A-ROSA Rheinkreuzfahrt in detail
Hotel
Whether you’re enjoying some time to yourself with a view or relaxing in good company, aboard the A-ROSA SENA you can set your own pace. Peace and quiet or socialising? Activity or relaxation? You can enjoy both here, in particularly elegant surroundings.
At 135 metres long and 17.7 metres wide, with space for up to 280 guests, the A-ROSA SENA is one of the largest and most modern ships in the fleet.
Contemporary design, thoughtfully planned spaces and a high level of comfort make it the ideal setting for a Rhine cruise that leaves a lasting impression – inspiring, unhurried and refreshingly different.
A moment at the railing is all it takes: the landscape glides gently by, almost in silence. It’s not about speed, but about making time for meaningful experiences, remarkable views and the feeling of being exactly where you want to be.
The A-ROSA SENA is also at the forefront of onboard technology. Its innovative hybrid propulsion system, with an electric motor and battery storage, allows it to enter the Rhine’s most beautiful ports in near silence and with almost no emissions – sustainably, with an eye to the future and in harmony with nature.
The A-ROSA SENA represents a new generation of river cruising: stylish, smart and reassuringly considered.
Food & Drink
Every day aboard the A-ROSA SENA begins with a good feeling and an even better breakfast. As part of Premium All-Inclusive, a generous breakfast buffet awaits, with something to suit every taste. At lunchtime and in the evening, varied buffets tempt you with live-cooking stations, where fresh ingredients are prepared right before your eyes – creative, delicious and always offering something new.
A welcome snack as you board and an elegant afternoon coffee and tea service provide delicious little breaks throughout the day, naturally with views of the water.
Everything is taken care of throughout the day: coffee, tea, soft drinks, water, juices, sparkling wine, selected beers and wines are all included.
Four dining areas, no fixed dining times and complete flexibility: whether you choose the relaxed A-ROSA MARKET, the light-filled PAVILION, the cosy A-ROSA Café or the open-air deck, you can eat whenever and wherever suits you. You’re free to choose your own table, too.
Families can enjoy their own welcoming retreat in the thoughtfully designed Family Area, with plenty of space for meals together and relaxed time as a family.
An evening highlight is SENA GRILL, the exclusive à la carte restaurant serving exceptional steak and seafood creations – perfect for a special dining experience.
As the day draws to a close, the atmosphere becomes especially inviting. Unwind with a glass of wine or a creative cocktail in the elegant panoramic lounge, with its bar and dance floor, or at the stylish UP & DOWN BAR on the sun deck, as the river’s changing light drifts by.
Onboard Dress Code
The dress code in all restaurants is casual chic. Gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers in the evening to complement the elegant atmosphere of the onboard dining venues.
Wellness & Spa
In the spacious SPA-ROSA, an exclusive wellness world invites body and mind to find their balance again. Whether you’re seeking soothing warmth or invigorating freshness, genuine deep relaxation meets thoughtfully designed surroundings.
The classic Finnish sauna, a relaxing whirlpool, the comfortably heated Heat Bench and the refreshing ice grotto combine to create a holistic experience for the senses. Perfect for anyone looking to switch off mindfully and recharge.
The stylishly appointed relaxation room, with views of the fireplace, invites you to pause for a while – quietly, warmly and entirely at your own pace. For a little refreshment between moments of relaxation, the self-service bar offers a selection of refreshing drinks to round off your spa experience.
SPA-ROSA is more than wellness. It’s a place where relaxation becomes tangible: stylish, thoughtfully designed and centred entirely on your wellbeing.

All the while, the river flows peacefully by, and you can enjoy the feeling of doing something good for both body and mind.
Pool area
On board the A-ROSA SENA, a thoughtfully designed pool experience has something for everyone. While adults unwind in the stylish pool area, swim a few lengths or simply enjoy the view of the passing river scenery, the separate kids’ pool is full of activity. Children can splash, play and laugh in a space designed with them in mind, with safety and plenty of fun at its heart. It’s a chance to create special family moments, with something for everyone: enjoy time together, while still having room to yourself.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing break or a little action, this concept brings relaxation and enjoyment together perfectly.

Games, fun and a little exercise – all at your own pace, whenever the mood takes you, and with plenty of good cheer. Perfect for anyone looking to get active between activities or share memorable moments together.
Shore Excursions
Every port has its own story, and the varied A-ROSA excursions (available for an additional charge) offer a particularly comfortable and inspiring way to discover it.
Whether on foot, by coach or exploring actively by bike, the tours offer fascinating insights into local culture, nature and everyday life.
If you enjoy staying active, guided cycling tours are a great way to experience the surrounding area at close quarters.
Alternatively, walking tours, sightseeing drives and visits invite you to discover the highlights at a relaxed pace – ideal for those who like to take their time and the curious alike.
For those looking for something out of the ordinary, there are themed tours and excursions using unusual forms of transport. A real highlight is sampling regional produce directly from the people who make it – authentic, local and delicious.
Families are well catered for too: many tours are varied and child-friendly, creating shared experiences that bring everyone together. And if you have something specific in mind, you can book private excursions by van or car, with your own driver and guide if you wish.
