Specially designed for cruising Europe’s inland waterways, our select, exclusive-to-Tauck riverboats welcome our guests with a club-like atmosphere where personalized attention and gracious service ensure a most memorable cruise. Sail aboard three of Europe’s finest, newest and roomiest riverboats, ms Swiss Emerald, ms Swiss Sapphire and ms Swiss Jewel. Spacious, well-appointed cabins range from 150 to 183 sq. ft. and provide plush accommodations with plasma TV, terry bathrobes, fine L’Occitane toiletries, large windows, mini bar, radio, safe, hair dryer, air-conditioning and a private bathroom with shower; power is 220 volt. In addition, all three ships offer 14 beautiful 300-square-foot suites equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble baths, flat-screen televisions and walk-in closets, as well as 7 junior suites. A crew of 29 attentively serves just 118 Tauck guests.

Dining aboard each ship is a pleasure in the spacious Restaurant, offering an elegant dining experience and catering to all tastes with daily buffets, a choice of menus and special theme dinners. Vegetarian meals are available, and a selection of international wines is included with dinner; beer and soft drinks are also included with lunch and dinner. Alternative bistro dining – a first on Europe's rivers – is available in the Lido Bar in the stern, featuring a 180° glass wall that opens for indoor / outdoor cocktails; limited outdoor dining is also available. The Lido Bar also offers coffee and tea, cappuccino and snacks throughout the day. Complimentary snack baskets are served from 2:00 PM to midnight; room service breakfast is available in Category 6 suites.

By day, relax on the sun deck as you view the ever-changing river landscapes in welcome comfort. In the evening, enjoy happy hours and cocktails in the lounge, while an on-board pianist plays your favorite tunes, or dance the night away – the bar stays open late into the night.
