- HJHelen· October 29th, 2025My overall experience in relation to spoken English language throughout the cruise by the ships personnel/entertainment staff and the guided tours was a complete disappointment as The English language was largely non existant and on the few ocassions when English translation was made it was at best very poor in fact almost a non event. The advertising of the cruise regarding spoken English was both misleading and false. My booking was made based on TourRadars web site information where it was advertised that the cruise was in "English and other languages on request i.e.,German". In addition, the web site advised that the cruise was "guided in English with experienced guides to be with you the entire tour". On the basis of the advertised tours I booked tours for each port of call only to be advised on embarkation that there was no tours in English as there were insufficient English speaking guests. This situation completely defeated my purpose of booking the cruise. I was left with the option of staying on the ship, self guiding in foreign ports or for 50% reduction in each tour charge accompanying the German tour group and German speaking guide. This was an isolating experience experience with complete lack of inclusion. Whilst the food standard was excellent in quality and variety, the seating arrangements in the dinning room left much to be desired. It was advised that seat reservations be made (at a charge per day) in order to secure a seat at the table or alternatively be left at each meal time to find a seating placement if available. As I booked and paid for the premium all inclusive category, my expectation was that I would not then be required to pay additional fees to secure a dinning placement or alternatively to be left to scramble around to find a seat at every meal time. Having travelled with several other cruise companies over a number of years I have been in the position to make comaparisons and can only conclude that this cruise with ARosa Aqua not only provided false/misleading advertising information but has been a distressing and most dissatisfying experience for me. I would request that my review be responded to in a satisfactory manner without the need to elevate the matter to the Australian Competition Consumer Commission for an outcome.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Peter Paul· September 8th, 2025Service on board was excellent! Waiters and room service were great. But entertainment wise was rather poor. Cruise was was advertised as German and English mostly German was used. Out of 38 minutes in German, English was use for 3 minutes?? WE had to ask for some translation.. The Cruise administration and presentation on adverting are very misleading. Premium All-Inclusive is just a misleading name and I think it is not the right name for a package!!! Even to have a reserved seats for meals we were asked for daily fee!Show more
A-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Peter, thank you so much for your review. We are delighted that you were satisfied with the service on board. We will pass on your comments regarding the lack of information in English. This is not our standard. Best regards, A-ROSA TeamTrip date: August 2025 - INEZ· September 7th, 2025When booking such a river cruise and the details say that the language on board will be in German and English, it should be so! It was really frustrating for English speakers on board, having to keep asking because announcements were delivered ONLY in German most of the time. Also, dining seating should be 'free' included in the price NOT at a charge per person per day if you prefer to sit together with family or friends.Show moreA-ROSA commented on this reviewDear Inez, thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear that our bilingual standard was not maintained during your trip. We will pass this on accordingly, as our aim is to offer river cruises in both German and English.

Asked on September 6th, 2025are shore excursions included in the guided tout

Asked on December 22nd, 2024I'm interested in your Belgium tour package I have to travel in April 2025 with my wife and my son. You have any package available in this month
- A-ROSAOperator•Written December 2024
Yes, indeed we do have departure dates in the month of April of 2025. Could you kindly let us know the exact age of your child so that we can quote you pricing and relevant details?

Kate
Asked on October 2nd, 2024Just a little confused, on this rhine Netherlands, two separate quotes one includes Emmerich, but without this the quote is cheaper. where would we be on day seven, surely the same place.
- A-ROSAOperator•Written October 2024
That's a really good question. I've taken a look and it seems like our website has a duplicate of the same itinerary as both of them include Emmerich. The base price difference must be that the itineraries are displaying different cabin categories. I have advised our tech team to remove one of the pages. The correct itinerary is 7 Nights from Cologne, Willemstad, Ghent, Vlissingen, Brussels, Gorinchem and Emmerich to Cologne. At the moment we have the following availability on July 26th, 2025: Category A 2-bed outside cabin, Deck 1 with porthole windows- Price per person €898.00, around 774.92 GBP. Category C 2-bed outside cabin, Deck 2 with Juliette balcony - Price per person €1,198.00, around 1,060.82 GBP. Category D 2-bed outside cabin, Deck 3 with Juliette balcony - Price per person €1,298.00, around 1,149.80 GBP.

Traveler•Written May 2024Do you have any news for me about the discount that was offered in the voucher that I sent?

The operator has responded and has provided clarity. Since this itinerary and travel date is already discounted up to 30% they will not allow you to stack the voucher.
