High Water Affecting Regions along Upper Danube River
Higher than average water conditions are impacting access to certain docking locations along the upper Danube River (between Budapest, Hungary and Vilshofen, Germany); however, our experienced operations team has been adjusting itineraries, using alternative docking facilities and arranging convenient ships swaps to ensure guests are still able to enjoy the excursions planned.
High water conditions tend to arrive and disappear very quickly therefore it is essential that guests (or their travel advisors) ensure contact information (email) is within the online “Cruise Check-In” as well as having "push notifications" activated within the AmaWaterways "myAmaCruise" app should we need to advise of any last-minute changes to docking locations. In any event, a representative of AmaWaterways will be at the original docking location to provide assistance if needed.
With our large fleet of company-owned river cruise ships strategically positioned to facilitate convenient ship swaps if required, plus 22 years of operating experience on the rivers of Europe, AmaWaterways is well equipped to adapt and minimize any impact from these unforeseen events and ensure a safe and enjoyable river cruise vacation for our guests.
