    From the release notes:

    Ardoris Plague: A horrific plague hit the town of Ardoris and devastated the population there. Only a fraction of the humans and animals survived. Even the gondoliers, whose constitutions were the hardiest, were not immune. Please refrain from civic disorder while Siranto and Khasi work towards recruiting the guards that were lost. In all seriousness we had to significantly reduce the NPC population for performance reasons.

    But don't panic! You just have to row yourself now. Click on the gondola (not the other row boat, but the gondola if you are at places like the Square) and you can still get around just like you used to.

    If you are at the Market, for example, head on down to the water right below the boatman sign :)

    Aha, I had been trying to click on the sign.
    Are the gondolas at the palaces? If so, is it part of the game that we jump off the bridge/causeway and have to survive to get the fast travel?

    So sad to hear about the plague, perhaps this will keep those lovers inside the inn and in a (soundproof) room where they belong.

    At Sequanna Square the Boatman is gone, the sign however is indicated as "clickable" (green arrow). However, clicking doesn't do anything. The boat itself is inactive.
    Confusing. Will run now..

    This confused me as well...but there are two boats. Look for the other boat nearby. You want the gondola boat not the traditional looking row boat.
    The sign itself does have a green arrow but that one never teleported. The boat is on the other side of the wall (but facing the same sign and is visible from the sign) that's the one you want.

    If possible I would either remove the boat being green, convert the sign into the teleporter or move it to the water if no NPC can be added. The current situation is not intuitive or logical and potentially frustrating for players.
