We got off Viking Einar today. The captain had to stop sailing to Basel & turn around. We disembarked in Breisach & they bussed us to Basel. Luckily it was the last night if our trip. Our Program Director got on the loud speaker to every room at 11pm last night to inform us of the change of plans because we needed to disembark an hour earlier than expected. All the new passengers were in the Hyperion Hotel waiting to get bussed to Breisach.

We don't leave until November 5th... hopefully things will be better by then!!! debbie

Notamermaid, you are a wealth of information. Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! Sincerely, debbie

Hello, I tried to search this thread but couldn't find what I was looking for. At what level (meters) is too low for a ship to sale through the Rhine? We are on Viking's Einar next month and I'm trying to monitor the water levels. At what point are water levels too low too sail? I have seen graphs, but honestly it doesn't mean anything to me if I don't know what "too low" levels are? Thanks for any help you can give! debbie

Awesome advice, thank you for all that information!!

Hi, we'll be doing this for the first time on Day 1 of an overnight in Maui (from the POA). Do you suggest turning around once we get to Hana and head back to the ship or drive all the way around the island to enjoy more sightseeing? Thanks!!!

If anyone has any questions about this cruise, please feel free to ask away. We did the Viking Ingvi from Budapest to Passau with a 2 night pre-cruise extension in Budapest. I may not have all the answers, but I'll probably have a lot 🙂 debbie
