travel update
At Trafalgar, the well-being of our guests and team members is always our top priority. With this in mind, we monitor world events very closely and make operational decisions based on informed advice from a number of sources. Our worldwide travel updates page advises you on how these events may affect you and your travels with Trafalgar and if there are actions you need to take.
Water levels on portions of the Rhine and Danube are currently running lower than usual for this time of year. Our teams are monitoring conditions closely so that any itinerary adjustments, if needed, are made thoughtfully and with guests' best interests in mind.
Because river levels can shift quickly, sometimes within days, we build itinerary decisions around the most current data available, not forecasts made too far in advance. When a change is needed, our goal is always continuity of experience: alternate embarkation points, a different ship, a well-chosen hotel stay, or motorcoach transfers that keep the destinations at the heart of your journey.
Sailing in September: We're reviewing each September departure individually and shaping the strongest possible plan for every sailing affected by current conditions. Because rivers can change day to day, we're holding final details until we're confident they're accurate, rather than sharing information that might change. If your voyage needs adjusting, we'll reach out directly with confirmed plans, no need to call ahead. We know the wait can test your patience, and we appreciate it as we get this right.
Sailing in October: It's still early to assess conditions for these dates. We'll continue watching the rivers as your departure approaches and will be in touch with you or your travel advisor if anything changes.
Trafalgar Tours Limited is a proud member of The Travel Corporation family of companies.
