We plan on taking a Viking cruise on the Douro River. I am concerned about water levels. Does any one have experience with this river and any suggestions on the best time to go to avoid a problem.
Thank you

What problem?? The river has an half dozen dams on its course, the crossing of the dam locks it's another of the highlights (besides the landscape). If the cruises are schedule this means that the river has "sufficient water" for it...
the water level in Douro river is controlled, so between winter and summer time there's no much difference, but of course winter months the level is slightly over the year average.
I believe the choice should be based on weather and the views, considering that I suggest:
May to July - warm weather not too much and the landscapes are colorful
