European river cruises have been disrupted due to record-low water levels on the Danube and Rhine rivers. The drought has caused vessels to become stranded, and itineraries have been altered. Passengers have been bussed to other ships or had their excursions cancelled.
Impact on Travelers
Travelers have expressed concern and disappointment about the disruptions. One Reddit user wrote about their family members’ trip, saying they fear they will be bussed multiple times due to the low water levels. Another user described having to switch ships after low water levels made parts of the Rhine impassable, resulting in missed excursions and hours-long bus transfers.
The Danube and Rhine rivers are popular cruise routes, and the drought has disrupted travel for many passengers. River cruise operators, such as Avalon Waterways and AmaWaterways, have warned that low water levels may alter itineraries.
