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...

    Itinerary is comfortable. Walkable. Pier not far from sights.

    Predominantly 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!
