• ARosa Mia cruises on Danube river. The vessel is in the same class with the A-Rosa cruise ships Bella, Donna and Riva. Each of these ships is equipped each with two MTU / Maybach marine diesel engines (model "16V 2000 M60") with total power output 1600 kW / 2170 HP. The ship's electrical system consists of three MAN diesel generators (model D2842 , output 380 kW each) and 1 emergency diesel generator (Deutz, power 37 kW). The ship's propulsion ("Schottel") includes 2 twin propellers (type "STP 550") and one Schottel Pump Jet (azimuth bow thruster, model "SPJ 57"). The wheelhouse/bridge and awnings can be lowered when passing under low bridges.
• Because of size restrictions concerning the Main-Danube Canal (max vessel width is 11, 4 m), Arosa Mia was delivered not via the traditional route “North Sea-Baltic Canal-Wadden Sea-Rhine”, but via the Black Sea. The river ship was loaded on pontoons and towed to Constanta, Romania. In August 2014, A-Rosa Mia hit a bridge while she was passing through Jochenstein Locks along the Danube (Passau district, Germany). Her wheelhouse was sheared off and Mia became inoperable. The 192 passengers onboard were required to disembark and some were transported to Passau, while others were transferred to A-Rosa Bella. The boat resumed sailings on August 25 after dock repairs in Linz, Austria.
• The Mia ship offers complimentary bicycles on land tours and excursions in each of the visited ports.
• A-Rosa Mia was launched in 2003 on April 17. Due to its width of 14,4 m, the ship was not delivered via the usual route (North Sea-Baltic Canal-Wadden Sea-Rhine river). Because of the Main-Danube Canal's width restriction of 11, 4 m, the ship was loaded and transported on pontoons (towed via Black Sea) to Danube Delta (Constanta, Romania). Then the riverboat was unloaded and moved under her own power to Oltenita, Romania. The boat's transfer took a total of 22 days.
