A-ROSA River Cruises boosts programme with over 50 new excursions

From new city sightseeing tours and visits to places of interest, to more unique experiences such as personally prepared lunch by a countess on the Douro, there is more choice than ever before. In addition, a new discount of up to 15% off the excursion price has been introduced when three or more are pre-booked in advance.   

On the Douro, five new excursions are now available, including two new small group options. There is the chance to a visit to Quinta da Pacheca near Regua, one of the most renowned wineries in the region, dating back to the 16th century. The Quinta specialises in both wine and port wine and guests can experience some of these during a special picnic with incredible views.  For those who want something extra special, Her Grace, Countess Maria Manuel Cyrne will welcome small groups to her estate in the Douro Valley and after a tour, the countess will personally prepare a special Portuguese lunch for guests to enjoy.

For the ultimate treat, in the new port of Vlissingen, a once-in-a-lifetime flight experience for two is now available. This trip offers the chance to get a bird’s eye view of the regions rolling hills, windmills, farmland and more.

One of the new options on the Danube is a trip to Gödöllö Castle near Budapest, where guests can explore the former summer residence of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her husband King Franz Joseph I.

For those sailing on the Rhône, a new exclusive tour for up to just six people will explore the Ardeche region and visit a Château to meet wine growers and enjoy at tasting.

Lucia Rowe, managing director at A-ROSA River Cruises UK & Ireland comments: “ There really is something for everyone and we have also introduced an additional saving of up to 15% off the excursion price if three or more are pre-booked. As always, flexibility is at the heart of everything we do so guests can choose to join a group tour, opt for a more exclusive tour or choose an individual tour just for them. They can of course also step off the ship and explore independently should they wish.”
