Danube odds of sailing as planned rise to 48 percent

The Danube between Straubing and Vilshofen now has a 48 percent chance of sailing as planned this week, up from 29 percent yesterday. Rhine water levels at Kaub came up a centimeter overnight to 16 centimeters, which is still low water. Thirty-two millimeters of rain is due in the Alpine headwaters over the next seven days, with this week's Rhine odds at 18 percent as planned. Low water of this kind usually means lighter loading or a swap to a sister ship with a coach in between, not a canceled cruise.
