Creator's Key Takeaways

The Ama Magna is not able to make it into Budapest and is stopping in Slovakia to complete its itinerary there.

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 Saรดne.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pay special attention to your embarkation and disembarkation ports for last-minute changes due to low water levels.
โœ“Monitor water levels for the Seine and Paris due to high water potentially restricting access to the city center.
