Luxury escorted tours & river cruising

As a family-owned company with over 100 years' experience in luxury travel, Tauck has perfected the art of exploring the world in comfort, style and depth. While they're renowned for their superb European river cruises – since launching their first European river cruise on 1992, Tauck has been consistently recognised among the world's best luxury river cruise operators – Tauck’s escorted tours are equally celebrated, offering unique cultural insights, impeccable service, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences across all seven continents. 

Tauck escorted tours

Tauck’s escorted land tours offer deeply immersive travel experiences across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and South America. These expertly curated itineraries blend iconic sightseeing with exclusive, off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Every Tauck tour is led by a seasoned Tauck Director, supported by the finest local guides. Whether you're exploring Italy’s historic hill towns, the Canadian Rockies, or the wonders of Japan, you’ll enjoy seamless travel with exclusive experiences like private museum openings, hands-on cultural demonstrations and behind-the-scenes tours.

What's more, Tauck guests gain access to places others simply can't reach – from VIP events at royal residences to exclusive safaris in East Africa, and front-row seats at global festivals. And with every detail handled – from luggage service to airport transfers – you’re free to focus on the journey itself.

All-inclusive river cruising

When we say that Tauck’s river cruises are all-inclusive, we mean just that. Every river cruise expense is included in one upfront price, from gratuities to sumptuous fine dining and unlimited complimentary beverages onboard, including wine, beer and premium spirits. Meals are freshly prepared with the finest ingredients and feature dining inspired by the regions visited. Then there are the shore excursions, exclusively run for Tauck guests, who'll enjoy more experiences ashore than with any company on the world's waterways.

Unique tours, exclusive access

For each and every one of their itineraries, Tauck curates a range of unique and exclusive experiences designed to bring each destination to life, in truly spectacular style. As such, whether it's a hidden gem or a must-see sight, you can expect expert insight from experienced Tauck Directors and the most knowledgeable local guides, coupled with exclusive access not available to the public. Think nobility-hosted palace dinners, wine tastings at family-owned vineyards, early opening and after-hours visits to the Louvre, Giverny & more. 

For example, selected Danube cruises - including the ever-popular Blue Danube and Bavaria to Budapest cruises - include an exclusive, private Imperial evening at Vienna’s magnificent Baroque Palais Pallavicini, where you will be treated to cocktails, a lavish dinner and the unforgettable spectacle of beautiful ball gowns and a musical performance honouring Mozart.

The Tauck fleet

The Tauck fleet of custom-designed riverboats are inspired by the destinations they visit, and offer guests immersive, innovative and authentic travel experiences. Their ships also allow for greater cruising flexibility and provide the utmost in spaciousness and contemporary design with fewer guests on board. Indeed, with just 84 to 98 guests on their smaller riverboats and no more than 130 guests aboard their larger vessels, a dedicated Tauck Director for every 35 guests plus a Tauck Cruise Director, you'll enjoy thoughtful, personal service throughout.
