The worldwide energy crisis caused by the Ukraine war and the global economic situation have led to a significant increase in fuel prices. As a result, the A-ROSA Flussschiff GmbH will reassess for each month of departure, starting from 01.04.2023, whether these increased fuel prices will be partially passed on to the guests according to the line's General Terms and Conditions (§5) (Exception: Douro cruises). Whether a surcharge has to be added is determined about seven weeks before the first departure of each month in question. Calculations are based on the current purchasing price for diesel fuel. Up to the calculated cost of the brochure price A-ROSA will bear additional costs alone. The fuel surcharge will only be added if this figure has been exceeded. If the energy market stabilises and diesel fuel prices decrease, there will be no surcharge.
