About A-ROSA Sena

A-ROSA Sena belongs to A-ROSA River Cruises's E-Motion series and entered service in 2022. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 135 metres in length and accommodates up to 280 guests in 140 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 Sena 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 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 E-Motion ships from the rest of the European fleet.
