Danube River Drought Disrupts River Cruise Operations Across Europe
A prolonged drought has set record low water levels on the Danube River, disrupting river cruise operations across Central Europe. Riviera Travel and Avalon Waterways have implemented route changes and cancellations, while Phoenix Reisen offers free rebooking for departures up to August 12, 2026. In late July, the Viking Ullur was evacuated near Vidin, Bulgaria, with over 185 passengers and 50 crew members aboard.
