The A-ROSA Brava was built in 2011 in the Neptun shipyard in Rostock (Germany) and has 99 outside staterooms. With a length of 135 m and 4 passenger decks, it offers 202 guests space for a wonderful river cruise on the Rhine. The ship offers many amenities that ships of other river cruise companies do not offer, such as a beautiful wellness area with sauna.
A-ROSA has been offering river cruises on a first-class level with a "modern" finish for 15 years. The cruise line welcomes you in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with spacious and bright cabins and with varied and fresh cuisine. The casual atmosphere is emphasised by the fact that no particular dress-codes or seating times are expected . Various activities and wellness on board as well as interesting country programs complete the range at A-ROSA. Please note that the onboard language is German. Menus, itineraries or other documents can not be provided in any other language.
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 Brava are outside staterooms. The staterooms on deck 1 (category S and A) have small windows and are around 14.5 sqm. The cabins on decks 2 and 3 (categories C and D, 14.5 sqm) have a french balcony. All staterooms are equipped with a full bathroom with hairdryer and have a chair, a small table and a TV. In addition, all staterooms have a safe, air conditioning and a telephone.

The tours are operated by local agencies. A-ROSA has its own bicycles and offers guided bicycle tours at various stations. You cannot bring your own bicycles due to lack of space onboard.
