Historic low water levels on Europe's Danube and Rhine rivers in July 2026 have forced major river cruise lines to reroute sailings, swap ships, and cancel some port stops. Passengers faced early disembarkations and bus excursions replacing missed river stops.

Carnival Cruise Line has canceled nine Carnival Jubilee sailings from Galveston in 2027 due to itinerary changes. Passengers booked on these sailings are advised to check their reservations.

Bookings are now open for Zuiderdam’s first European voyages launching April 2, 2028, following the ship’s extensive modernization under Holland America Evolution. The new itineraries cover the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Iceland, and Greenland.
