You see, they are extremely low by now and they will even fall.

If water level is too low for sailing the passengers will we transported by bus to the ports of call and you will sleep in hotels.

It happened to us a few years ago on the RHINE. It was a Viking river cruise, and Viking did their best to make a go of it, and put us up in 5 star hotels wherever they could. But it still was more of a bus tour than a river cruise.
The Rhine is well known for low levels and the cruise company will not let you know in advance what they are planning, so do as traveller1959 suggests, which is to do your own research and demand answers from the cruise company.
