Families are always on the go. So, it´s not easy to get everyone together and simply spend time in one another´s company. Playing, telling stories, listening, laughing, hugging and enjoying delicious food are the glue that binds families together. We believe that our A-ROSA ships are the perfect place to spend time like this.
Family means adventures every day. Particularly when everybody travels together to explore new exciting places. One such place is the family cabin. This has a generously sized double bed and two high-quality single beds. The perfect place to make your own little retreat or plan your next excursion.
The A-ROSA Kids Club The A-ROSA child and youth care does not let boredom arise.
Delicious favourite dishes, family tables and special surprises await you on all rivers. On board, an experienced host takes care of the youngest. The offer for the Kids Club takes place on selected family ships.
ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMME: Design their own T-Shirt, Creative Studio, Pop-Up Cards, Ship Rally, Face Painting, Theme days, such as Pirate Day, Board Games, Painting and Crafting, Different Exercises, Photo and Movie Activities, Ship Newspaper, Children/Youth Show.

Itinerary
Explore the day-by-day breakdown of your journey through Rhine.
Day 1
Cologne
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2
Willemstad
The former Dutch fortress of Willemstad is a tranquil little village with a delightful harbor. And of course, a typical dutch town like this can't lack a windmill! During a walk through the quiet town you will surely discover one.
Day 3
Gent (Ghent)
We will now head along the northern Rhine towards Ghent. Here you’ll find splendid architecture, artistic masterpieces, delightful landscapes and absolute tranquillity. The capital of East Flanders is part of a quartet of Flemish centres of art – the others being Antwerp, Bruges and Brussels. Discover Ghent’s treasures, including the baroque Saint Bavo’s Cathedral and the imposing Gravensteen, a moated castle. And in the old town, you’re sure to find a nice place to sample a good cup of coffee and some Belgian delicacies.
Day 4
Vlissingen
The seaside resort of Vlissingen is located directly by the sea and impresses with its beautiful beaches and long promenade. Here, you can relax and enjoy the maritime atmosphere in peace. The history of the region is presented through modern multimedia techniques at the "muZEEm" museum.
Day 5
Brussel (Bruxelles)
Brussels is both the capital of Belgium and the headquarters of the European Union. A whole host of unique sights – including the famous Manneken Pis – await you. And while you’re in Brussels, make sure you try the many Belgian specialities that the city has to offer – or pick up some original Belgian chocolates as a gift for your loved ones. Mmm – lovely!
Day 6
Gorinchem
Welcome to the largest fortified town in the Netherlands. In Gorinchem, you don't have to look far to find the town's history, as the former fortifications have been preserved almost in their entirety. A special footpath now leads over the ramparts and promises wonderful vistas. On the 'Langendijk', Gorinchem's most beautiful shopping street, you can experience a great mix of old and new, with modern shops in a historic setting.
Day 7
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 8
Cologne
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
