Anyone hear rumblings about river cruises being affected by the water level in the Danube? We have put off a Christmas market trip for 3 years now so I'm inclined to just push the boat!!

Funny you should ask. I was just reading about the rivers earlier today.

I think Christmas is far enough away that rivers will have an opportunity to rise again.

Went down to the river today in Budapest. Never seen so many parked cruise boats before. Spoke to a gentleman from CA, just got off a 2 hour bus trip with Viking.
I'm no expert, but if riding my river were my ambition, I would wait until after the snow melts for my booking. Talking May.
