Dining on an A-ROSA river cruise
What's dining like on an A-ROSA river cruise? 👇👨🍳
We serve our food buffet-style on most of our ships. Buffets can sometimes get a bad rap, but for us, it's all part of the freedom and flexibility. And the third 'F' too: freshness.
Guests can expect rainbow-coloured salads and veggies, springy-in-the-centre breads (people LOVE our breads so much they pay to take a loaf home), delicious meat and fish dishes and the opportunity to try cooked-before-your-eyes treats courtesy of our talented chefs.
For a special occasion, suggest guests book one of our Wine & Dine experiences. Available on all cruises five nights or longer, these multi-course meals promise flavours from the regions we sail through served in an exclusive setting.
Who's hungry? 🙋♀️

If budget allows, we always recommend upgrading to a balcony cabin... 🤩
(but read on to see where we offer them as standard! 😉)
Set on decks two and three of our ships, our balcony cabins are Juliet affairs with glass doors opening to your own panoramic views of the river. Unbelievably peaceful, they're the best way to appreciate the leisurely journey through the ever-changing cityscapes and abundant nature of Europe's waterways. Whether it's swans swimming alongside or wild horses on the riverbanks, it's a view that never gets old 🌿🦢
On A-ROSA SENA, meanwhile, balcony cabins come as part of the package. On all of our cabins (except our dedicated family cabins, sleeping up to five), guests can expect their own-patch of step-out space complete with an al fresco table and chairs. Perfect for enjoying scenic sailing through the wide open scenery of Holland and the Northern Rhine.
Supplements vary, but average from around £450pp to upgrade from our standard outside cabin. Our friendly Reservations team at A-ROSA Packages can talk you through all the options (and help with any other questions you might have too!).
Sit back, relax and enjoy the journey 🩵
Our first team meeting of the year and our first chance to welcome our fabulous new Sales Manager for the North, Emma Rodgers to the team! 🌹
From £50 Love2shop per booking through Jan & Feb to a brand new 2024 & 2025 brochure, our tremendous trade-friendly team are here to make your Peaks pop 🤘
