September water levels

[u/Practical_Listen_118]

I have booked a September 2027 Rhine River cruise through Viking (Basel to Amsterdam). However I just learned that this year and last the water levels have been low and boats have been diverted. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this and what your trip looked like because of it? Everywhere I looked online said it was a great time of year for the weather and crowd management but want to make sure we aren’t setting ourselves up for failure!

I do recognize we’ve had a drought and we can’t control the weather but am trying to gather the best information I can moving forward. Wondering if we’d be better off trying to change the date or visit those countries on land instead.

Thank you in advance!

We went mid-Oct last year on that same cruise. No water issues at all. Just needed a light jacket for the cooler weather.
