Why river cruises?
Let's count the ways.
European                                                        River Cruising
The best way for your clients to see daily life in Europe unfold with a rhythm that is as authentic as the experiences they'll have, river cruising enables them to savor the sights slowly so they don't miss a beat. They can walk off the boat into the heart of history on a choice of included shore excursions in every destination and enjoy exclusive cultural experiences, without lines or crowds. Wake up in new destinations, without having to pack and unpack, aboard riverboats custom made for a more intimate travel experience with fewer guests, more space and more personalized service. Enjoy non-stop scenic views on ever-calm waterways – no waves or rocking – and distinctively inclusive value with everything included and no surprise expenses. And travel with like-minded folks who share similar interests in the cultural connections and warm camaraderie that's so much a part of an enriching river cruise experience. With 30 unique itineraries sailing throughout seasons, there are countless ways to explore Europe's majestic river cruises with Tauck.

The Danube River

Your clients can waltz down central Europe's river of kings between Austria and the Black Sea for a parade of Imperial privileges that make them feel like a royal. They will enjoy palace dinners in Prague, Vienna, and Belgrade; musical interludes in Passau, Budapest, and Salzburg; walking history tours in Bratislava, Dürnstein, Krakow and Berlin; and a taste of local life in a Polish salt mine, a Hungarian winery and a private home in Vukovar.

The Rhine                                                            River
The Rhine River

Born in the snow-peaked Swiss Alps, the Rhine roams the rolling countryside from Basel to Strasbourg before romancing German towns and villages crowned by castles and steeped in legends, ending in a land of windmills, Delftware and dikes worthy of leisurely look. Your clients can step off the riverboat into museums dedicated to the Old Dutch Masters, dine at castles moated and magical, and explore fairy-tale towns forested, lakefront and enchanted all.

The Seine                                                            River
The Seine River

Coursing through Paris with the unmistakable French spirit of joie de vivre, the River Seine has stories to tell as it glides through the painted landscapes of Giverny, Rouen, Honfleur and Le Havre, en route to the English Channel. Your clients will enjoy a private rendezvous with Mona Lisa at the Louvre, Claude Monet's garden-graced home, and during dinner at a country château reserved exclusively for Tauck. Savor cider and wines where they are made, Impressionist art where it was created and French cuisine where it was perfected.

The Douro                                                            River
The Douro River

No place grows wine quite like Portugal's Douro River, chronicling 2,000 years of wine making history from Spain to Porto, where it flirts with the Atlantic Ocean. Cruise alongside traditional rabelo boats that ferry barrels of liquid gold from picturesque quintas to ports and port houses on the coast. Your clients will visit hilltop castles and view prehistoric rock art. Hike or bike through vineyards on terraced estates, admire story telling tiles and discover why Tauck's ship, ms Andorinha, was named after a Portuguese swallow that symbolizes home.
