This was our first cruise, so our expectations were based only on what we imagined. The booking process with TourRadar was clear and easy. We very much enjoyed our A-ROSA Rhine Experience Netherlands & Belgium 2026 cruise! The entire crew was very friendly and accommodating. The food and bevvies were really good. The destinations were interesting and fun to explore. We liked this cruise so much that another A-ROSA is likely in our future.Show more

Service :- excellent Cuisine: excellent Changes in routing ( due to water level in Danube)— very disappointing.
