Important Update on Danube River Cruises – Low Water Levels

20 May 2025

Europe is currently experiencing one of its driest springs in recent years, resulting in lower than usual water levels - particularly on the upper Danube River near Passau, which has begun to impact river navigation.

Our local operations team is actively adjusting cruising schedules to ensure our river cruises can continue where possible with minimal disruption. In some cases, this may include moving guests to sister Scenic Space-Ships and changes to embark or debark locations to allow for the continuation of the cruise.

We are closely monitoring the evolving conditions and will keep guests informed as a priority should any changes affect their upcoming journey.

Please know that we remain fully committed to delivering the best possible itinerary under these circumstances and will continue working diligently to support our guests in making alternative arrangements where required while navigating these challenges beyond our control.

If you have questions regarding potential impacts on your upcoming departure, please contact your Travel Advisor, or our reservations team on +44 161 236 2537.

The Scenic Group management team are committed to doing everything we can and will provide further updates on this page as the situation progresses.
