Due to a low-pressure system called Storm Boris, parts of central and eastern Europe are currently experiencing very high winds and unusually heavy rains. Forecasts suggest these conditions will persist over the coming days. This has caused water levels in sections of the Danube River to be higher than normal, impacting navigation of all vessels in this region and this will require modification of ship itineraries and schedules frequently and on short notice.

Where possible we will reschedule our fleet of Emerald Cruises Star-Ships and Scenic Space-Ships to allow us to enact ship swaps. However, we are restricted with the current rising water levels, specifically around the upper Danube River areas of Vienna and Budapest.

We are working closely with our team on the ground in Europe and are contacting as a priority all guests and their travel advisors if their river cruise is impacted.

If you have questions regarding potential impacts on your upcoming departure, please contact your Travel Advisor, or our reservations team on 0161 516 8437.

The Scenic Group management team are committed to doing everything we can and will provide further updates on this page as the situation progresses.
