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...

    The 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.

    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!
