The Viking Lif captain has so far had very little communication with the passengers. So when he spoke over the PA system just before lunch, TSH and Diva already knew that there would be no good news. The Danube has risen so far that not only can the Lif not progress further, but it needs to retreat downstream - back towards Passau - to avoid being totally trapped.
So at some time over the next 24 hours, everyone will pack, disembark and transfer to an identical Viking ship which is somewhere around the canal. Tomorrow was to be a highlight for Diva - traversing the many locks linking the Danube with the Rhine, and then an escorted tour to Nuremburg. It is not yet clear what time the transfer will happen or where the new ship will be.
Watch this space!!
