More Included. More Discovered. More Enjoyed.
Imagine exploring Europe's great rivers aboard an intimate, beautifully designed riverboat, with thoughtful details and memorable experiences waiting at every turn. Tauck combines the comfort of small-ship cruising with its signature all-inclusive approach, taking care of the details so you can focus on discovering each destination.
Small Ships, More Personal Space
Tauck's custom-designed riverboats are created for comfort, spaciousness, and a more intimate atmosphere. With fewer guests onboard than many traditional river cruise ships, you'll enjoy a relaxed setting and more room to make yourself at home.
One of Tauck's standout features is its 300-square-foot Tauck Suites, available on every riverboat. These spacious accommodations include separate seating areas, walk-in closets, large bathrooms with separate showers and rainfall showerheads, and two French balconies with floor-to-ceiling sliding windows.
On select ships, Tauck also offers beautifully appointed staterooms and suites designed to make the most of the river views.
Distinctively Inclusive: One Price, So Much More
One of the biggest differences with Tauck is its all-inclusive philosophy. Rather than adding extras along the way, Tauck includes a wide range of experiences and services in one upfront price.
Depending on the itinerary, your cruise fare includes:
Accommodations onboard and select overnight stays in exceptional city-center hotels
All meals and snacks onboard, plus select dining experiences ashore
Unlimited complimentary beverages onboard, including wine, beer, premium spirits, specialty coffee, tea, and soft drinks
Guided shore excursions and exclusive cultural experiences
Airport and select train station transfers
Complimentary Wi-Fi onboard
All gratuities, including those for Tauck Directors, ship crew, and local guides
Onboard entertainment and enrichment
The idea is simple: fewer extra expenses to think about and more time to enjoy your journey.
Dining Inspired by the Destinations
Food is an important part of the Tauck experience. Menus feature fresh ingredients, regional specialties, and wines that reflect the destinations along your route.
The elegant main dining room, The Compass Rose, offers changing menus, open seating, and flexible dining times, all with panoramic river views. No fixed dining schedule or reservations are needed.
For something more casual, Arthur's serves lighter breakfasts and classic favorites for lunch and dinner.
You can also enjoy regional tastings and locally inspired dining experiences that bring the flavors of each destination to your table.
Exclusive Experiences Beyond the Ordinary
Tauck believes that the best travel memories often happen off the ship. That's why its shore excursions go beyond traditional sightseeing.
Enjoy privately guided small-group excursions, special access to cultural treasures, and experiences created exclusively for Tauck guests. Depending on your itinerary, you might:
Visit historic landmarks and museums with special access
Enjoy private receptions, dinners, or musical performances in palaces and châteaux
Discover local traditions with knowledgeable guides
Taste regional wines and specialties
Explore charming towns and iconic cities with local experts
These experiences offer a closer look at the people, culture, and history that make each destination special.
A More Personal Way to Explore
Tauck's fully guided approach is another important part of the experience. Tauck Directors travel with you throughout your journey, working alongside local guides and experts to provide insight and personal attention.
From the time you arrive until the end of your cruise, they help coordinate the details, answer questions, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
It's the kind of support that allows you to relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about what's next.
Relaxation and Life Onboard
When you're not exploring ashore, there's plenty of room to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Spend time on the Sun Deck, take a dip in the Jacuzzi, enjoy a drink with fellow travelers, or simply watch the landscapes drift by. Depending on the ship, you may also find a fitness center, massage and spa facilities, a plunge pool, or bicycles for exploring ashore.
Evenings bring opportunities to unwind with regional entertainment, music, cultural performances, and conversations with new friends.
Is Tauck Right for You?
Tauck is an excellent choice for travelers who appreciate a more inclusive experience, spacious accommodations, personalized service, and meaningful cultural experiences.
It's especially appealing if you prefer knowing that many of the details are already taken care of, from excursions and beverages to gratuities and transfers.
With Tauck, the focus is not simply on visiting several destinations. It's about experiencing them in a more personal way, with thoughtful touches and exclusive opportunities along the journey.
