Why River Cruises Can Fail Without Warning — My Danube Trip Explained

The worst thing that can happen on a river cruise just happened to me. Low water levels on the Danube brought my CroisiEurope cruise from Vienna to the Black Sea to a grinding halt in Romania. Here's the full story of what went wrong, how the cruise line handled it, and the Ryanair disaster that followed. In this video, I take you through: • The moment we discovered the Danube water levels were too low to continue • How CroisiEurope managed the crisis and rerouted our journey • What happened to our planned visit to Constanța on the Black Sea • Whether this impacted my onward travel plans • The chaotic Ryanair flight experience getting back to the UK If you're planning a European river cruise, this is essential viewing. Low water levels are becoming more common, and you need to know what to expect. #rivercruise #danube #croisieurope #cruisedisaster #travelgonewrong Chapter Times 00:00 The cruise was going perfectly... until 00:15 So what has happened? 03:40 Penultimate Day On Board 05:30 Final Day On Board 07:41 Nearly Three Hours On Board The music on this channel is from Epidemic Sounds If you enjoyed this film and want to see more bucket list musts subscribe to my channel!
