beverlyjack Posted June 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I have done a summary from http://www.marinetraffic.com of all passenger ships of over 100 meters on the Danube from Regensburg to Budapest, as of June 25, 2014 from 15:00h to 16:30h. As this was manually done, errors may occur. Starting in Regensburg Viking Njord docked since 6/19 Amacerto Docked since 6/24 Princess Sophie, just docked Viking Idun docked since 6/19 Royal Crown, just docked Rouse Prestige Just docked Viking Idi docked since 6/22 Avalon Impression docked since 6/21 Linz Tui Maxima just docked River Concerto docked since 6/22 Primadonna just docked Viking prestige docked since 6/15 Viking Delling underway Bellisima underway Viking Freya just docked Viking Bragi docked today Amadeus Royal underway River Princess underway Krems River Beatrice Arrived today Swiss Diamond docked today Vicking Legend docked today Swiss Jewel docked today Viking Magni docked today Amadeus underway Vista Explorer docked today Pinzessin Katherine under way Beethoven under way Elena underway Budapest My Story docked today River Adagio docked today Viking Bestla docked, since 6/23 Although it seems that traffic is flowing for the most part , a large number of Viking ships, particularly longships have been unable to sail, presumably because of deeper draft.

nana541 Posted June 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wondering about the Avalon Impression, have not heard Avalon was having issues nor have we heard from any unhappy cruisers? Docked since 6/21??? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverlyjack Posted June 25, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted June 25, 2014 From what I can see in http://www.marinetraffic.com, the Avalon Impression is a little downstream of Passau. The last movement that I can see was heading upstream on 6/21. Perhaps Avalon is treating the passengers well enough that they don't feel a reason to complain, or they have no internet access.

Rare marazul Posted June 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Great job, beverlyjack! Have you been able to find the Viking Kara? It should be in Budapest today, but it doesn't show in marinetraffic.com. Edited June 25, 2014 by marazul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.T. Posted June 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Attached is a list of the Avalon Impression movements over the next fw weeks in and around Passau. I'll have a look tomorrow to see if I can find her. AI.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeman Posted June 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Avalon - according to FB, a couple ships affected but pax are reporting Avalon treating them well. We go on Impression one week from today. Hoping for rain and a good trip! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beverlyjack Posted June 25, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted June 25, 2014 marinetraffic.com could not find the Viking Kara, but vesselfinder.com had it it Amsterdam. Looking at Amsterdam with marinetraffic, it showed the Viking Kara docked in Amsterdam behind the Centraal Station, having arrived at 03:42 this morning and scheduled to arrive in Budapest on July 7. It seems that the Viking Fleet is scattered throughout Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is scheduled for the Nurenberg-Budapest cruises the rest of the season. Let's hope it does make it to Budapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted June 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Here's a message from Avalon's FB page, Avalon Waterways 8 hours ago WATER LEVELS ON THE DANUBE: Due to the lack of rain in Europe, water levels between Regensburg and Passau are relatively low right now. So far, these water levels haven't caused a great deal of disruption for our travelers, but we have put contingency plans in place this week to allow for continued sightseeing if/when ships need to dock in Passau (or other ports), due to the low rivers. Because the nature of rivers is to ebb and flow, much can change daily (even hourly). Should water levels change drastically (for the worse), we will provide additional posts on this page and as needed, we will get in contact with agents and future travelers directly. In the meantime, our fingers are crossed for more rain. Thanks for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
