Tour Overview

Antwerp is the diamond city - but Rotterdam, Dordrecht and especially Amsterdam are also real jewels. Where else do strangers immediately feel like they belong? Where else are there crazy and lovable things on every street corner? Bicycle bells mingle with music from open windows - and the guests from the A-ROSA ship mix with the locals in the pubs and restaurants. And in between the cities: Wind whistling around your nose - and an incomparable feeling of freedom spreads. And then again, it is pleasing to the eye to see one of the old Dutch fishing villages with the quaint stepped gables and colorful fishing boats.

Family Cruises with A-ROSA

Families are always on the go. So, it´s not easy to get everyone together and simply spend time in one another´s company. Playing, telling stories, listening, laughing, hugging and enjoying delicious food are the glue that binds families together. We believe that our A-ROSA ships are the perfect place to spend time like this.

Family means adventures every day. Particularly when everybody travels together to explore new exciting places. One such place is the family cabin. This has a generously sized double bed and two high-quality single beds. The perfect place to make your own little retreat or plan your next excursion.

The A-ROSA Kids Club
The A-ROSA child and youth care does not let boredom arise.

Delicious favourite dishes, family tables and special surprises await you on all rivers. On board, an experienced host takes care of the youngest. The offer for the Kids Club takes place on selected family ships.

ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMME: Design their own T-Shirt, Creative Studio, Pop-Up Cards, Ship Rally, Face Painting, Theme days, such as Pirate Day, Board Games, Painting and Crafting, Different Exercises, Photo and Movie Activities, Ship Newspaper, Children/Youth Show. The specific program always depends on the conditions onboard; e.g. weather, space, the number and age of the children and teens, and of course on the interests of children and teens.

AGE GROUP: Children and teenagers between the ages of 4 and 15 years

ANIMATION TIMES: Up to three times per day.

Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1 : Cologne

Location: Cologne

We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.

Day 3 : Antwerp

Location: Antwerp

The port city of Antwerp is an absolute must-see. Rich in art and culture, it is also known as the ‘Diamond City’ due to its important role in the diamond trade. Antwerp is particularly enjoyable for foodies, thanks to the many tasty Belgian specialities on offer there – including waffles, chocolates and chips.

Day 4 : Rotterdam

Location: Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban, international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. In recent years, Rotterdam has become a centre for architecture – its large architect-designed houses testament to the city’s modernity. With a little luck, you’ll see other cruise ships during your day in Rotterdam, since Europe’s largest maritime port is a major transport hub.

Day 5 : Amsterdam

Location: Amsterdam

Amsterdam is an incredibly varied city. It’s old yet modern, relaxed yet bustling, and arty while also being commercial. With almost 7,500 listed buildings, it has the highest concentration of historical monuments in the whole country. When your Rhine cruise calls at Amsterdam, you’ll be able to discover a piece of history around every corner.

Ship Details

A-ROSA SENA

Image Of Ship

River cruise on the Rhine with the new A-ROSA Rhine ship.

A-ROSA’s modern cruise ships on the Rhine offer much space for everything that makes guests‘ holidays even more comfortable. The new E-motion ship on the Rhine sets completely new standards and surpasses any river cruise ship you have ever seen.

Sustainable cruising

The new ship is ideal for people who love cruising and also want to help reduce the environmental impact. The E-motion ship can come into port in an emission-free manner thanks to battery propulsion. Fuel consumption decreases and this helps keep the towns and cities en route clean.

Innovative cruising

A-ROSA SENA is ideal for people who love cruising and also want to travel more responsibly. The E-Motion Ship has a hybrid propulsion system with diesel and electric engines and a battery storage. During the cruise, the propulsion system operates in the optimum power range and excess energy is stored in the battery. Thanks to this energy, A-ROSA SENA can dock in ports almost silently and without local emissions.

E-motion ship experience for the whole family

There is plenty of space for family time in the 20 sq m standard cabins with a balcony and the generous 28 sq m family cabins for up to five people. The A-ROSA Kids Club has its own dedicated rooms on board. Many outdoor and dining areas invite the passengers to enjoy watching the landscape passing by. Parents can take a dip in the 23 sq m pool and kids will love their separate children’s pool on deck. The spacious spa and wellness area provides nothing but relaxation. There are also a variety of leisure activities on board.

A lavish buffet with a la minute cookery stations entices you with fresh ingredients and plenty of choice. In addition, a speciality waiter service restaurant offers an alternative option, with a new menu every night and the opportunity to dine here up to three times during the week. Weather permitting, you can choose to dine al fresco around pool as you watch the beautiful scenery pass by.On some evenings, served onboard will be a themed 3-course-dinner in a reserved part of the restaurant.

Time on the sun deck can be measured in sunsets, laps in the pool, glasses of wine or the number of new friends you’ve made. But for most, time just stands still as you take in Europe’s fabled towns and picturesque countryside from your chaise lounge.The motto topside on the sun deck is “anything is possible, but nothing is required… just enjoy.”

Up & Down Bar

The head-turning UP & DOWN BAR on sun deck has been magnificently designed to disappear into deck when we sail under a low bridge.

A-ROSA is green

For over fifteen years, A-ROSA has been the market leader for premium holidays on the Danube, Douro, Rhine, Rhône and Seine. What is it that makes city breaks by ship so appealing? The opportunity for guests to discover different cities, towns and landscapes. For us it’s a privilege to be able to explore iconic destinations and lesser-known locales – and we love to share it with our guests. While we will always do all we can to give our guests a care free holiday, we will always care aboutthe people and places our visits touch.Our cruises take us right into areas where people live, which is one of the reasons why inland navigation is subject to very strict regulations – particularly compared with navigation at sea – and rigorous inspections. As a recent study shows, all things considered, inland navigation is the most environmentally friendly mode of transport, surpassing even train travel. The factors taken into account for the study included impact on the climate, air pollution, accidents and noise pollution.At A-ROSA we’re aware that past and present environmental challenges require a long-term approach. That’s the only way we’ll be able to preserve both quality of life in urban areas and the natural environment for future generations. As a company we believe that this is our responsibility, and our actions in all areas of environmental protection put us at the very forefront of our industry.Lasting responsibility: As part of our sustainability strategy, we review and refine the actions listed here on an ongoing basis.

Wonderful Danube River Cruise on the A-Rosa Donna!

26-Jul-2023

Our party of 4 (2 couples) thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful week on the A-Rosa Donna, Danube river cruise. All the crew from the cleaners to the Captain were first class, all so friendly and helpful, making our holiday a very special time. All the food was excellent, such a variety every day and a great selection of drinks too. We would like to make a special mention to the dining/drinks crew members who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay, they were brilliant! We have already recommended this holiday to family and friends and will definitely be booking future river cruises with A-Rosa. Thank you!
