A Day on the RiverA great way to explore Europe  Tauck’s riverboat cruises take you to treasured cities and towns along Europe’s fabled inland waterways in legendary Tauck Style, enchanting you with intimate portraits of fairy-tale castles and storybook villages on visits fit for royalty. Wake up to a new port of call every day and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast buffet aboard ship. Most mornings, join your Tauck Director and local experts ashore on signature sightseeing excursions that have earned Tauck recognition as the World’s Best Tour Operator in the industry. Or, take in the picturesque sights of the scenic shores from atop the Sun Deck as your riverboat glides past centuries-old cities, grand cathedrals and medieval landscapes en route to your next storied destination. More time to enjoy the sights All Tauck riverboat cruises feature a well-paced mix of active sightseeing and leisurely travel. Some days we explore two or three different towns along our route. Other days begin with a guided walking tour of the historic town where your ship is docked, followed by time to explore on your own. Or, we may spend an entire morning or afternoon aboard the riverboat, cruising to our next port of call – a great time to discover your shipboard amenities. But every day, you can indulge in the relaxing cadence of river cruising, without the need to constantly pack and unpack as you travel to each new destination. Add fine dining and the attentive do-it-for-you services of our Tauck Cruise Director and Tauck Directors, and you’ll agree that river cruising, Tauck Style, is a great way to travel. Discoveries along the Rivers of Royalty  The rivers and inland waterways explored on our Tauck River Cruises are the lifeblood of Europe, serving for centuries as vital highways between nations, and chronicling a tumultuous history that dates back 2,000 years. Arguably the most romantic river in the world, the 1,770-mile-long Danube waltzes through ten countries from western Europe to the Black Sea. Coursing through Germany to the Netherlands, the mighty Rhine is home to more castles than any other river on earth. The Main-Danube Canal fulfills the centuries-old dreams of kings who wished to link the North Sea with the Black Sea. All throughout Europe, smaller rivers, canals and other waterways forge a scenic path through the heart of the continent.Carefully choreographed itineraries on each Tauck river cruise includes guided visits to must-see sights with local experts, enhanced by VIP admissions and special experiences available only with Tauck. Visit a local cheese farm and stroll through Holland’s colorful Keukenhof Gardens, abloom with springtime flowers. Be treated like royalty at our gala dinner in a Viennese palace for Tauck guests only. Savor a bouquet of locally harvested, hand-crafted German wines at a family-owned vineyard in Cochem. Sample Bulgarian cuisine and warm hospitality at a home-hosted lunch in Arbanassi. Take a private tour of the beautiful Baroque libraries of Prague's Strahov Monastery. Dine at a French manor house in Obernai featuring local Alsatian wine. Ride aboard a horse-drawn wagon to a Hungarian equestrian center where traditional Puszta horsemen demonstrate time-honored skills. Enjoy a hands-on, interactive culinary experience for lunch at historic Château Neercanne in the Netherlands, or a special dinner with entertainment and a wine-tasting in the wine cellars of Würzburg's famous Residenz. With daily cultural discoveries ranging from a wine-tasting at a Wachau winery to a Belgian chocolate-making demonstration to a Viennese strüdel class, Tauck makes every day of your riverboat cruise a most memorable one.
