The company Seetours, jointly run by the Deutsche Seereederei (DSR) and the British shipping company P&O as a joint venture , decided in 2001 to offer river cruises on the Danube under the brand name A'Rosa in addition to ocean cruises with the shipping company's own ship A'Rosa Blu . After the first two ships built for this purpose, A'Rosa Bella and A'Rosa Donna , were handed over by the shipyard on schedule in March 2002 , Seetours ordered two more structurally identical ships, which were to be delivered in 2003 and 2004. The ship, built under construction number 503, was handed over to the shipping company on February 27, 2003. With a dock ship it was then transferred by sea to the Danube mouth after Constanta transported. There it was unloaded and drove under its own power over the Danube-Black Sea Canal and the Danube to Passau , where it was baptized on April 16. A day later the ship went on its maiden voyage . The joint venture with P&O was dissolved in the same year. The river cruise brand A-Rosa was incorporated into the DSR subsidiary Arkona with all ships. After a management buy-out in 2009, ownership of the entire fleet was transferred to the newly founded independent A-Rosa Flussschiff GmbH.
