MY ADVENTURES

Tauck River Image HERO This was my first ever river cruise and Tauck set the bar pretty high!

The itinerary was something that they normally do not do as it was three rivers, Rhine, Main, and Rhone.  We flew into Munich and stayed one night at the Tauck pre-night hotel, Vier Jahreszeiten.  It is an elegant old Victorian style hotel and right in the middle of Munich.  What a beautiful city!

A Tauck inclusion on all of their sailing, are transfers roundtrip whether you stay at their properties or you are doing something on your own. 

We were welcomed aboard the Savor with a glass of campaign and introduction to the staff.  One important thing to note is, all beverages including alcohol are included.  Anytime and where and free room service.  Not all river cruise companies include these options.

All staff spoke very good English and was very courteous.  I have to say the food was excellent and it is open seating for every meal.  You could sit by yourself or sit with others during the designated dining times.  They always had a salad bar, breakfast or lunch bar or you could order off the menu.  The Menu changed every day with many entrée choices and they also had pasta, steak, and chicken options for people that don’t eat out of their comfort zone.

The ship itself was elegant and had a small gym, spa, sauna, steam room, and large hot tub, which most other cruise lines do not have.  Our stateroom was a cat. 6, we didn’t have a balcony, there are no balconies but the windows were floor to ceiling across the entire width of the room.   You could open the drapes, lie on your bed (because it faced the window), and see everything that passed by.  There was a section of the window that did slide open so you could get fresh air and listen and watch the beautiful scenery.

One of the things I noticed when we were on tours in the cities, Tauck’ s groups were like 10 people versus other river cruise companies had 30. The included tours were wonderful and there were always two options in each port, no up charging!

 The guests on this sailing were between 65 and 80 years old but I can see it appealing to younger couples especially if they are traveling with friends. 

 I can’t say enough about Tauck and the wonder experience that I had.  I am ready to go again!
