Rhine & Moselle - High water levels?
The water levels on the Danube and parts of the Rhine are currently at high levels. I understand Avalon has just cancelled some of their river trips. We're booked on the June 6th Rhine & Moselle from Basel and this has me somewhat concerned. Has anyone heard anything further on this?

Here is a link to the problem. Sorry it is in German.

Reuters is reporting that the area has gotten two months worth of rain in just a few days. The ground is saturated and cannot take any more.
Good luck to you and safe travels.
We leave on July 6 and embark on the MS Treasures in Budapest on July 14. Sure hope the situation improves by that time.

The draft on most of the Tauck boats is 4 about feet deep, so if the current levels are under 4 feet, we've got a problem. (At the moment of writing this post, the lowest part of the river was 6 feet deep and the deepest was about 17 feet.
