Guided by the Best
Personal, caring service is the hallmark of Tauck Directors and Tauck’s handpicked local guides. Together, they provide an enriching, truly authentic travel experience. Their expertise in local culture, customs, and traditions allows them to show you the world in ways you couldn’t experience on your own.
Closer Connections
The best travels bring the right kind of connections, with locals who share their daily lives along with secrets of nature, cultural insights, stories of the past that define the present, and special skills – a journey then becomes both both enriching and everlasting.
Unique, Exclusive Access
Unique and exclusive access defines a travel experience with Tauck. They take you behind the scenes, providing special access to must-see sites and places generally not open to the public, often at times when crowds aren’t there. It’s the difference between a trip – and the trip of a lifetime.
Truly All-Inclusive
Tauck wants you to sit back, relax and enjoy your cruise, so you can leave your worries behind as virtually every expense is included, from your transfers upon arrival and departure, all shore excursions, all beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), meals on and off the ship and all of your gratuities to the ship staff and Tauck staff.
Unique Experiences
Tauck is dedicated to finding off-the-beaten path, unique and exclusive experiences just for their guests. Dine in a private palace, or in a 650-year-old castle on its own island. Visit locals in their home and taste wine with the owners of a family-run vineyard. These are only a few examples of the unforgettable experiences you get with Tauck.
Your Perfect Choice
While all of Tauck’s excursions are included, you still get to make it your river cruise. 60 days before a cruise, you will get to choose the shore experiences that speak to you and show you Europe the way you want to see it. From walking tours with local guides to biking experiences short and long, you get to do what you’re most looking forward to.
Fewer Guests and More staff
Tauck’s river boats carry far fewer guests, offering you more space and a deeper personal connection to their staff and your fellow travelers. With as few as 84, 98 or 130 guests, their standard staterooms are 225 sq. ft. and their suites are 300 sq. ft. And their dedicated Tauck tour directors are with you from beginning to end, even during hotel stays and join you and the local guides on your daily excursions.
