Due to a low-pressure system that impacted eastern and central Europe last week, parts the upper Danube, specifically Budapest to Vienna, were impacted by localized flooding.
 
Whilst the Danube River in Budapest peaked on September 20th and water levels are now receding, some impacts remain on navigation of vessels in this region which is requiring modification of ship itineraries frequently and on short notice.  
 
Where possible we are rescheduling our fleet of Scenic Space-Ships and Emerald Cruises Star-Ships to allow us to operate alternative sailing itineraries. However, we are still restricted with the current water levels and lock closures in some locations. The Danube River in Budapest is forecast to drop below warning levels by September 26th.

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 1(844) 628-7602.

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