Special and Event Cruises 2024

Anyone travelling with A-ROSA is sure to have a great time full of new experiences and delicious cuisine. However, the off-season has just gotten more exciting. Guests joining us before and after peak season will be able to enjoy thrills, surprises, and adventure because A-ROSA ships on the Rhine, Rhône and Danube will now be hosting special events on fascinating topics. This will give our guests the opportunity to dive into interesting topics. And who knows, maybe you’ll even connect with new like-minded people.

We have invited a number of experts to give exciting talks, workshops and personal one-on-one coaching. Are you interested in the royals & society? Have you always wanted to learn how to take the perfect holiday snapshot? Or have you been considering joining a mediation or yoga class? Whatever tickles your fancy – we will have something special to offer you.

JAZZ & SWING

WITH THE MOOD MESSENGERS

Their performances will let your heart beat faster and set your feet tapping. The international ensemble of professional jazz musicians will captivate you with their repertoire of soulful jazz ballads, sensual bossa nova, infectious swing, and surprising jazz interpretations of legendary pop classics. These talented musicians will welcome you with a short performance on your first day, and then entertain you with unforgettable concerts on two more nights.

ROYAL GLAMOUR

WITH MICHAEL BEGASSE

Get the royal treatment on board! High society expert Michael Begasse will share the latest stories about Europe’s royal families. He will take you on a journey rife with scandal, drama and emotion - and, of course, a hint of gossip. Be it weddings and coronations or births and farewells, there's no royal affair that eludes his keen eye. So let yourself be taken into the world of the most popular royals - by an insider who is always close to the action.

MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS

WITH FABIENNE BILL

Take a deep breath and attune to your inner self. Let Fabienne be your guide to mastering this art. Our mental health and mindfulness coach will guide you through daily mediation sessions in the morning and show you how to breathe consciously. For your excursions, Fabienne will suggest ideas to reflect upon. Her workshops will focus on resilience, emotions, mindfulness and food. Finally, join her for an evening of introspection and leave with a sense of inner peace.

YOGA & NUTRITION

WITH ULRIKE HOMUTH

Our expert Health & Lifestyle Coach will roll out the yoga mat for you. Every day, she will show you how to set the course for relaxation for your body and mind. In addition, Ulrike Homuth will give three lectures to whet your appetite for a balanced diet, the right fitness and better health.

CREATE & ILLUSTRATE

WITH TANJA MEYER

Having studied Communication Design, our illustrator has worked with numerous magazines, publishers and agencies – and now she will be working with you. In two different workshops, you can create holiday memories to give away to loved ones or to keep for yourself. After all, let’s face it, do you really want to give up your self-drawn watercolour postcard of cities and river landscapes, or your hand-painted bag? The ultimate highlight of your trip: being hand-drawn by Tanja in the lounge.

PHOTOGRAPHY

WITH LISA STELZEL

No more blurred photos or unflattering selfies! Photographer Lisa Stelzel will share her professional tips on how take the perfect holiday snapshot. Both on board and on day trips, you will work together to find the best light, angles and camera settings for your favourite subjects. Turn your camera or smartphone into a tool that lets you take gorgeous snapshots to remember your holiday by forever.

MUSIC

WITH VAN DEYK AND THE KINGTWIINS

We’re inviting exceptional artists aboard A-ROSA. Over the course of two evenings, you will be able to experience authentic and handmade music in a relaxed setting. In this laid-back atmosphere, you’ll have the chance to talk to the musicians and ask any questions you may have. You can look forward to spine-tingling voices, emotional stories, music that makes you dream, but also songs to dance to. You might just find yourself humming these new catchy tunes on your next shore excursion.

DANCE

WITH MICHAEL THEISSEN

Our skilled dance instructor really knows his way around the dance floor. After all, he has his very own dance school, runs a venue and even judges dance competitions. On board, he will get you dancing step by step - with a disco fox lesson for couples and two line dance lessons open to everyone. Plus, he’ll whisk you away on a journey through the history of dance in the multimedia talk 'Dance Around The World'.

FUN & SKETCH

WITH HARRY, THE CARTOONIST

Picture the fun times ahead. Harry, the cartoonist, will guide you through two incredible drawing sessions to bring out your inner artist. On the road, he will conjure up picturesque memories of every destination. And 'Make a wish - the world's fastest drawing show' will leave you breathless with its speed and wit.

BEAUTY & SPA

WITH INGRID BREYER

If you’re after that radiant beauty, then you need to be on board A-ROSA. With nearly five decades of experience under her belt, the beautician and alternative practitioner is a sought-after beauty expert. She is a co-founder of the German Thalasso Association, a trained specialist in traditional Chinese medicine - and an excellent speaker. In her insightful talks, you will learn about holistic approaches that have a positive influence on graceful ageing. Plus, you'll uncover the secrets of inner and outer beauty through mindfulness.
