==History==
A-Rosa was established in 2001 as ''A'Rosa'', a subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises. The company was created to serve the German cruise market alongside the AIDA Cruises fleet, which P&O had acquired in 1999. A'Rosa was loosely modelled on the AIDA concept and initially operated three ships.
''A'Rosa Blu'' was the sole ocean-going cruise ship in the fleet, accompanied by ''A'Rosa Bella'' and ''A'Rosa Donna'', two newly built river cruise ships.
In 2003, P&O Princess merged with Carnival Corporation to form Carnival Corporation & plc. The A'Rosa brand was sold shortly after the merger and was acquired by a private company that owned ''A-ROSA Flussschiff''. The company continues to operate river cruises on the Danube, Main, Mosel, Rhine, Rhône and Saône rivers.
