Travel Update: Danube and Rhine River Water Levels
Last updated: July 22, 2026
The nature of rivers is to ebb and flow. At this time, portions of the Danube and Rhine Rivers are experiencing lower than average water levels, and as a result, some Avalon Waterways itineraries have been impacted, including select cruise cancellations.
Due to low waters, we are cancelling the following upcoming departures of the “Danube Dreams":
- WBD/WBDE 0722, 0723, 0727
We are personally contacting all affected guests and their travel advisors to review their options, and we will continue to provide advance communication, should more cruise cancellations be warranted, as conditions evolve.
Avalon has a long history of making every effort to keep cruise itineraries intact. When Mother Nature makes other plans, we work closely with our guests to present alternate experiences and opportunities, so they can determine how they'd like to navigate their next steps and journey.
Guests with questions about an upcoming cruise are welcome to contact their travel advisor or call us directly at 1300.230.234. Again, we will be reaching out directly to impacted guests.
