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.

Paris Train Station:

On the day of arrival, Thalys guests will be transferred from the station to the ship at 12.30 h. For TGV guests, the transfers from the station to the ship take place at 13.30 or 15.30 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, transfers for Thalys and TGV passengers from the ship to the station will take place at 9.00 h. You will receive further information on the transfer from the ship to the station directly on board.

Paris Airport:

On the day of embarkation, group transfers are organized at two fixed times:

13:00 o'clock / 15:00 o'clock / optional additional transfer for later arrivals

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 you.

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?

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.
