The best place to unwind after a day of adventures...

Whether you're looking to make a gala night ashore last just a little longer after your return to the riverboat, swap stories of the day's adventures, or enjoy a nightcap with new friends you just met at dinner, the lounge is a perfect place to kick back and relax.

Relax with fellow passengers on the Sun Deck

As you cruise, the riverboat's comfortable public spaces are ideal spots for socializing or simply relaxing as you glide past the remarkable scenery along Europe's rivers – meeting your shipmates for a cocktail, kicking back in the Jacuzzi or chatting as you bask in the sun.

There is never a dull moment on board ms Joy

As you cruise, the riverboat's comfortable public spaces are ideal spots for socializing – practice your putt on the on board putting green, kick back in the Jacuzzi with new friends or enjoy a cocktail as you glide past the remarkable scenery along Europe's rivers.

Wine and dine at The Compass Rose

Dine on fine, freshly prepared cuisine with regional wines and beer included at lunch and dinner onboard, with attentive, friendly service – plus regional treats and tastings – as you enjoy great views of the passing scenery in our panoramic main dining room The Compass Rose.

Your day starts with breakfast onboard… sharing your favorite table by the window with the couple you became friends with at your welcome dinner… enjoying your favorite buffet selections just the way you like them… The riverboat docks right around the time you're finished with breakfast; you couldn't have asked for better timing… As you step off the ship, our local experts eagerly await to show you around the ancient village they call home. Discover its Romanesque church, ancient square and winding cobblestone lanes, then for lunch, maybe sample the wares of that famous local sausage stand over there, next to the country's oldest stone bridge – or return to the riverboat for lunch onboard. Back aboard, you won't arrive at your next port of call for a while, so take some time and explore your "floating hotel." Or, decide to relax and chat with friends as you bask in the sun, sipping a cool drink. Refreshed, you head into the lobby just in time to watch the riverboat dock. The afternoon ashore offers you a choice: a tour and tasting at a private family-owned winery in the vineyard-covered hills along the river's banks, or an excursion to a privately owned palace in the same family for generations… For dinner, an elegant affair in a baroque castle… the centerpiece of a medieval Bohemian town. Walking to the venue, your Tauck Director and local guide fill you in on the history that surrounds you. Your jaw drops as you enter the magnificent castle; the couple you had breakfast with joins you, bringing along some new friends. You don't want it to end, but alas, it must… another Tauck experience to check off on the "wow" list… Returning to the riverboat, you meet your companions for a little more camaraderie around the piano in the lounge before calling it a night. Drifting off to sleep, you smile… realizing that you'll soon be waking up in another magical town… to embark on another perfect day of your Tauck river cruise…

History
Tauck has invested in more than 80 national parks, monuments and destinations the world over to better protect our planet – and preserve natural, historical and cultural destinations for generations to come. Destination grants include Mesa Verde, Grand Teton National Park Foundation, Civil War Trust, National Civil Rights Museum, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Jasper National Park, and Friends of Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris), Grand Pré National Historic Site (Nova Scotia), and Wilderness Safari Camps (Africa).

Going hand-in-hand with destination grants is our commitment to encourage and actively participate in volunteerism. Our commitment to destination preservation can be traced back to Arthur Tauck Jr's quiet donation to preserve the bell tower of the old North Church in Boston – a landmark visited by Tauck's very first guests in 1925 and countless thousands hence.

These efforts include Tauck's on-tour national park guest volunteer program that won a "Preserve America" presidential award. Additionally, hundreds of Tauck employees have participated in annual volunteer days in places like Valley Forge, Harper's Ferry, The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ellis island, Gettysburg National Military Park and more.
