TAUCK has bolstered its river cruise portfolio for 2027 with five new European itineraries, released earlier than ever in the company’s history.
The tour operator will also welcome two new riverboats in that year – ms Saudade, sister ship to msAndorinha (pictured) on the Douro, and ms Reverie, sister ship to ms Serene on the Seine (CW 11 Sep).
Designed to meet evolving guest preferences, Tauck will introduce a new six-day river cruise format in late 2026, and will expand these shorter itineraries for 2027.
Offered mostly during the shoulder seasons, the journeys will allow guests to enjoy milder weather and fewer crowds along Europe’s most popular rivers, while making river cruising more accessible to travellers with tighter schedules.
The new collection of itineraries includes ‘Essence of the Seine’, a round trip from Paris debuting the launch of ms Reverie.
Guests can also join the ‘Essence of the Danube’ sailing between Budapest and Vienna aboard ms Joy, with departures in Oct and Nov.
“We’re seeing extraordinary growth across our river portfolio, and that inspires us to find new ways for guests to experience Tauck,” said Tauck Chief Executive Officer, Jennifer Tombaugh.
“River cruising continues to be one of the most popular ways to experience Tauck for the first time, and with these new shorter itineraries, we can now offer that exceptional entry point to guests with limited time.”
MD Australia, David Clark, added: “Our guests can now book these highly sought-after river cruises for 2027, providing earlier access than ever, which I know will be well received by the Australian market.”
In total, Tauck will offer 37 European river cruises in 2027. JM
