We don't go until Noc. 20th
-
It looks like there may be some precipitation next week in some areas. The questions is, will it be enough to make a difference.
-
Good questions. First, I keep googling and get the impression it is all ships. Second, I will double check my trip insurance. I hope I have the option to back out if we decide to.

Thank you very much for telling us about your experience. I think Viking is fearful that if they are honest, folks like us will cancel our plans (thank goodness we got trip insurance). I am sadden by the unwillingness of Viking to 'level' with us. Again, I am very appreciative of your giving us good information from which to work.

We will be glad to let you know about our cruise when we go. Right now, given the situation with the river levels, we are not sure we will go.

We are 'supposed' to be in the Viking Gefjon out of Budapest on the 20th. It is feeling more and more like we may end up on a bus!? to Vienna. We have never done a river cruise and we are very distressed that the cruise we had thought we were going to have in which we could unpack, relax and enjoy the romance of the Danube to Nuremberg will not happen. Even worse, is Viking will not give any information about the situation. Fortunately, we have the messages here on Cruise Critic to give us some current information. I hope that others currently cruising will let us know their experience so we can decide what to expect and what to do. Please pass along anything you learn and we will do likewise.

It sounds like you spent a lot of time on ground transportation and very little on your boat. What was that like? We are traveling from Budapest beginning 11/20.

Super update. Please keep the messages coming. I really appreciate hearing what is going on. Yes, here in Georgia we are getting more than our share of the wet stuff. Wish we could send a little over to the Danube!:)

If anyone is currently on a Viking cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg or has just come from one, I'd love to hear about their experience......particularly about the water levels and if a bus trip was involved. Thanks.
-
Thank you for the links. We are nervous about what the low water levels mean and whether we will end up spending a lot of time on a bus instead of on the boat. We were looking forward to a relaxing trip where we could unpack and enjoy the ride and tours for the whole trip. These water level issues put that whole thought in question. Just what does transferring boats involve? Is it really bad to have to take a bus. It sort of defeats the whole idea of a 'river cruise'!?

My wife and I are going on the Viking cruise from Budapest on the Danube on November 20th. We are hearing about the water levels on the Danube and are concerned that the boat will not be able to go the entire trip. Any help we can get would be appreciated.

I hope for you that will be the case.
