A-ROSA Riva Sustainability
A-ROSA has had a sustainability department since 2022, which works closely with the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI). All ships in the fleet have a shore power connection and are powered by marine gas oil without heavy fuel oil during the voyage. Waste is continuously reduced, for example through the use of paper straws and careful separation of waste. In addition, many care and cleaning products on board are made with certified ingredients. To save water, towels and bed linen are only cleaned as required during the voyage.
Atmosphere on board
On the A-ROSA ships you feel like you are in a very good hotel: the furnishings are modern and elegant. Light colours, large panoramic windows and a spacious salon create plenty of room for you to relax, enjoy and at the same time experience a lot during your holiday. The guests are often somewhat younger than on river cruises with other providers. Now and then, families also like to travel with A-ROSA during their holidays. Guests dress sportily and elegantly, formal attire is not required.
