About A-ROSA Brava
A-ROSA Brava belongs to A-ROSA River Cruises's A-ROSA Premium series and entered service in 2011. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 135 metres in length and accommodates up to 186 guests in 93 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.
A-ROSA is the largest German-language river cruise operator. Its lime-and-charcoal liveried ships sail the Rhine, Danube, Main, Moselle, Rhône-Saône, Seine and Douro with a casual, family-friendly product. The newer E-Motion and Sena classes are battery-hybrid vessels designed for emission-free port stays. A-ROSA Brava reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.
The ship's typical home waters are the Rhine, where she runs 6 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
