PREMIUM - Wellness Cruise on the Rhine (SENA)

Join us on a short trip to the Netherlands aboard our flagship, the E-MOTION SHIP A-ROSA SENA. Treat yourself to a break from the daily hustle and bustle and enjoy a relaxing vacation—the perfect opportunity for both shopping and relaxation. You’re sure to find the ideal Christmas gift along the way. AJfter visiting Nijmegen, one of the oldest cities in the country, recharge your batteries at our SPA-ROSA, featuring a sauna, hot tub, massages, and a modern fitness center. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet buffet and round off the day with a drink at the bar.

All cruises are international, meaning that all materials—such as the menu, public announcements, etc.—are in English. Similarly, excursions are available with English-speaking guides, and the onboard staff speak English (and usually German as well).

Coglone—there are many sights to see, and they are all overshadowed by the cathedral, which, at 144.5 meters long and 157.38 meters high, is the third-largest church building in the world. The view of Cologne is definitely worth the effort of climbing the 533 steps of the church tower. St. Martin’s Basilica is another fantastic sight. In front of it, the colorful houses of Cologne’s fish market seem to glow. Thanks to its location away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, you can enjoy the atmosphere of the old town here.

 

Nijmegen – A shopping trip to Nijmegen is a great idea! The city offers a wonderful mix of historic landmarks and modern shops, making it the ideal destination for a relaxing day by the river. Stroll through the charming streets of the old town, framed by centuries-old architecture, and discover unique boutiques, local designers, and cozy cafés along the way. Whether you’re looking for festive decorations, special gifts, or just want to browse, you’ll fall in love with the relaxed atmosphere and Dutch style that make shopping in Nijmegen such a special experience.

 

SPA-ROSA - Experience beautifying and rejuvenating treatments with facials, as well as the soothing warmth of the sauna or steam room, allowing you to benefit from greater vitality and radiance. When selecting products, we have deliberately chosen Thalgo for you. This brand is characterized by exceptional results, innovation, high skin tolerance, and a commitment to its employees and the environment. Your SPA-ROSA feels a responsibility to provide you with the greatest possible regenerative effect during your cruise.

Itinerary

Day	Place	Arrival	Departure
1	Cologne	-	18:00
		Welcome to Cologne! The typical friendliness that you find at every turn makes visitors feel at home right away. It’s not unusual to quickly get chatting to strangers and even go for a couple of glasses of Kölsch with them. The main landmark – Cologne Cathedral – watches over the whole city. It is the third-tallest church building in the world, at 157.38 metres. It might be a bit of a trek up to the top of the tower, but it’s worth it. You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the city and the Rhine spread out before you. 
2	Nijmegen	07:00	-
		Did you know that Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands? You only need to cross the Waalburg arch bridge into the centre to understand why the 160,000 inhabitants are so proud of their city: the Waalkade wharf and the silhouette of the city-centre buildings combine to form a truly impressive sight. In this Hanseatic city, tradition and modernity go hand in hand.
