You have been on a river cruise in Europe this season? Please take a few minutes and write a review. Especially if you used the River Cruise Info App this is a great way to say "Thanks" for all the information you got for free. :)

Due to thunderstorms and heavy rain we are facing a short term high water situation in Southern Germany along the Danube river. We are facing a few deviations tomorrow, as a few ships won't make it from Passau to Regensburg. The situation is developing, I will keep you informed.

According to a post on cruise critic board there are also high water issues on the Seine, affecting cruises downstream of Paris.

Check the river levels yourself here: River levels

Or download the river cruise app for iOS and android via the sidebar.

Update 2016-06-02: A BBC report about the flooding: Europe flooding: Five dead as waters rise in Germany and France. Though the levels are quite high, they are dropping at Passau at the moment.
