Flight to Lyon:

If the flight arrival or departure is not booked via A-ROSA, the transfer from the airport to the ship and/or back is not included. The airport transfer cannot be booked in advance as an individual service by individual guests. The rebooking of an A-ROSA airport transfer is possible on the spot on board and only in individual cases, depending on the availability of transfer places and against payment (A-ROSA airport transfer from € 27 p. p. /per route). Alternatively, we recommend an individual taxi transfer in Lyon. On the day of arrival, sufficient taxis are available at the airport. Taxis can be pre-ordered at the reception on board for individual transfers from the ship to the airport on the day of departure.

Lyon Railway:

The train station transfer cannot be booked in advance as an individual service by individual guests. Guests arriving and departing individually (not with the A-ROSA TGV-Arrangement) by train to Lyon, we recommend an individual taxi transfer from the train station to the ship or back. Depending on the volume of traffic, the journey takes 5 to 20 minutes each way. Taxis can be pre-ordered at the reception on board for individual transfers from the ship to the station on the day of departure. Alternatively, depending on the availability of transfer places and payment (A-ROSA train station transfer from € 22 p. P. /per route), it is also possible to rebook an A-ROSA train station transfer on board in individual cases.

The number of available airports is limited. A-ROSA books the flight depending on availability in appropriate booking classes. A direct flight cannot be guaranteed.

The RIT ticket booked with A-ROSA is not valid for Euronight (EN) trains and ÖBB Nightjets! Furthermore, RIT tickets are not recognised in special trains, Thalys, Eurostar, AVE trains and Talgo.

The possibility of a seat reservation will be checked on request. Fees may vary in amount. Except flights with Air France (no reservation for short- and medium-haul flights)

Seat reservations can be made through the DB Travel Center or on the website of the Deutsche Bahn. The costs are not included in the booked train ticket.

Railway services are confirmed immediately, flight and hotel are always available at A-ROSA as an enquiry and will be confirmed according to availability. In this case, waiting times may occasionally occur if, for example, waiting list seats have to be checked at the airline.

The transfer service will only be available on the day of arrival and departure. On the day of embarkation, the transfer takes place from 14:00 h until 15:30 h. Our staff will be waiting for you in the courtyard in front of the parmacie Breslauer Platz/McDonalds.

Lyon Train Station: On the day of arrival, TGV guests will be transferred from the station to the ship at 20.00 h. The transfer starts as soon as all guests arrive in a certain time window. In some cases, waiting times may occur. On the day of departure, the transfer for TGV guests from the ship to the station takes place at 8.00 h. You will receive further information on the transfer from the ship to the station directly on board.

Lyon Airport: On the day of embarkation, group transfers are organised at two fixed times: 15.00 h and 17.00 h. On the day of disembarkation, the transfers will take place at 6.00 h or 9.00 h to the airport. You will receive further information on the transfer from the ship to the airport directly on board.

On the day of disembarkation, the transfers will take place at 06:00 o'clock or 09:00 o'clock to the airport. You will receive further information on the transfer from the ship to the airport directly on board.

The transfer will only be available on the day of arrival and departure. On the day of embarkation the transfer is attuned for the train ICE 91 (arrival approx. 14:30 hrs) and departs at 15:00 hrs. If you have booked the “Premium all inclusive” rate, the transfer is offered free of charge for cruises in 2024.

The return transfer from the ship to the train station or airport is organized by the crew on board. Our guests will receive detailed information about the transfer times the day before departure. Normally, all organized transfers take place between 08:00 and 09:00 am.

Hotel:

The hotel facilities vary. Some offer three-bed rooms or family rooms with a connecting door, but in some cases it is only possible to add an extra bed/folding bed. Prices and availability on request.

Train:

Children up to 5 years of age travel free of charge within Germany, children aged 6 to 14 years of age travel in Germany and Austria free of charge only if accompanied by their parents/grandparents (with family child RIT ticket). Children up to 5 years of age travel free of charge on international transport to France (Lyon, Paris) without entitlement to their own seat, children from 6 to 14 years of age accompanied by their parents/grandparents pay half price (with entitlement to a seat). If a child up to the age of 5 requires their own seat, they must be booked at half the price of the adults, just like children aged 6 – 14 years.

Flight:

Babies ("infant" 0-1 years old) and children ("child" usually 2-11 years old) pay a reduced fare for many airlines, but never travel free of charge. Discounts vary between airlines and must therefore be requested from A-ROSA.

Transfer:

Long-distance bus operators recommend that babies/children up to 3 years of age travel only in mandatory seats/baby carriers (e. g. Maxi-Cosi). The parents bear the responsibility for safe transportation. The bus driver has the right to refuse to take you on the bus if there are valid safety concerns. The buses used by the transfer agency do not provide child seats/baby carriers, as different seats are required depending on the size.

A-ROSA can apply for free assistance/accompanying service at the airports for disabled or elderly people who feel insecure at the airport or on connecting flights. Should this occur in connection with the transport of a walker or wheelchair by the guest, it is absolutely necessary to register the device with the airline before departure. For this purpose, A-ROSA requires information on weight and dimensions (length x width x height).

Furthermore, we would ask you to inform us about the extent of the obstruction/insecurity: can stairs be managed independently or is help needed here? Can the route between the airport building and the transfer bus be managed independently or is help needed here as well?

a) Germany

Severely disabled persons can take an accompanying person (minimum age 6 years) with them free of charge if the note ‘The need for permanent accompaniment is proven’ and the ‘B’ mark are not deleted from the severely disabled person's pass. Free transport is provided in the class in which the severely disabled person is travelling.
In this case, you only need to book the train ticket for the severely disabled person with A-ROSA.

b) in HGV traffic (TGV) to Lyon and Paris

If you are in possession of a valid German disabled person's pass, the accompanying person can only travel free of charge on the TGV if the severely disabled person is blind or in a wheelchair. A rollator is an orthopaedic aid and does not count as a wheelchair.
The need for the blind person or wheelchair user to be accompanied at all times must also be noted on the severely disabled person's pass.

In the event of a change or cancellation of train tickets, please return the unused original ticket before departure. If you book your train journey/travel departure at the catalogue price, the rail fare can only be reimbursed in accordance with the A-ROSA travel conditions if you present your unused original ticket before the start of the journey. A refund of the tickets is not possible when booking a railroad inclusive offer.

The routes permitted for transport to the destination are shown on the ticket (e. g. certain border crossing points to be used). For this reason, the border crossing to be used must be indicated in international traffic when booking.

Special case TGV to/from Lyon and Paris: there is a train connection for the train indicated on the ticket!

When choosing a train connection, please allow sufficient time between the arrival of the train and the departure time of the ship to ensure a comfortably and stress-free beginning of your holiday.

The RIT tickets are valid for all DB stations with the exception of some stations from which non-Federal Railways (NE trains) run.
