A-ROSA AQUA:
Cruising on a river is certainly not the fastest mode of transportation.
And the countless meanders of the Rhine, Danube and Rhône are not the fastest way to get from A to B either. But that’s precisely what we want to give you: a little time for you to relax and unwind. As you leisurely take in the breathtaking riverscape, you can really take time for yourself. Make yourself comfortable in your cosy cabin or simply daydream in SPA-ROSA and on the sun deck. If you like, you can also take part in our many exciting activities.
4 nights in a double stateroom (category a) onboard the A-ROSA Aqua.
