The company was created to serve the German cruise market alongside the [AIDA Cruises](/source/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](/source/A'Rosa_Blu)'' was the sole ocean-going cruise ship in the fleet, accompanied by ''[A'Rosa Bella](/source/A'Rosa_Bella)'' and ''[A'Rosa Donna](/source/A'Rosa_Donna)'', two newly built river cruise ships. In 2003, P&O Princess merged with Carnival Corporation to form [Carnival Corporation & plc](/source/Carnival_Corporation_%26_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](/source/Danube), [Main](/source/Main_(river)), [Mosel](/source/Moselle_(river)), [Rhine](/source/Rhine), [Rhône](/source/Rh%C3%B4ne) and [Saône](/source/Sa%C3%B4ne) rivers. ==A-Rosa Cruises Fleet== ===Current fleet=== {{update section|date=December 2024}} {| class="wikitable" !
