We are (tentatively) planning a cruise on the Rhine River through Germany, etc. in October, 2016.
IF - and ONLY IF - travel to Europe is safe at that time.
P.S. The friggin’ Mississippi River WILL kill you. No thanks!
You should follow Homer_Simpson’s thread. I don’t think the Rhine is safe yet.

Went on several Rhine cruises when I was stationed in Germany, you will enjoy them. I wouldn’t be too worried about security, especially in Germany. German authorities don’t screw around. Germany was one country I always felt safe in.
