Low water
Due to the low water level, the stations listed below can no longer be approached:
- Lorch Station
- Kamp Bornhofen Station (starting June 18; valid only for the RMS Goethe on the Nostalgia Route)
- Oberlahnstein Station (starting June 18; valid only for the RMS Goethe on the Nostalgia Route)
Please note the general information regarding low water levels:
Due to low water levels and the resulting restrictions on boat traffic, there may unfortunately be delays in the scheduled service for regular routes.
Some landing stages along the Rhine are currently very steep due to low water levels. Please note that, for insurance reasons, the crew is not permitted to assist guests with boarding or disembarking, and bicycles, trailers, and e-bikes must be brought on board and off again by the guests themselves.
Guests with limited mobility must rely on the assistance of their fellow passengers.
Pier 7 and 8 in Cologne (below the Hohenzollern Bridge, departure point for the MS RheinHarmonie and MS Willi Ostermann) are particularly steep.
The second landing bridge in Düsseldorf at Burgplatz (LB BP 2), which is used on occasional occasions by the MS RheinPoesie, is also very steep and, due to steps leading to the pontoon, is only suitable to a very limited extent for passengers with limited mobility.
In the ship schedules andsightseeing tour lists for Cologne and Düsseldorf, you can see which ships are in service and when.
