Reserve your preferred dates now! Small is Big. Why Tauck Small Ship Cruising?
Uncommon Access and Experiences Come aboard our small ship cruises and immerse in a voyage of discovery unlike any other. Because of their size, our yachts and expeditionary vessels are not restricted to commercial routes or large ports so we’re free to navigate island shores and hidden harbors where bigger ships can’t go. Leave the lines and your cares behind as you disembark for a choice of privately guided excursions and exclusive Tauck experiences in must-see places only open to our guests.
Fully Guided by Expert Tauck Directors Travel with our professional Tauck Directors, averaging over 10 years of service. By your side both onboard and ashore, they’re more than just your guide. They’re your planning expert. Your helping hand. Your fellow globetrotter. The difference between a trip, and the trip of a lifetime.
Sophisticated, Intimate Ambiance Venture out on a ship handpicked for your journey, with no more than 40 to 300 guests. Make yourself comfortable, settling into a stateroom with a spectacular view or steal away to the top deck for an evening under the stars. Meet new friends as you explore the sites in small groups expertly choreographed by Tauck, sharing magical moments and a special kinship with like-minded travelers.
All-Inclusive Travel effortlessly, knowing that every aspect of the trip is already paid for in one upfront price – from shore excursions and hotel stays to gratuities and more, with no hidden fees or surprise added expenses. Everything you need to experience the best of land and sea is included with Tauck.
3 CULTURAL JOURNEYS Our culturally inspired cruises aboard a fleet of small ships handpicked for the destination offer guests a choice of included experiences in historic port cities and island harbors from Asia to Europe to Latin America, North America and the lands Down Under. They indulge with comforts personally delivered, reward with authentic connections unique to Tauck, and engage with welcome camaraderie aboard and ashore.
