European River Cruising with Tauck

Travel Beyond Ordinary

Great Solo Savings available!

Family owned since 1925, Tauck has been delighting travellers with their inclusive explorations and inspiring journeys for the last hundred years.

Launching its inaugural European river cruise in 1992, well before river cruising became the trend it is today. Tauck has established itself as a leading authority on Europe’s iconic waterways.

Tauck offers an unrivalled experience of both the renowned destinations along the rivers and the hidden treasures that lie off the beaten path. Consistently recognized among the ‘World’s Best’, Tauck River Cruises shows you the sights in a different way, an experiential way.

Tauck brings the locals aboard to share stories and traditions, invites you ashore for a glass of wine with the vintners who made them, arranges dinners in private palaces with nobles who live there, and invites you to concerts in opera houses and exclusive venues for Tauck guests only.
