River Cruises in Crisis Across Europe, Guest Bares All on FlowRider, Another Cruise Line Boots Ducks

Today's cruise news: Europe's rivers are in crisis as historic drought and extreme heat push the Rhine and Danube to record lows, forcing lines like Viking, Uniworld, and Avalon to warn of itinerary changes, ship swaps, and cancellations. A guest on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas took a hard wipeout on the FlowRider surf simulator and lost his swim trunks in front of a crowd, escaping with only bruises and a good story. And Marella Cruises has asked guests to leave rubber ducks and hidden toys at home over safety, waste, and environmental concerns, joining Disney and Royal Caribbean while Carnival still embraces the trend.
