Cary Cruiser Posted October 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2016 We will be on the river in the beginning of April next year. Is the Rhone prone to having any high water problems that time of year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted October 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I did the Rhone Saone the last week of March. Got a good deal that was hard to pass up. We were hesitant about the weather and water levels. We had a great time. The water level was good. We sailed the entire route. It was also nice since there were not that many ships at that time of year. Weather was good for touring. Be prepared for all types of weather. We wore shorts in Avignon and Arles. In Viviers, we froze. Even saw some snow flurries. I dressed in layers, and wore hats/gloves. I preferred that time of year when nothing was crowded. Early spring is a good time for that cruise. Many cruise lines offer great deals to get bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted October 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yes, high water can happen then. We were there in late March 2015 and had no issues but a cruse a few weeks later had some disruptions due to high water. Always a roll of the dice.

Cary Cruiser Posted October 23, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We will be travelling with GCT on the 46 passenger m/s Provence which is a relatively small ship, with only 3 decks including the sun deck. I wonder if this ship would do better in a high water situation than the larger/taller ships with 4 decks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
