Redefining space and luxury on Europe's premier waterways. While typical 135-meter river vessels accommodate 190 passengers, Tauck's MS Joy and MS Inspire carry just 130 guests. Featuring twenty-two 300 sq ft Tauck Suites, eight innovative multi-level loft staterooms, Arthur's casual bistro, and private after-hours evening dinners in royal European palaces.
MS Joy's 300 sq ft Tauck Suites feature two French balconies, walk-in closets, marble bathrooms with double vanities and rainfall showers, and in-room Nespresso machines. Plus, Tauck guests enjoy private evening dinners with chamber orchestra performances in exclusive European palaces.
We work directly with luxury cruise executive desks to guarantee your reservation receives priority stateroom allocation, dining table selections, and bespoke shore excursions.
