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.
All staterooms on the A-ROSA Bella are outside staterooms. The staterooms on deck 1 (category S and A) have a panoramic window and are around 14.5 to 15.5 sqm in size.

A small relaxation area invites you to relax between the sauna sessions. There are also two very nice rooms for massage and wellness treatments with a view outside (treatments for a fee). On the sundeck there is a heated, small pool and plenty of sun loungers - and umbrellas that invite you to linger and enjoy.
A-ROSA has drawn up an extensive land program. Basically, A-ROSA offers you four categories of excursions: adventure tours, discovery tours, bike tours and pleasure tours. You can book all excursions on board. There are mostly sightseeing trips, trips to castles, wineries and other sights in the area. Boat trips or walks are also on the program. The tours are operated by local agencies. The on-board bicycles are used for trips into the area (different levels of difficulty). You cannot bring your own bicycle due to lack of space.
