Wow! Just found this great topic thread. Lots of very good info about the terrible flooding along the Rhine and southern Germany.
We are scheduled to board our river cruise on Saturday June 8th in Basel, cruising to Amsterdam. Based on what I’m reading about the high river level and barge traffic ban, I guess we may be doing more bussing than cruising. Any updating on the river level would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Notamermaid (a late night for you. I am at 5:30pm and you are 7hrs ahead).
Thank you very much for the info, much appreciated. I suspect our boat is cruising from Amsterdam to Basel, so running into the wave. If that delays them in a port on the way then they will have a contingency plan I guess. Either we board late in Basel or bus to wherever the boat gets to (or something in between). We will make the best of it. Unfortunately residents on the river will be have a very hard time of it.
