Australia’s leading small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has announced that major European river cruise line, A-ROSA Cruises, has joined its growing stable of small ship cruise brands. The new partnering means Cruise Traveller now represents 56 boutique, luxury and expedition cruising operators around the world.

To mark the partnership, Cruise Traveller has released three double cruise combo packages to help Australians see more of Europe aboard A-ROSA’s premium river ships. The packages offer savings of more than $900 per couple.

The Managing Director of Cruise Traveller, Craig Bowen, welcomed German-based A-ROSA River Cruises to Cruise Traveller’s expanding portfolio of clients.

“Since 2003, we have grown rapidly to become Australia’s leading small ship cruise specialist, marketing and promoting our partners’ river, boutique and expedition cruise products to Australian travellers and travel agents,” Mr Bowen said. “We are trusted experts in this field, with more small ship operators and travel agents seeking our support and guidance and more consumers turning to us to arrange an exclusive dream adventure for them.

“We look forward to spreading the news in Australia about A-ROSA’s wonderful range of -contemporary European  river cruises that appeal to travellers who value choice, flexibility and a relaxed setting. .”

A-ROSA River Cruises currently operates 12 premium river ships on the Rhine, Main, Moselle, Danube, Seine, Rhone/Saone and Douro rivers across Europe. A-ROSA’s state-of-the-art 280-guest E-Motion ship is scheduled to join the fleet in early 2022. The new ship will offer guests balconies with seating for two in all 121 standard cabins and seven suites. The vessel’s family cabins will accommodate up to five guests and are a record breaking 28m² in size. Further innovative features are multiple indoor and outdoor restaurants including a steakhouse, several lounges and bars, two pools, jacuzzi, sun deck, gym and sauna.
