Small is big
On a Tauck river cruise, fewer guests means more of everything else. More space to stretch out. More time to soak it in. More quiet moments – and more meaningful ones, too. Smaller ships mean more space to call your own, fewer lines to navigate, and a front-row seat to everything – onboard and ashore.
Fewer guests onboard
While many riverboats maximize capacity, we design for comfort. Tauck's vessels average just 104 guests – and even our largest riverboats accommodate no more than 130 guests, up to 30% fewer than other ships of similar size. That means no lines, no crowds, and plenty of room to take it all in.
More private space, larger cabins
You'll notice the difference the moment you step inside. Nearly two-thirds of our cabins are 225 square feet or larger, with uninterrupted river views. Our fleet includes the largest collection of 300-square-foot Tauck Suites on Europe's waterways – with walk-in closets, full-size bathrooms, and double French balconies. You won't find just one or two suites onboard – you'll find as many as 20. And with innovative loft cabins and no single supplement on select staterooms, every traveler can enjoy spacious comfort, their way.
A sophisticated, intimate atmosphere
Fewer guests create a more serene onboard experience – never rushed, never crowded. There's always room to dine where you please, no reservations required. Always a seat for the evening's entertainment. Always a quiet space to read, reflect, or simply enjoy the view.
Small group excursions
On land, the experience stays personal. Our guests explore in smaller groups, with a thoughtful guest-to-guide ratio of just 15 to 1. Each excursion is carefully timed and orchestrated to avoid the crowds – so you can enjoy Europe's cultural treasures with space to truly appreciate them.
