Levels relevant to this sailing

Departing Saturday 21 November 2026.

This page does not say whether your cruise will run. It shows what the rivers on your route are reading now, how far that sits from the water a ship of this size needs, which of your days are level-sensitive at all, and where to read the authority's and the operator's own pages.

7 of 21 days on this itinerary sit on free-flowing water, where the level is the constraint. 5 are held by locks, and 8 are alongside.

These chips describe the kind of water each day sits on — geography, not a forecast and not a judgment about your sailing. A day held by locks does not care about a drought upstream; a free-flowing day is where the level is the constraint.

The corridors this itinerary crosses

Waterlogged class clear-line, using an assumed class draught of 1.55 m. A Waterlogged clear-line is our own arithmetic: the gauge reading at which the published reference depth, minus the ship's draught and a fixed safety allowance, still leaves a comfortable margin. It is not an operator's decision rule and no cruise line uses it.

Measured water-level data from Országos Vízügyi Főigazgatóság (OVF) / General Directorate of Water Management, published with its permission. Daily values are arithmetic means of each day's observations; where a figure here is worked out from them rather than copied, the input data originate from the General Directorate of Water Management.

  • Measured daily means only; missing dates are omitted and gaps are never interpolated.
  • This panel describes historical measurements and fitted seasonality, not a forecast.
  • Day-of-year medians use only the licensed measurements available for this gauge.
  • The current-year series ends at no date in the window; later licensed measurements are unavailable.

What Scenic publishes

Waterlogged does not interpret your contract and does not calculate what you may be owed. These are the operator's own pages and the dated facts we could establish about them.

  • Named disruption programme found: yes — River Cruise Cover
  • Terms differ by booking market: yes, on the evidence read
  • Confidence in that finding: confirmed
  • Last checked: 2026-08-01

Emerald is in the same group but its cover wording and thresholds are not interchangeable with Scenic's. Each brand and booking market must be read separately.

What we could not establish:

  • The exact event that Scenic will treat as activating cover beyond the normal-change examples
  • Whether a separate total monetary cap applies in the passenger's market
  • The currency and figures for Canada, United States and Australia rather than the EUR rendering reviewed
  • Whether a refund-of-unused-remainder is an explicit passenger election right

Operator policies change without notice and differ by booking market and contract version. Waterlogged does not calculate your refund, credit, hotel entitlement or insurance payout, and does not determine cancellation rights or legal remedies. Read the operator's own documents and the terms attached to your booking, and do not cancel pre-emptively on the strength of river data alone.

Four questions worth asking your operator or agent:

  1. Which dated regional contract and disruption-program version applies to my booking?
  2. What does that document say for this specific itinerary change, and who decides whether it applies?
  3. What are the consequences if I cancel or reject a proposed change before the operator acts?
  4. What notice, evidence and deadline does the current document require, and where must it be sent?

An alert here is a measured centimetre crossing on a named gauge — never a score, a probability or a changed opinion.

Request the Daily River Log Watch for this sailing. We keep the address only for that request: no marketing and no sale of the address. The morning email for a served sailing is sent each day until the morning after it ends; a sailing we do not serve sends nothing until we serve it. See Privacy for retention and deletion.

Keep my email for this sailing only, so Waterlogged can send me the Daily River Log Watch for it once this sailing is served. Nothing is sent until then. No marketing and no sale of my address. Delete it on request or no later than 180 days after the scheduled sailing. Privacy details: /privacy.
