beers, wines as well as a wide selection of sparkling wines, cocktails, and long drinks. Also available outside dining hours. Please note that fine wines, champagne and other premium beverages are offered at an additional cost.

      I need to know what time we DISEMBARK as I have to catch a ferry from the Hook of Holland at 13.15 hrs.

    • A-ROSAOperatorWritten July 2023

      Regarding the disembarkation time, on the last day, the ship will arrive in Cologne at 6AM. You can disembark until 9AM.

      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.
