Micro-Cruising and A-ROSA are Cruising Together

It is with great pleasure that Micro-Cruising can confirm its latest sales partnership with A-ROSA River Cruises represented by Inspired Luxury in the Australian market. A-ROSA was founded in 2000 in Germany and operates twelve river vessels throughout Europe. Currently, three of those vessels are marketed by through Inspired Luxury.

Distinguishing itself from the competition as a truly all-inclusive product, A-ROSA continues to inspire their guests a true “escape from the ordinary”. The Managing Director of Micro-Cruising, Nicola Caygill, said “We are excited that we can offer a high-end European River experience whether it is the Rhône & Saône, the Danube or the Rhine we have our agents covered”

Eliminating long lines to embark and disembark, the staff know your name by the second day. Cruises include Complimentary transfers, free wifi and a sparkling wine welcome. Guests cabin provides soft drinks and bottled water, flat screen TV, complimentary use of robes and slippers while sailing & plenty of storage. Dinning Courses are paired with a wonderful selection of 3 to 4 different wines to bring out the best in each.

One of the greatest (and simplest) pleasures whilst travelling in Europe is to experience the towns and countryside from the seat of a bicycle. A-ROSA takes great pride in providing an industry-leading biking program to facilitate that dream. Each ship is equipped with a fleet of high quality touring bikes for your riding pleasure...and there's no charge.
