    get_monthly_oddsCurrent 12-month cruise-disruption odds for one of Europe's main cruise rivers (chance a sailing day hits low water, or high water on the Seine). Refreshed daily from official sources.
    get_live_gaugesToday's official water-level readings (cm) at the cruise-critical gauges on the Rhine, Danube, Elbe and Seine, with each station's state and its percentile against thirty years.
    score_sailingScore a specific river cruise: the chance a sailing departing on a given date meets low water (high water on the Seine) at its river's tightest stretch. Uses the live daily forecast where it reaches (~7 months) and the thirty-year weekly record beyond, plus what the same dates actually did in each of the last five years.
    get_month_detailWhy a given month behaves the way it does on one of the four rivers: the seasonal hydrology, the thirty-year frequency, and the last five years' outcomes for that month.
