After breakfast on board, you disembark and begin your onward journey from Vienna. We wish you a pleasant and safe journey, and a happy festive season!
**THINGS TO KNOW**
Local river authorities allocate docking space around ship arrivals and departures in port. Typically, river ships dock facing upstream. Occasionally port conditions require ships to tie up alongside each other, in which case guests may be required to walk through another ship to access their own ship. This is part of the river cruise experience and is perfectly normal and beyond our control. Guests may experience obstructed views from staterooms when the ship is docked. Please note that on occasion, docking locations can change on short notice due to port authority decisions.
**Changes in the water level:** unusually low or high river water levels may cause changes to the itinerary, possible reembarkation on another vessel or transfer(s) by coach or rail, or even to a shortening of the cruise. Amadeus River Cruises, the tour operator and the ship’s captain sometimes have to take such decisions quickly. Such measures may not, understandably enough, justify cancellation, termination or withdrawal from the contract by the person travelling; and passengers may not derive from them any claims on the tour operator or Amadeus, including without limitation claims for monetary damages.
