Important Update on Danube River Cruises – Low Water Levels

June 18, 2025

Following an unusually dry spring, much of Europe - including the upper Danube River region near Passau - is experiencing warm temperatures and limited rainfall. As a result, water levels in some areas are currently lower than normal, which is beginning to impact river navigation.

Our local operations team is actively adjusting sailing schedules to ensure our guest’s cruise experience continues with minimal disruption. In some cases, this may involve transferring guests to a sister ship or adjusting embarkation or disembarkation points to maintain the integrity of our itinerary.

The situation is being closely monitored and we will keep guests, and their travel advisors, informed as a priority should any changes affect their upcoming cruise.

We remain fully committed to delivering the best possible experience under these circumstances and are working diligently to navigate these challenges with care and attention.
