38 Scenic°® © Scenic Locked Rivers To make traversing these rivers accessible and seamless, water locks were added. A lock is essentially an elevator with which ships can be raised or lowered to overcome the water level disparities between different sections of the rivers. Europe’s waterways are filled with locks and the Main-Danube Canal alone has 16 locks, some as high as 25 metres. The invention of the water locks is a true engineering marvel with Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci, providing clever designs to perfect the process. Watching your Captain expertly manoeuvre your Space-Ship through these narrow locks is a treat.

However, despite detailed planning, some days Mother Nature simply doesn’t co-operate. High or low water levels lead to lock closures and difficulties passing under bridges. Our local offices in Europe monitor levels closely to handle all navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner to minimise disruptions. Itinerary Deviations A deviation can be a minor inconvenience, a prolonged change or an extended disruption depending on the specific circumstances on the rivers at that time. These generally occur when a ship can’t pass through or stop in a section of the river due to water levels, a closed lock or river obstruction. ONLINE | CALL | APP
