I d recently read a couple of comments here about low water levels and then viking just sent out an email about it.
Viking river cruise danube low water level.
We are doing nuremberg to budapest in a couple of weeks and trying to get some idea of what to expect.
Answer 1 of 272.
Last year the danube was particularly affected by low water levels causing many sailings to take detours or adjust the itinerary with more land based options from ships that remain docked in port.
The danube low river levels turned our cruise into a cruise bus trip.
July 30th romantic danube nuremberg to budapest aboard viking gullveig low water on the danube is preventing viking gullveig from reaching its regular embarkation port in nuremberg erlangen.
We recently returned from a viking romantic danube cruise.
Not only did we do a boat swap we never stopped at krems to makeup lost time traveling on the bus.
The area on the danube where the low waters have posed a problem is the 75 mile stretch between regensburg and passau in germany.
This means you can change your plans up to 24 hours prior to departure giving you peace of mind and the flexibility you need to make the best decision for you.
Therefore even missed the weltenbery abbey that viking highlights on their ads.
