Fancy gliding down the Ijsselmeer Lake on a stand-up paddle board? Or exploring Vienna a little differently by electric classic car? Or how about taking the kids on a trip to chocolate haven with a visit to the chocolate museum in Antwerp?
All this and more is now possible while enjoying an A-ROSA river cruise, with the expansion of their shore excursion programme for 2020 to include 48 new options.
In total, a choice of more than 250 excursions are now available, broken down into five categories: discovery; adventure; family; bicycle and gourmet.
