About Tauck
Tauck is a family-owned American travel company founded in 1925. Its river cruises are fully guided and all-inclusive: every sailing is accompanied by Tauck Directors who handle logistics, and the fare bundles in most of what you’d otherwise pay for along the way.
The fleet
Tauck sails intimate riverboats carrying roughly 84–130 guests — fewer than most competitors — with larger-than-average cabins around 300 square feet. Two new ships, ms Reverie on the Seine and ms Saudade on the Douro, join the fleet in 2027.
Where they sail
Tauck cruises the Danube, Rhine and Moselle, the Seine, the Rhône and Saône, and Portugal’s Douro, often paired with land touring in cities such as Prague or Paris.
Who it’s for
Travelers who want a structured, “everything handled” trip with a guided, escorted feel — and multigenerational families, thanks to the dedicated Tauck Bridges program.
