The A-ROSA VIVA is a brilliantly designed ship, with many facilities available to enjoy. The dining room is spread over two area so it is easy to find a quiet corner or be more sociable if you prefer. There is also a private room where 2 nights a week you can enjoy served dining with a selected menu. The lounge and bar is the hub of the ship and a very hospitable, with nightly entertainment on offer. The Spa and jacuzzi are situated at the rear of the ship offering wonderful views of the Seine.
In another break from most riverboats, the ship has a proper spa area (as opposed to a token massage bed in a cabin), which has its own reception area, two treatment rooms, gym, sauna, whirlpool and relaxation area.
Other onboard facilities include a main lounge and bar, with a small stage and dance floor, and a horseshoe-shaped second bar in the smaller dining area, which extends into an outside seating area. The sun deck includes a large outdoor chess set, shuffleboard and small putting green. The ship does not have a lift.
Unusual for a river vessel, almost all meals are buffet-style and passengers can eat what they want, and when they want during the generous dining times, which gives the restaurant a relaxed vibe. The buffet area is separate to the main dining room, and wine and drinks are served at the tables. One à la carte dinner with waiter service is included in the fare, which is given in a smaller, intimate dining area. Passengers who want a more formal dining experience for the rest of their cruise can opt to pay for other waiter-served meals available on selected nights. The menu features hearty German fare and regional specialities, with lighter and vegetarian options always available.
The 99 cabins, located on three passenger decks, also feature A-Rosa's signature red colour, which is used in bathroom tiles, furnishings and the overhead bed canopy. To complete the theme, all passengers receive a red rose on arrival. All cabins measure 156 square feet and there are no suites. The only difference is that cabins on the lower deck have porthole windows and the remainder have French balconies with floor-to-ceiling windows. There are four twin-bedded cabins, with two single beds and a third pull-down bed fixed to the wall, which are suitable for families or groups of friends. All remaining cabins have beds that cannot be separated from a double bed configuration, although there are individual duvets for both sides.
