A-ROSA Swim School Returns in 2027

A unique selling point for family bookings: on selected summer departures in 2027, A‑ROSA partners with FLIPPER Swim School to offer professional swimming lessons for children aged four and up.

Taking place aboard A‑ROSA SENA, the lessons combine learning with holiday fun in a safe and relaxed environment. Thanks to individual one-to-one lessons, certified swimming instructors can tailor each session to the child’s ability and learning progress.

The programme is suitable for beginners, children who already have some swimming experience, and those aiming to earn their first swimming badges.
