Tauck: Where “Small is Big”

Maggie Blehert

Tauck has a loyal following of discerning travelers, now 95 years in the making. Tauck places a singular focus on the satisfaction of its guests, and it shows: the travel company has been named to Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best” list for 23 consecutive years. Tauck’s deep, longstanding relationships with travel partners around the globe ensures incomparable travel experiences in hundreds of destinations.

Tauck offers a variety of tours and cruises enabling travelers to visit all seven continents: land tours, small group journeys, river cruises, small ship cruises and family journeys. Each one is a fully-guided experience, seamlessly orchestrated and with everything included. Many Cruise Specialists clients who choose Tauck do so because everything is covered up front.

Tauck River Cruises explore Europe’s great waterways on all-inclusive, intimate riverboats, with exclusive cultural experiences onshore. Explore the heart of Europe on the Rhine or Danube. Or, go country-specific with a river cruise through France or Portugal. You’ll be immersed in medieval villages and gracious cities, enjoying art, cuisine and history through a blend of thoughtfully planned and meticulously designed experiences. Tauck river cruises feature uncommon access to local culture to help you experience a true slice of European life. For example, in Prague, an included exclusive experience takes guests for a private aperitif and dinner at Lobkowicz Palace, Prague Castle.

Tauck Small Ship Cruising enables inquisitive travelers to seek out some of the world’s most beautiful ports of call, visiting hidden harbors where bigger ships can’t go. From a small ship cultural journey to a thrilling wildlife adventure on board a luxury expedition ship, you will enjoy spontaneous discoveries, make personal connections and gather unforgettable memories.

We’re also excited about Tauck Bridges family tours. Increasingly popular with multi-generational families or as skip-gen trips (vacations with grandparents and grandchildren, without the parents), these trips open young eyes to a world of adventures and new ideas, they go the distance to build relationships and strengthen family ties.

Traveling with Peace of Mind

Tauck’s commitment to earning your trust is based on a commitment to doing the right thing. Tauck’s extensive experience, local knowledge and global support network is key to ensuring your safety on every Tauck journey. Building upon the bedrock of 95 years in the business, the company is working with leading experts and following guidance from the CDC and WHO, together with an internal Global Response Team and feedback from thousands of guests, to redefine how they will conduct their experiences as travel resumes. Tauck promises to follow enhanced protocols with diligence and will review frequently as the landscape changes. With requirements and guidelines varying widely, check with us at Cruise Specialists for the latest information that Tauck is providing.

For many years, Tauck has emphasized and invested in more choices of activities, resulting in smaller groups for activities such as events and sightseeing. Tauck initially focused on these elements to improve the guest experience. Yet today they take on an additional dimension; small group experiences and more personal space are critical in providing the peace of mind their guests expect. Tauck is  offering even more small group experiences and limiting guest numbers across all their journeys.
