Dining
The Market Restaurant is the ship’s Dining Room (no table reservations needed). It has an open kitchen and Buffet station. The A-ROSA ALVA’s dining room menu features low-calorie, itinerary-based (regional) specialties and traditional Mediterranean dishes. Food on board is prepared with fresh locally sourced ingredients and products.
Dining is a truly un-regimented affair – unlike other river vessels, the dining room opens its welcoming arms when you are ready, rather than at a specified time. A lavish buffet with a la minute cookery stations entices you with fresh ingredients and plenty of choice. In addition, a speciality waiter service restaurant offers an alternative option, with a new menu every night and the opportunity to dine here up to three times during the week. Weather permitting, you can choose to dine al fresco around pool as you watch the beautiful scenery pass by.
On some evenings, served onboard will be a themed 3-course-dinner in a reserved part of the restaurant. A-ROSA advises guests to sign up for this evening at the reception or with the Maître as seats are limited. On these evenings, the buffet restaurant is also open as usual.
The themed evenings are at an extra charge.

Entertainment
Time on the sun deck can be measured in sunsets, laps in the pool, glasses of wine or the number of new friends you’ve made. But for most, time just stands still as you take in Europe’s fabled towns and picturesque countryside from your chaise lounge.
The motto topside on the sun deck is “anything is possible, but nothing is required… just enjoy.”

Health & Fitness

The ship's top deck features a heated swimming pool, complete with a shower and a large sunbathing area with loungers.

Experience beauty and anti-ageing treatments with facials, as well as comforting warmth in the sauna or sanarium, which let you benefit from more vitality and radiance. When selecting products, we deliberately chose the German producer BABOR and the company La mer from Cuxhaven for you. Both stand for extraordinary results in the treatments, innovations, high skin compatibility and responsibility towards their personnel and the environment. Your SPA-ROSA feels a responsibility to give you the greatest possible recuperative effect during your cruise. We hope that, long after your holiday is over, you will often hear someone say, ‘You look so relaxed.’
Active recreation is offered in the especially developed exercise programme. Deep relaxation and intense well-being can be found with these treatments unique to A-ROSA.

Kids & Teen
For children, our cruise ships are like a giant floating playground. Ship voyages are adventures, and those adventures are best experienced with our Kids Club – together with other children, experienced children´s entertainer and lots of activities, such as ship treasure hunts, a pirate day or a creative atelier. Parents can relax with a clear conscience, in our spa for example, while their kids experience all manners of adventures. And in the evening everyone will find their favourite dish at the buffet even your little gourmets with our special kid’s menus.
- Animation program for children and teenagers between 4 and 15 years old
- Daily up to three kids club times
- The when, where and what will be communicated the evening before
- The supervision responsibility remains with the parents, as the children can still move freely on board
