    Asked on February 26th, 2025

    why did you public $785 on your Southern Rhine Nature trip, but cannot find the price from April till August 2025 trip

    Price / Availability
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written February 2025

      We advertise the 'from' price based on the base cruise price (not including cabin upgrades) on the least expensive departure date. From that lead in base price, one has to choose which cabin category to book as well any other add on services such as transfers, shore excursions, gratuities, port taxes and fees.
