CURRENT SAILING CONDITIONS:
Parts of central and northern Europe are currently experiencing hot and exceptionally dry weather conditions. Forecasts suggest little change through August in this weather pattern. As a consequence, the water levels in sections of the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers and their tributaries are low and are impacting navigation of all river vessels. Therefore, it is possible that unavoidable impacts to the safe navigation of vessels on the rivers will continue, and may require Scenic to modify ship deployments, to enact ship swaps or to amend or cancel itineraries on short notice.
Scenic will contact as a priority all guests and their travel agents if their river cruise is impacted.
