I posted this query on the cruise forum and a nice person suggested I post my query on this forum as well. We are scheduled to begin a Danube River Cruise on 10/18/18 in Budapest and end in Passau 8 days later. I am having a heck of a time figuring out whether the water levels will permit us to remain on the ship (and spotty help from travel agent). Can anyone provide first hand reports? I purchased cancel for any reason insurance bc an expensive bus tour is not what I want. Thanks to anyone who can provide intel.

Not much help, I know, but have you contacted the cruise line directly to ask if the water is sufficient today? Are they bussing passengers currently. With just a few days to go I should think they might give you a clue, maybe even what they predict for yours.

At the beginning of September levels were still extremely low. The above sites seem to be up to date.
