4 Nights from Cologne to Rotterdam, Huizen and Emmerich to Cologne.

Day 1: Cologne
Welcome to Cologne! The typical friendliness that you find at every turn makes visitors feel at home right away. It’s not unusual to quickly get chatting to strangers and even go for a couple of glasses of Kölsch with them. The main landmark – Cologne Cathedral – watches over the whole city. It is the third-tallest church building in the world, at 157.38 metres. It might be a bit of a trek up to the top of the tower, but it’s worth it. You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the city and the Rhine spread out before you. 

Day 2: Rotterdam
Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban and international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. Be prepared to be amazed by the fantastic skyline, featuring the the Erasmusbrug bridge. Rotterdam is home to Europe’s largest port, as well as being a major transport hub. It’s no surprise that this is a centre of contemporary architecture, featuring the famoust Kijk-Kubus, and the Witte Huis, which was the first skyscraper in Europe. Several impressive new skyscrapers have sprung up over the past 20 years.

Day 3: Huizen
Welcome to the Dutch city of Huizen! The city is located on the banks of the Gooimeer, part of the IJsselmeer, and is known for its picturesque location, historic architecture and maritime atmosphere. Huizen has a rich history as a fishing village, but over the years the economy has diversified to include trade, tourism and services. Visitors can explore the charming old town with its traditional houses, cozy cafés, stores and marina. The surrounding nature offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and water sports, making Huizen a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

Day 4: Emmerich
The small beautiful town of Emmerich on the lower Lower Rhine gives you a nice time out on land during your cruise. Here you can take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the magnificent view of the Rhine while discovering the “Golden Gate Bridge of the Lower Rhine”, a suspension bridge spanning over the Rhine, which, just like its role model, can be seen from afar in vibrant red. Definitely worth taking a souvenir photo!

Day 5: Cologne
Welcome to Cologne! The typical friendliness that you find at every turn makes visitors feel at home right away. It’s not unusual to quickly get chatting to strangers and even go for a couple of glasses of Kölsch with them. The main landmark – Cologne Cathedral – watches over the whole city. It is the third-tallest church building in the world, at 157.38 metres. It might be a bit of a trek up to the top of the tower, but it’s worth it. You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the city and the Rhine spread out before you. 

The modern cruise ships of A-ROSA offer a lot of open space. At 125 to 135 metres, the ships spend space for various activities and a generous design of the public areas. The roomy cabins are air-conditioned, sometimes with French balcony, elegant and comfortably furnished.

Whether your idea of luxury is a round of golf on deck or a comfortable room, A-ROSA offers exclusive relaxation to suit every taste. In the spacious cabins, with an area of up to 16.5 m², you can relax completely and enjoy the view from the French balcony. If you haven’t had enough of basking in the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing, you can relax on the sun deck by the pool or in the SPA-ROSA. There is also no shortage of culinary treats on board. The extensive selection of delicacies includes Mediterranean cuisine and regional specialties, and they are always presented perfectly – with display cooking or dinner on deck. In a nutshell, the state-of-the-art river boats offer you indulgence of the highest order.

Enjoy simply drifting along on the expansive sun deck. Comfortable loungers and a large sun canopy make it the perfect place to relax. While you lean back and read a book, the crew will pamper you with refreshing drinks.

There are countless options for ways to spend your days on deck – and your nights too.
