What the water is actually doing on the Elbe today, at the places a river cruise ship
has to get through. Every number is a measurement that has already been taken.

We publish no comparison line for this gauge. This reading is context for the reach
rather than a figure to measure a ship against, and inventing a line to compare it
with would be worse than saying so.
The solid line is what this gauge has measured. The dashed line is the level normal
for the date (median for 2000–2026).
Nothing here is a forecast.

It means less than a cruise line would like you to think and more than a search result will
tell you. A reading below the line we draw does not mean your cruise is cancelled, and a
reading above it is not a promise that it will sail. Only the operator decides that.
Waterlogged does not provide a future river depth forecast. The trend and the graph describe
measured moves that have already happened.
To see these gauges arranged against one particular sailing — the ports in order, the dates
you are actually on the water — start from the front page and pick your cruise line, your
cruise and your departure date.
