Creator's Key Takeaways
We're still experiencing some low water in Budapest. and in that stretch of river between Bratislava and Budapest.
Most other river cruise ships are sailing fine through this area.
The rest of the upper Danube is looking great right now with that area near Passau that we pay special attention to looking great in terms of water levels.
Overall, the spring forecast so far is looking really good and I'm hopeful that all of you are going to have amazing river cruises this spring.
