As the first of the line's two same-class vessels, A-Rosa Luna's sistership is A-Rosa Stella, which also operates in France. Each ship is powered by two MTU marine diesel engines (Maybach model "16V 2000 M60") with a combined output of 1600 kW / 2100 HP. The propulsion system features a Schottel "Z-drive" setup, which includes two rudder propellers (type "STP 500" twin propellers) and one Schottel Pump Jet azimuth thruster (model "SPJ 57"). The ship's wheelhouse (bridge) and top deck awnings can be lowered to safely pass under low bridges.

A-Rosa Luna provides complimentary bicycles for use during land tours and excursions at each visited port.

A-Rosa Luna and A-Rosa Stella were officially launched and christened on April 7, 2005, in Rostock, Germany, and commenced their maiden voyages on the Rhone River in France on May 7.

The name “Luna” is shared with other ships, including the cruise ships AIDAluna and Norwegian Luna, the ferry Luna Seaways, and the riverboat Emerald Luna.
