Your holiday is our top priority! That's why our A-ROSA Care Team always keeps an eye on current developments that could influence our cruises. Since events often occur spontaneously – and can also change or settle at short notice – we always inform you as soon as possible about relevant topics on this page.
Fuel Surcharge
The ongoing global conflicts have led to above-average transportation costs. This is why based on our General Terms and Conditions (§5), we are unfortunately forced to transfer part of the increased fuel prices to the guests on all cruises until 31 October 2024. The surcharge is calculated monthly based on the current diesel purchase price. Up to the calculated amount of the brochure price, A-ROSA covers the additional costs by itself. The fuel surcharge will only be added once this amount has been exceeded. If the energy market stabilises and diesel prices drop as a result, no fuel surcharge would be added.
Strikes
Strikes in the public sector or long-distance traffic can have an impact on our journeys. Currently, there are no restrictions due to strikes that we are aware of.
Water levels
Since water levels vary at very short notice, it may be necessary to adjust the itineraries and if required the ports of embarkation and disembarkation. We are in constant dialogue with the port authorities and respective water management offices along the itineraries. We review the respective conditions for each river stretch between individual ports daily and ensure the safe realization of our cruises. In principle, a cruise is still feasible even if the water level is low. Only beyond a certain point can the course of a sailing not be carried out as planned.
Ukraine
At A-ROSA, the safety and wellbeing of all guests and crewmembers is always our highest priority. We are following the developments in Ukraine very closely and are in constant contact with the foreign port authorities.
Danube: Our Danube cruises start and end in Austria resp. Germany. On the 18-night cruise “Danube Intensive” short passages on the way to the Danube estuary lead along the Romanian-Ukrainian border. We have therefore decided to slightly adjust this itinerary. The A-ROSA ships will no longer call at Tulcea, but instead at the Romanian city of Constanţa, which is located at the south-western Black Sea coast. Thus, we will bypass the Romanian-Ukrainian border zone and sail exclusively in the Romanian part of the Danube Delta, which is not affected by the current situation in Ukraine. All other Danube cruises will be operated as scheduled.
Corona-Virus
At A-ROSA, the safety and wellbeing of all guests and crewmembers is always our highest priority. We continue to closely monitor current developments as well as official government regulations regarding the corona virus COVID-19.
There are currently no restrictions due to COVID-19 on our waterways.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!
At A-ROSA, the health, safety and well-being of all guests and crew members is always our top priority. For this reason, our A-ROSA Care Team has developed a comprehensive health and hygiene concept, which meets national and international health standards. This concept is continuously adapted to current conditions and regulations. Decisions are always made based on these developments, the official directives of authorities as well as the travel advice of the German Foreign Office according to the motto ‘Safety First’.
Of course, it is possible to sail safely and also have a great time whilst on holiday. You can enjoy our usual friendly service, plenty of relaxation and a great atmosphere on board. Our crew is passionate about creating a wonderful, carefree holiday for you on board.
Vaccination and recovery status
There no longer is any obligation to provide a general proof of vaccination or recovery or a certified negative test result.
