Travel Update: Low Water Levels in Europe
We’re closely monitoring low water levels on portions of the Rhine, Mosel, and Danube rivers in partnership with our regional teams and local partners. Due to prolonged dry weather and below-average water levels, navigation on certain sections of these rivers have been impacted.
Following careful review, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the following August Grand Circle Cruise Line departures.
Departures canceled due to low water conditions:
- Eastern Europe to The Black Sea — August 30 & September 7, 2026
- Romance of the Rhine & Mosel — September 1, 2026
- Grand European Cruise — September 7, 2026
Our Traveler Support team is contacting all affected travelers directly to discuss their options.
The safety and well-being of our travelers, ship crew, and Program Directors remains our highest priority. We will continue to monitor river conditions closely and update this page as new information becomes available.
