[denatravels]

Booked for next summer-- super excited! Would love to see some documentation from prior tauck Rhine or Rhine/Moselle trips (daily schedules, menus, etc). Searching gave me nothing.

Thanks!

We're on the August 1 river cruise and haven't been able to find much information. I hope someone answers you.

We are booked next May (2018) on the Tauck Seine plus Versailles, Paris and London cruise. Posted a similar request for info yet have not received much info. Perhaps we can post reviews and share experiences for each other. There are a few videos on the web, but not a lot.

Me, too!! But if they don't before you go, perhaps you can when you return.

We did a Rhine River cruise with Tauck a year ago and have a Danube River cruise next month and a Rhone River cruise already booked for 2018. All I can tell you is that in general Tauck passengers tend not to post and if they do it is a general comment. As far as answering your questions the schedule is very changeable and not really determined until the night before arrival in a port/city. For example we were to start our cruise in Basel, but the water level was too high and too fast so the boat was unable to get to Basel. Tauck met us at the hotel as planned, but had to drive us about 30 miles south to Strasbourg where the boat was able to dock. In general you can expect an excursion in the morning and again in the afternoon depending on the general Tauck schedule. The menu changes all the time. In early May on our first cruise,asparagus were in season, so we had a number of asparagus options daily Breakfast and lunch had buffet options, but there were also menu options that could be ordered if you want to take more time. Dinner was always preceded by a cocktail hour in the lounge with hot/cold horderves and a daily briefing, hoderve choices were served with drinks. Dinner consisted of a variety of appetizers, soup and salad choices, several main course options, and desert. After dinner some simple form of entertainment was offered along with complimentary drinks in the lounge. One of the best features of Tauck River trip was that nothing was ever over crowded!

 

Perhaps the best advice I can give is that Tauck River cruises are very peaceful and extremely well orchestrated. If you are a type A personality, and need to know what is going to happen every minute of every day, you are on the wrong trip. But if you can sit back and let things happen without a care in the world you will love this experience.

 

As you can tell, we love the Tauck experience! Having every expense taken care of before you leave home adds tremendously to enjoying the trip! I would also recommend using the trip forums on the Tauck web site for your itinerary as the best place to ask questions, however even here you will find Tauck guest much more reserved about communicating.

 

Hope each of you have a great cruise!

Tauck question for you. We are on the June 26 Amsterdam to Budapest cruise

 

Is the dress code for dinner different in the casual dining venue on the ship?

Yes, the same throughout the ship. As far as I know they only suggest a jacket at specialty dinner meals off the ship and at the final captains dinner (but not required). Only dress not allowed were tee shirts and shorts in the dinning room. On our Rhine cruise men wore jackets, but many did not wear a tie. Most men wore nice slacks and a collared shirt for dinner most nights. ABSOLUTELY NO SUITES OR FORMAL WEAR!

Just noticed there was a great photo essay this week in USA Today on Tauck river boat updates with great pictures of food in the dinning room. If you Google "USA today Tauck River boat updates" you should find the story.
