Tauck's Riverboats


Wake up to a new port of call every day as your “floating hotel” travels with you along Europe’s inland waterways, and experience the joys of cruising by riverboat – with the Tauck Difference:
  • Tauck’s MV Swiss Emerald (launched in 2006), MV Swiss Sapphire (christened in 2008) and MV Swiss Jewel (entering service in 2009) are the newest riverboat fleet in Europe
  • Unlike other similar-size riverboats carrying up to 140 passengers, Tauck’s river-cruising fleet welcomes just 118 guests on each vessel for a club-like atmosphere with no crowds
  • Each riverboat boasts 14 luxurious 300-square-foot suites with marble baths and 7 junior suites – more than four times as many suites as most other riverboats
  • Floor-to-ceiling windows and French balconies grace 85% of our cabins
  • All cabins feature plush bathrobes, slippers and L’OCCITANE amenities
  • In-cabin breakfast service is available in select cabin categories
  • All on-board meals are included with complimentary wine at dinner
  • Open dining is at tables for 4 or 6 with no assigned seats
  • Alternative bistro dining featuring lighter fare is offered in the river-view Lido Bar
  • Dine ashore with included meals featuring regional cuisine and a variety of dining styles, including à la carte, at local restaurants
  • On-board Fitness Center and a 24-hour whirlpool on Sun Deck
  • Nightly piano music in the Lounge for listening or dancing
  • Take in insightful destination lectures, musical entertainment and folkloric performances aboard
  • All shore excursions are included, with a choice of sightseeing in many cities
Cruise aboard three of Europe’s finest riverboats, Swiss Emerald, Swiss Sapphire or Swiss Jewel, and enjoy tastefully appointed river-view cabins equipped with color TV, mini-bar, radio, safe, hair dryer, air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower.

View the ever-changing river landscapes from the Sun Deck or explore a new destination on an included shore excursion during the day. Dine with a choice of menus, including vegetarian dishes, and special theme dinners in the spacious restaurant or choose Tauck’s alternative bistro dining. Sip a cocktail in the Lounge while the on-board pianist plays for your pleasure in the evening.

A Tauck Cruise Director and three Tauck Directors welcome guests to a riverboat cruising experience enhanced with personalized attention and gracious service to ensure a most memorable vacation.
