Our cruise fom Engelhartzell to Constanta went without a hitch. Water levels looked good all the way and also on the Delta. The guide was saying that they expect levels to drop a couple of meters over the next month. Now on our return leg so hoping levels stay good.

Thanks notamermaid, Yes, Arosa are a little off beat for english speaking tourists but the Flora is badged as an "international" vessel and a lot of the crew have some english, however, my partner is German so it makes life a little easier 🙂 and I have also been studying German for the last year. It is a return trip and although we only got as far as hungary last year the company could not have done more to make our time aboard a fantastic experience. They were also more than generous with their compensation package given that they still completed their contract for the cruise. We actually own a motor cruiser which we keep over here on the river shannon, but we wanted to do something special last year. Super exited to be doing it again this year again. Brian

After a failed attempt to cruise from Passau to the black sea last year (low water levels) we are trying again this year. We will be on the Arosa Flora at the end of June so a little earlier than last year and hopefully the water levels will be kinder 🙂 This thread looks like a great resource to keep tabs on the situation.
