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.

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.
