Low Water Levels Force Itinerary Changes for European River Cruises

Historic heat waves in Europe have caused water levels on the Rhine and Danube rivers to drop, leading to operational challenges for several river cruise lines. Avalon Waterways reported that the Avalon Impression is unable to navigate past Koblenz, resulting in some cancellations and altered port schedules. Other lines, including AmaWaterways and Viking, are also implementing adjustments such as motor coach transfers and hotel stays to manage the disruptions. Passengers are advised to stay in contact with their cruise lines regarding potential changes to their upcoming voyages. How much of a disruption would a change in your river cruise itinerary be to your vacation plans?
