A-Rosa sets sail on Rhine

A-Rosa Flussschiff re-embarked on its Rhine river cruises on Friday, with the departure from Cologne of its 10 day Experience the Northern Rhine and Moselle itinerary.

The move follows A-Rosa Alba beginning the Douro cruises on June 17. Danube cruises began on Saturday while itineraries in France are due to start on July 11.

Jörg Eichler, CEO of A-Rosa Flussschiff GmbH said: “We are so pleased that our ships can once again set sail on some of Europe’s most beautiful rivers. The initial feedback from our guests who are currently sailing on the Douro has been very positive and today is another important step for us as we restart on the Rhine. We have worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth implementation of our new health and hygiene concept so that our guests have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, safe in the knowledge that we have their health, safety and well-being at the very heart of all we are doing.”

A-Rosa’s first voyages will depart with reduced capacity, which will vary from ship to ship. The pool, gym and spa remain open in compliance with new hygiene regulations. Tours will operate in smaller groups than normal.
