With a fleet of nine river ships, Tauck offers a luxurious brand of river cruising option to its well-heeled, curious guests. On every sailing, guests will be looked after by a Tauck cruise director and three expert Tauck guides. The company is known for being one of the best touring companies in the world and that reputation carries through to river cruising. So, expect a comprehensive touring schedule, and a luxury, all-inclusive experience while onboard. 

Tauck operates on rivers across Europe, from the Danube to the Douro, as well as longer trips where it adds pre- and post-cruise stays in major cities, like Berlin and Krakow, either side of a sailing. The company has a large presence in the US so attracts Americans wanting to make the most of their time on the Continent. However, it also perfectly suits those who share an ethos of diving deep into a destination.
