APT / Travelmarvel river fleet · snapshot Thu 6 Aug 2026 · updates each run (hourly)
Low-water protocols active. Rhine at Kaub ~19 cm and Danube at Budapest ~20 cm (well below the 33 cm 2018 record).
Cruise ships cannot transit the Middle Rhine (Kaub) or Straubing–Vilshofen reaches, so guests are moved by coach around them; the Budapest / Danube Bend reach is suspended.
BfG's 14-day forecast keeps Kaub below its 77 cm low-water mark with near-certainty, no flood risk.
