Creator's Key Takeaways

The rest of the Danube is looking great with that pinch point that we watch around Passau actually looking quite good right now.

The Main, the Moselle, and the Rhine are all green and good for sailing as well as the Rhone and the Saône.

There continues to be some high water levels around Paris that may restrict some cruise ships from sailing right into the city center because of the low bridges in that area.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay special attention to your embarkation and disembarkation ports as there may be some last-minute changes.
Monitor water levels for upcoming sailings on the Danube and Seine.
