About A-ROSA Mia

A-ROSA Mia belongs to A-ROSA River Cruises's A-ROSA Classic series and entered service in 2003. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 124 metres in length and accommodates up to 242 guests in 121 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 Mia 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 Danube, where she runs 4 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.

Background reading: our long-form explainer of the A-ROSA River Cruises fleet philosophy covers the design choices that distinguish A-ROSA Classic ships from the rest of the European fleet.
