A whale of a cruise off Vancouver Island

A whale-watcher's paradise, the waters off Victoria at the tip of Vancouver Island are home to a wealth of marine life. Along with seals, porpoises, sea lions and countless seabirds, there's a population of resident killer whales (orcas); humpbacks, the region's largest whale, singing loudly to announce their oversized presence; minke, the smallest of the locals here, also quite vocal; and migrating gray whales, often surfacing close enough for a friendly hello during your private whale-watching cruise by Eagle Wing Tours. Climb aboard their cozy, semi-covered catamaran 4 Ever Wild – offering multiple outdoor and inside viewing options, onboard restrooms, comfortable leather seating and more – for an enriching, inspiring and unforgettable nature-viewing experience.

Three Rivers: Danube, Main & Rhine

Exclusive Dinner at Slot Loevestein

An evocative water castle that has made history since it was constructed in the 14th century, Slot Loevestein reigns over its own private island, where the Maas and Waal rivers come together. Originally built by a knight as his stone residence, it was later used to charge tolls from trading vessels using the rivers before being expanded to a larger fortress in the 16th century and used as a prison for political prisoners in 1619. Today it reigns on its own private island as a medieval museum and the site of a Tauck Exclusive evening you'll long remember. Enjoy the keys to the castle during this special visit, exploring its 650-year history, strolling the grounds and taking in the views of the nature reserve and the castle during dinner for Tauck guests only.

Discovering Monet on an early-opening visit to his home and gardens in Giverny

Impressionist master Claude Monet arranged the compositions of his garden landscapes often by rearranging his garden. It was, after all, his outdoor studio. And since it's carefully maintained to look like it did during the painter's lifetime, you can sense what it was like to be present at the moment when life became art. Observe his water lilies in a book or a print – or even better, on canvas at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris – then experience them firsthand, where art becomes life, at his restored home and gardens in Giverny... where you'll enjoy a Tauck Exclusive early-opening visit to this remarkable place before the normal daily crowds appear.
