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 completed 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 joint venture with P&O was terminated before the A-Rosa Riva was delivered. The river cruise brand A-Rosa was incorporated into the DSR subsidiary Arkona with all ships. The ship, built under construction number 504, was handed over to A-ROSA Flussschiff GmbH Rostock, a 100% subsidiary of Arkona AG, on February 26, 2004. 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 across the Danube-Black Sea Canal and the Danube to Passau , where it was baptized on April 9, 2004. From there, the ship went on a seven-day maiden voyage on April 9, 2004 . After a management buy-out in 2009, ownership of the entire fleet was transferred to the newly founded A-Rosa Flussschiff GmbH.
On July 24, 2017, around 1 p.m., a fire broke out on the Danube near Schönbühel-Aggsbach (Melk district).
