  • I need the answer to that too---also, how many passengers do these yacht like ships carry?
    Thanks, Marji
  • If you look up this trip here, on the Tauck site, you will find this in the print version of the trip:

Your ship has 132 staterooms and suites and 136 crewmembers. There is a maximum of 120 Tauck guests on board this yacht and a maximum of 264 guests total.

    Can't help you with the rough/calm factor. They are mostly coastal waters, though.

  • I just returned from the Iceland tour on Saturday. It is a fantastic tour and I would highly recommend it. The ship holds about 250 so it is small compared to the major cruise lines. There were approximately 100 Tauck travelers and we were divided into three groups. Each group did the same things but had staggered departing times.

    The seas were bascially calm. Some of us did have one queasy morning. The ship was heading toward Grimsey Island on the Arctic Circle and during the night it rocked quite a bit. It could have been the position in the ocean or just rough seas that night. In the morning I was slightly unbalanced when I tried to walk, but that only lasted a couple of hours and then I didn't have any more problems. The seas were smooth other than that one night. Even in the morning that I was not sure of my footing, the seas were calm.
