A-ROSA Rheinkreuzfahrt in Detail
Ship Description
Whether it's me-time with a view or relaxed hours in good company, aboard the A-ROSA SENA, your own rhythm dictates the pace. Quiet or social? Active or relaxed? Here, you can have both, and in a particularly stylish way.
At 135 meters in length, 17.7 meters in width, and with space for up to 280 guests, the A-ROSA SENA is among the largest and most modern ships in the fleet.
Modern design, thoughtful spatial 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 just the right moment.
Technically too, the A-ROSA SENA leads the way: 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.

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 picks up again: In the elegant Panorama Lounge with a bar and dance floor, or in the stylish "UP & DOWN BAR" on the sun deck, the evening can be beautifully concluded with a glass of wine or a creative cocktail, accompanied by the light play of the passing river.
