A-ROSA River Cruises is a German operator that offers cruises on the Danube and on the Rhône and Saône in Southern France.

The line's four luxury vessels on the Danube entered service between 2002 and 2004; each has 100 outside cabins with a maximum capacity of 242 passengers. Itineraries run 5, 6, 8, or 17 days, and some have special themes such as wellness or golf. A-ROSA also offers Advent and New Year's cruises on the Danube.

Ships on the Rhône and Saône are slightly smaller, with 86 outside cabins. Itineraries range from 6 to 8 days, and some cruises have gourmet or golf themes.

New for 2009: The A-Rosa Aqua enters service in August with 5-to 8-day roundtrip Rhine cruises from Cologne. (Some cruises head upstream toward Basel; other sailings go downstream to Amsterdam.)
