EUROPEAN river cruises are
being disrupted right at the end
of the 2015 season due to low
water levels in several rivers.
Passengers cruising on Uniworld
Boutique River Cruises’ SS Maria
Theresa have been told a 15 Nov
departure from Amsterdam has
been cancelled, because the ship
has stopped in Passau and can’t
continue north due to low levels
in the Danube.
Viking River Cruises is also
telling guests to check for itinerary
changes due to low levels on the
Elbe, Rhine and Danube Rivers
which have necessitated “ship
swaps” on several departures,
with excursions to be operated by
motorcoach from the vessels in
some cases.
Viking said having operated river
cruises since 1997, its nautical
staff have “extensive experience
in delivering contingency plans
that remain focused on exploring
the destinations you have
travelled to see”.
