Please note the following 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 departure times for regular service.

Some landing docks along the Rhine are currently very steep due to the low water levels. Please note that, for insurance reasons, the crew is not permitted to assist guests with boarding or disembarking, and guests must load and unload bicycles, trailers, and e-bikes onto and off the boat themselves.
Guests with limited mobility must rely on the assistance of their fellow passengers.

Panoramic Tours of Cologne, Restrictions Due to Low Water Levels:

Depending on current water levels and traffic volume, the route for the Cologne Panorama Cruises may need to be adjusted. Should this occur, the captain on board will inform passengers of the changed route.

Pier 7 and 8 in Cologne (below the Hohenzollern Bridge, departure point for the MS RheinHarmonie and MS Willi Ostermann) are particularly steep. Guests with limited mobility will need assistance from their fellow passengers.

Düsseldorf Panorama Cruises, restrictions due to low water levels:

Depending on current water levels and traffic volume, the route for the Düsseldorf Panorama Cruises may need to be adjusted, and it may not be possible, for example, to enter the Medienhafen.

The second landing bridge in Düsseldorf at Burgplatz (LB BP 2), which is used by the MS RheinPoesie on select dates, is very steep and, due to the steps leading down to the pontoon, is only suitable to a very limited extent for passengers with limited mobility.
