A-Rosa Cruises is a cruise line based in Rostock, Germany, which operates river cruises in Germany.[1]
History
[edit ]A-Rosa was established in 2001 as A'Rosa, as a subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises. The company was created to serve the German cruise market, alongside the AIDA Cruises fleet, which had been acquired by P&O in 1999. A'Rosa was modeled loosely on the AIDA concept and began life with three ships. A'Rosa Blu , was the sole cruise ship of the fleet, accompanied by A'Rosa Bella and A'Rosa Donna , two newly built river cruise ships. In 2003, P&O Princess merged with Carnival Corporation to form Carnival Corporation & plc. The A'Rosa brand was sold soon after the merger and was purchased by a private company which owned A-ROSA Flussschiff. The company continues to operate river cruises on the Danube, Main, Mosel, Rhine, Rhône and Saône rivers.
