Update from A-ROSA river cruises

Your holiday is our top priority! That's why our A-ROSA Care Team always keeps an eye on current developments that could influence our cruises. Since events often occur spontaneously – and can also change or settle at short notice – we always inform you as soon as possible about relevant topics on this page.

Water levels

As water levels can fluctuate very quickly, it may be possible that itineraries and, if necessary, ports of embarkation and disembarkation will be adjusted. We are in constant dialogue with the port authorities and the respective water management offices along the itineraries. We check the conditions for each river stretch between the respective ports daily to ensure that the sailing can be carried out safely. In principle, a cruise can also operate at lower or higher water levels. Only from a certain point onwards is it not possible to operate a cruise as originally planned.

Ukraine

At A-ROSA, the safety and wellbeing of all guests and crewmembers is always our highest priority. We are following the developments in Ukraine very closely and are in constant contact with the foreign port authorities.

Danube

A-ROSA’s Danube cruises start and end in Passau, Germany, and the ships sail to impressive countries and cities. On the 18-night cruise "Danube City & Nature" short passages lead along the Romanian-Ukrainian border. Therefore, the A-ROSA ships will not call at Tulcea on their way to the Delta, but at the Romanian city of Constanţa, which is located at the south-western Black Sea coast.

From Constanţa, guests also have the opportunity to explore the impressive Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve with its unique flora and fauna during a guided full-day excursion. Thus, the A-ROSA ships will bypass the Romanian-Ukrainian border zone and sail exclusively in the Romanian part of the Danube Delta, which is not affected by the current situation in Ukraine. All other Danube cruises will be operated as scheduled.

City taxes in ports of call

Some of our ports of call levy additional city taxes such as bed taxes or tourism or cultural taxes, which are not included in the cruise price. As a tour operator, we are obliged to collect and forward these charges on behalf of the cities. The charges are settled via our guests’ onboard accounts.

You can find a current overview of the respective cities and their fees here. Please note that this information may change at short notice.
