Tauck is a company born out of the image of one family and created through a will to produce an excellent product. After moving to America in 1882, it was Herman Tauck’s son Arthur who carried out the first tour in 1925 and things took off from there. The company have come a long way since that first trip through New England, but it is their mission and beliefs that have enabled them to become one for the most successful river cruising operators in Europe.

The ideals at the heart of a Tauck cruise include giving customers an exclusive and personalised experience, whilst offering everything they would expect to find all in one price. Their brand of all-inclusive river cruises includes shore excursions, meals, beverages on board and plenty more besides, to create an experience that will live long in the memory.

The ships they use are custom designed to suit Europe’s most iconic rivers and the service offered aboard them is yet another plus. A full ship’s crew, intent on making your travel experience as easy and enjoyable as possible, is joined by no less than four Tauck tour directors to establish an excellent staff to guest ratio.

In 2015, Tauck enter their 90th year of operating in the travel industry and throughout this time they have maintained the mantra ‘How you see the world matters’. As you sail on the Seine or drift along the Danube, you can’t fail to notice that this is no ordinary river cruise.
