The A-ROSA Experience
For over 20 years, A-ROSA have been shaking off the formal image of river cruising to create a refreshingly different way to sail Europe’s rivers. Designed for couples, families and groups alike, A-ROSA’s laidback voyages combine all of the highlights of this beautiful way to travel with all of the flexibility you need to completely relax and enjoy your holiday, your way.
That means lots of freedom to explore ports at your own pace and a wonderfully casual on-board atmosphere whether you’re watching the river scenery dreamily drift by from a cosy lounger in the spa or choosing from the indulgent buffets served without set dining times or table sizes.
Even better, an A-ROSA river cruise is always all-inclusive too. So, you can raise a glass to new discoveries with a choice of wines, beers, Prosecco, soft drinks and speciality teas and coffees throughout the day. And tuck into delicious, regionally inspired flavours and international favourites at breakfast, lunch and dinner, all included in the price.
Set sail through one of five regions, stretching from the Imperial capitals of the Danube and the fairy-tale castles of the Rhine to the scenic pleasures of the Moselle, the inimitable joie de vivre of France and the sun-drenched charms of Portugal’s Douro.
River Cruises with A-ROSA
A city break sounds good. But a city break in multiple cities sounds even better. And this is exactly what you can look forward to when you get on board an A-ROSA ship. The best crêpes in the city? Shopping streets that will set your heart racing? Or how about that quirky museum you’ve heard so much about?
Everything is literally at the doorstep of your hotel room. Our berths in the major cities of Europe are mostly in the very centre of the city. So, arrive in a destination, grab your handbag or backpack, and get going! Take photos, make memories, experience a new place! Alone or on guided tours. By foot or on an A-ROSA bicycle. Your holiday, your decision.
And as your premium hotel moves from city to city, you have everything you would expect from a premium hotel on deck – views of the spectacular landscape, delicious drinks, minigolf, a spa and a lot of sunshine. Whether you’re in your spacious cabin, at the pool or in our restaurant. Simply drift along and enjoy your dream holiday, which has just become a reality.
Embark on a journey with the AMADEUS fleet — enjoy the convenience of only having to unpack your suitcase once then sit back as your floating hotel cruises to a new destination every day. The ambiance of your luxurious stateroom invites you to relax in the morning before your discovery tours and unwind in style at the end of a full day's activities. Regardless of category or deck level, light-filled living spaces artfully combined with contemporary décor make your stateroom a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Proudly American-made, our intimate ships offer a unique blend of luxury and heritage, inviting you to experience the warmth of personalized service as you explore the hidden gems of the United States.
Enjoy the intimate, comfortable, and fulfilling experience of small ship river cruising aboard the newest fleet of cruise ships in the world. American Cruise Lines brings you to the greatest destinations along the inland waterways and rivers of the East Coast, Pacific Northwest, Mississippi and Alaska.
Their modern fleet of ships offer a unique, personal voyage through America's historic waterways. With no more than 150 passengers onboard, their ships provide spacious accommodations and smooth travel through the protected waterways, sheltered harbours, and magnificent rivers of the United States of America.
Leading U.S. Cruise Line
American Cruise Lines has explored America for more than 50 years. Our company roots began in 1972 with our founder Charles A. Robertson (1947-2020), a shipbuilder, who started American Cruise Lines with his wife, Carol. Together, they worked to build the company from the ground up.
Made in America
Since that time, American Cruise Lines has pioneered new routes, introduced new ship technology to the cruise industry, and grown into a U.S. leader in small ship cruising. We are the only American-owned and operated cruise line. All ships are built in the USA, flagged in the USA, and crewed by Americans.
Largest Fleet with the Most Itinerary Options
Today, American Cruise Lines operates 21 ships in 35 states, offering an unmatched breadth of ships and itinerary options. Our formula for success is unchanged through the decades with an unwavering passion to provide the finest cruise experience as we explore our country together.
CELEBRATING 95 YEARS OF TRAVEL
As Australia’s largest family-owned tour and cruise company, we are committed to delivering unforgettable travel experiences to our valued guests. What began as just a vision, over 95 years ago, has now grown into a proud global business, demonstrating the power of dreaming fully.
Our Essential Holidays, operated by APT Travelmarvel, offer superior comfort at a price that represents marvellous value. You’ll enjoy the perfect balance of inclusions and leisure time – delivered with the same expertise, knowledge and personal service of APT.
Each holiday includes hand-picked accommodation, quality meals and included sightseeing; and with a collection of special stays, local insights and memorable meals, our thoughtfully selected Insider Experiences give you the chance to gain a greater insight into each remarkable region without additional expense. While many iconic experiences are included throughout your journey, there will always be ample leisure time to explore each destination at your own pace.
No other fleet of river cruise ships offers you a view of the world like Avalon Suite Ships,® featuring Avalon Panorama SuitesSM. Thirty percent larger than the industry standard, they’re actually river cruising’s only Open–Air Balcony® — with nothing between you and the view. While other river cruise cabins are designed with beds against a wall for a view of another wall, our Comfort Collection BedsSM actually face the view with the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising. Think of it as a view with a room!
When river cruising was a privilege for the wealthy, CroisiEurope developed an affordable cruising concept offering the best value in river cruises at great prices, and appealing to every traveler.
This was possible thanks to our involvement in all the steps: from the simple idea to the construction of our ships, the assembly of our crews, and the full integration of sales and logistical (purchasing, cuisine and maintenance) teams. Your pleasure is our priority, and we aim to provide just that in the comfort of our boats and the quality of the service you receive when dining. We call on all our expertise to better serve you, including working in partnership with some of the most renowned French chefs, such as Paul Bocuse and Marc Haeberlin.
Operating 50 company-owned ships and five chartered vessels, the CroisiEurope river cruise company is proud to be the greatest river ship owners in Europe. Although the Rhine and its tributaries and the Danube remain the major river cruise destinations in Europe, we knew how to develop creative itineraries that appeal to everyone. But we also knew it was important to expand our cruises to unique destinations. These include the Seine and the Rhône, of course, but also the Tisza in Hungary, the Guadalquivir in Spain, the Douro in Portugal, the Dordogne and the Garonne in Bordeaux. Don’t forget our more exotic destinations as well: the Mekong in Vietnam and the lake Kariba in Southern Africa.
"Today, we are truly proud to offer you the largest variety of destinations within Europe."
Our founder’s pioneering spirit has been passed down through the generations. After having developed the novel concept of a Sea cruise on the Adriatic aboard a 200-passenger, top-comfort and high-tech ship (La Belle de l’Adriatique), CroisiEurope revamped the feel of cruising the French canals in Alsace, Burgundy, Oise Valley, Champagne, Upper Loire, Provence, and Paris with a fleet of new, modern and comfortable hotel barges.
With just 12 cabins, these barges bring you to the heart of each one of these regions to discover the hidden treasures awaiting you. As a French company we were proud to be the first and only line to launch river cruises on the Loire. In a worldwide premier, our new revolutionary boat equipped with a paddle wheel will bring you into the interior of a mythical region like you have never experienced before. Alsatian, but French. French, but European.
CroisiEurope knew how to become global by providing cruises in some of the world’s most fabulous destinations. And it’s with this passion, friendliness, and professionalism that we welcome you aboard our fleet.
