River Water WatchRiverwaterwatch.com was built because we love river cruising.We help river cruise passengers understand river cruise water levels and the risk of disruption across Europe’s major cruise rivers, including Danube water levels, Rhine water levels, Elbe water levels and Seine water levels.If you are checking Rhine river cruise water levels, Danube river cruise conditions, low water on the Danube, low water on the Rhine, high water, flooding, changing river conditions or the likelihood of a river cruise itinerary being disrupted, River Water Watch is designed to make that information much easier to understand.Every morning, we bring together official river gauge readings, rainfall forecasts, current river conditions and historical river data to assess the likelihood of river cruise disruption.

Our river cruise water level forecasts are intended to help passengers who are researching a future trip as well as those already booked and watching conditions before departure.Google describes River Water Watch as “a completely legitimate, independent tool used by travelers to track and predict water levels on Europe’s cruise rivers.”That independence matters to us.

Thanks Sherry. Sometimes just having a better idea of what to expect makes all the difference. River conditions can change right up to departure, and the cruise companies are very used to adapting when they need to. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Thank you, Paul. Glad it's useful. We recalculate every morning and will write the moment anything changes for your dates, and again at 30 and 7 days out. More is coming too. We're working on ways for passengers to tell us what actually happened on board, so the forecasts get better for the next traveller. Have a wonderful cruise.
