About A-ROSA Silva
A-ROSA Silva is an A-ROSA River Cruises cruise ship, in service since 2012. She carries 186 guests with a crew of 50. She sails Rhine itineraries. We rate her 3.5 out of 5.
A-ROSA Silva is a 135-meter river cruise ship for up to 186 guests, and the first A-ROSA ship with suites: besides standard outside cabins she has four junior suites and two balcony suites. Neptun Werft in Warnemünde built her and her sister A-ROSA Flora to fit the low bridges and narrow locks of the Main-Danube Canal, with a wheelhouse that can be lowered and railings and awnings that fold down. She was christened in Amsterdam and entered service in July 2012. Onboard are two restaurants, a panorama lounge, a café bar, a Finnish sauna and steam sauna and a heated pool with a counter-current system. An international ship with English and German aboard, she sails from Cologne on the Rhine and up the Moselle to Cochem, Bernkastel-Kues and Trier.
