A city break sounds good. But a succession of cities sounds even better. And this is exactly what you can look forward to when you get on board an A-ROSA ship. The best crêpes in the city? Shopping streets that will set your heart racing? Or how about that quirky museum you’ve heard so much...

- HFHelen· December 20th, 2024We had a lovely trip and thought the staff were excellent and looked after us very well. Sabrina was an excellent cruise Coordinator very organised. Would thoroughly recommend your company to friends and family.Trip date: December 2024
- HBHelen· November 29th, 2024The boat tour was great, staff fantastic my only problem is one of the markets they took us to was not open. But the boat announcer did not let us know that so we got Off at 7pm walking around on a rainy night looking for xmas markets that were not Open. If you want to be sure all markets are Open go a few weeks later.Show more

Marinette· January 6th, 2024Predominantly German passengers on our cruise. There were 10 of us international english speaking passengers. Cruise staff were accommodating, courteous, some nice. Too cold/rainy to enjoy top open deck of boat (great in summer!). Had a fabulous time visiting different Christmas markets; very festive (gets more crowded at night)! Towns we docked/visited along the Rhine are all very near the ports; all walkable within a few minutes; we just self toured. Wonderful experience overall!Show moreA-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Marinette, Thank you for going onboard with A-ROSA and taking your time to sharing your your kind words with us and the community. We are glad to hear that you had a delightful cruise experience along the Rhine! Exploring Christmas markets and... Show moreTrip date: December 2023
