Uniworld has posted a notice that the lock between Vienna and Budapest is closed for repairs. They hope it will reopen by the 19th.

Viking has posted that the lock is to open for upstream traffic on the 15th. Downstream will take some time longer.

Check vantage Facebook page. They did cancel some trips, but not many. Good luck on your trip. I have not had great success with the Boston office, but of course that is you best source of info. I'll be interested in you cruise and what adjustments they make. Surely thimgs won't be back to normal for several months.

I only see one trip that Vantage cancelled - Budapest to Cologne. That boat is stuck in Budapest. I need for it to get to Cologne by 6-29. There is a broken lock between Vienna and Melk that will keep it below that point until 6-20, when the lock is supposed to open. Vantage does not have a sister ship running this route in the opposite direction, so no switching will be available.
