A-Rosa River Cruises has revealed the latest details of a new spa on board the most recent addition to the fleet, A-Rosa Sena.

A-Rosa Sena will use an E-Motion concept to allow it to operate on battery power when approaching a port, making it an eco-friendly mode of travel.

The ship, launching in May 2022, will include a wellness area with a gym featuring “a range of facilities many guests might not expect to find on a river cruise vessel”.

The Spa-Rosa will be home to a jacuzzi, a sauna, heated benches and an ice grotto with an ice fountain. There will also be two treatment rooms for beauty treatments and massages.

A total of six yoga mats, eight premium fitness machines (including rowing, cycling and running machines) and strength machines will be included in the gym, which is larger than those on existing A-Rosa ships.

Refreshments between training sessions will also be provided. Guests will also have use of a relaxation room with loungers, a sofa, armchairs and a fireplace.

A-Rosa River Cruises UK & Ireland managing director Lucia Rowe said: “The Spa-Rosa on A-Rosa Sena is going to be a unique oasis of wellbeing and calm and a great place to visit after a day exploring or for a bit of ‘you’ time.

“We pride ourselves in having a dedicated, professional spa on every ship, and this will be our biggest and most impressive yet with some incredible features.

“Self care and relaxation are more important than ever in today’s world and this ship offers the chance to combine a holiday and wellbeing in one.”

A-Rosa Sena will start sailing on the Rhine on 21 May 2022, with a seven-night cruise from Cologne visiting Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Antwerp.
