Ship Description
Whether it's me-time with a view or relaxed hours in good company, aboard the A-ROSA SENA, you set your own pace. Quiet or social? Active or relaxed? Both are possible here, and in a particularly stylish way.
With a length of 135 meters, a width of 17.7 meters, and space for up to 280 guests, the A-ROSA SENA is among the largest and most modern ships in the fleet.
Modern design, thoughtful space concepts, and high comfort make it the ideal stage for a Rhine journey with depth - inspiring, decelerating, and refreshingly different.
A moment at the railing is enough: The landscape passes by gently, almost silently. It's not about speed, but about taking time for genuine experiences, special views, and the good feeling of being in the right moment.
Technically, the A-ROSA SENA is also ahead: The innovative hybrid drive with electric motor and battery storage ensures whisper-quiet, almost emission-free entry into the most beautiful ports of the Rhine - sustainable, future-oriented, and in harmony with nature.
The A-ROSA SENA represents a new generation of river travel: stylish, smart, and with a good feeling.

In between, a welcome snack upon boarding and a stylish coffee and tea hour in the afternoon provide tasty breaks, naturally always with a view of the water.
All day long, everything is taken care of: coffee, tea, soft drinks, water, juices, sparkling wine, selected beers, and wines are included.
Four restaurant areas, no fixed dining times, complete flexibility: Whether in the casual "A-ROSA MARKET", the sunlit "PAVILION", the cosy "A-ROSA Café", or relaxed in the outdoor area under the open sky - dine whenever and wherever it suits you. Free seating included.
For families, the lovingly designed Family Area offers a private retreat with plenty of space for shared meals and relaxed time together.
A real highlight in the evening: the "SENA GRILL", the exclusive à la carte restaurant with the finest steak and seafood creations, perfect for special moments of indulgence.
And as the day gently winds down, the mood becomes even more atmospheric: In the elegant Panorama Lounge with a bar and dance floor, or in the stylish "UP & DOWN BAR" on the sun deck, enjoy the evening with a glass of wine or a creative cocktail, accompanied by the light play of the passing river.
Dress Code On Board

Pool Area
On board the A-ROSA SENA, a thoughtfully designed water experience awaits that delights everyone: While adults relax in the stylish pool area, swim a few laps, or simply enjoy the view of the passing river landscape, the separate Kids Pool is full of action.
