About A-ROSA
A-ROSA is a premium European River Cruise company which offers a wide variety of river cruise destinations on the Danube, Rhine/Main/Moselle, Seine, Rhône/Saône and Douro. The company operates offices in Rostock, Chur (Switzerland) and Cardiff (Great Britain) and currently employs around 850 people from 25 different nations.
Established in 2000 as part of the Deutsche Seereederei GmbH, A-ROSA started cruising the Danube in 2002. Due to increasing demand, the company has continuously expanded its fleet.
In February 2018, A-ROSA was acquired by the British financial investor Duke Street. The company's management consists of Jörg Eichler, Chief Executive Officer, and Markus Zoepke, Chief Operating Officer, who also hold shares in the company.
The A-ROSA fleet currently numbers 15 premium ships, including the new innovative and hybrid-powered e-motion ship called A-ROSA SENA, which sets completely new standards at all levels thanks to state-of-the-art technologies.
The company is planning future investments in marketing, product innovation and sales, the construction of new ships and the development of a sustainable travel strategy.
