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

We enjoyed our cruise. It was great! 👍 We were the only English speaking onboard, an all German cruise. However when we booked we understood it was a German company and that was a possibility but it didn’t take anything away from our experience. All the crew speak English and never did we not know where we needed to be or doing. We enjoyed the smaller villages that we stopped at and could explore on our own. The food onboard was amazing. We had a fabulous entertainer on board, her name was Karina and her shows were amazing. All the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The spa services were great 👍 We really enjoyed our cruise. What we liked was we visited places not so touristy and the ship dock was a short walk from the township. We visited places we wouldn’t have been able to visit or actually know to visit! Awesome. 🤩Show more
