Rhine River VIPs
Sometimes children can feel like an afterthought on a river cruise, but not on new ship A-Rosa Sena. From the onboard Treasure Island playroom and complimentary kids’ club activities during school holidays to the separate children’s pool on the sun deck and a kids’ section in the buffet, facilities tailor-made for young guests abound. Family cabins (right) sleep up to five with bunk beds and a toybox, and up to three children under 16 can sail for free with two full-paying adults. Special family excursions showcase suitable Rhine highlights, including Amsterdam Zoo and a chocolate tour of Antwerp. The seven-night Rhine Discovery Amsterdam and Rotterdam departing August 20 on A-Rosa Sena costs from £3,899 for a family of four, including flights from Heathrow and transfers (flexidirectholidays.com).
