Where’s My Boat?
If you’re concerned about your itinerary because of flooding, drought, or whatever else happens in Europe, there’s a handy page you can use to track your Viking longship, or really just about any cruise ship in the world. You can see where it is, where’s it’s been, and there’s a webcam to get an idea of the conditions.
What are the river levels at?
Another helpful page for river cruising on the Danube River is linked below. It takes a little bit of interpreting, but once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll probably check it every day if there’s something going on weather wise. The reason the river level is important is that if it’s too high or too low, you’ll be forced to switch boats along the way. Viking does a great job with this, but it’s still a hassle and might impact how you pack.
Are the locks open?
And one last page, because when you spent a decent chunk of change on a cruise, you might not want to leave any detail un-obsessed over. There are several locks along the Danube River. We travelled through 11 on the Danube Waltz itinerary. If they are closed or damaged, you’ll be getting bused around them.
