With Tauck, the extraordinary is made effortlessly.

Since 1925, Tauck has been delivering the best service in its steadfast commitment to making the most of your vacation time. Honored in Travel + Leisure World’s best awards for the last 25 years, Tauck has a proven track record of impeccable service.

Onboard

Tauck’s small ships allow you to experience the world in ways that larger ships can’t. Find the heart of the world by visiting unexplored coves, distant islands, and old-world villages. Ships are handpicked for your journey, with no more than 40-300 guests onboard, creating an intimate and specialized cruising experience. You can expect international and regional menus while onboard and a more casual menu if you’re feeling like grilled food instead. There’s water-view dining on every ship, with indoor and outdoor open-air seating you can choose from at every meal.

Onshore with Tauck

Exclusive experiences and well-timed shore excursions allow you to experience your destination in ways that most don’t get to. Get after-hours access to Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, see Antarctica through the eyes of naturalists, or visit a manor house in Malaga for sherry tasting and a private Andalucian horse show- the possibilities will amaze you! With an average of about 20 guests per tour group, you can be assured that your tours will be full of cultural immersion in a focused environment. You’ll find an excursion that fits your interests, whether that’s cooking with a French chef, hiking in Cinque Terre, riding with cowboys, or getting lunch with a Contessa. Your onshore experiences will give you memories for years to come!

From Our Clients...

Assistance every step of the way.

"Although I'm in Florida, Michael Teague assisted us every step of the way. From the beginning of the planning, through the coordinating with family members, getting excursions to fit different family members and even last minute changes to get the best out of this vacation, Michael has been key to us enjoying an amazing family (12) vacation. I will definitely seek him out again!"

Spectacular Shore Excursions

"Everything worked out even better than planned. On all three shore excursions we met people in the bus who said they appreciated those excursions and they were far better than the ones offered by the ship. We, too, were impressed with the quality of the excursions and tour guides. The cruise was spectacular and all the arrangements made in advance were spectacular."
– Jayne W. - Norwegian Cruise Line

Worry Free!

"You folks are incredible and your services outstanding! No one does it better."

– Robert C. - Celebrity Cruise, March 2023

Booking a Vacation is FUN!

"In today’s environment, booking vacations is hard. Why? There are a million and one websites out there that all have information on them. You can look at peer reviews until you are blue in the face. Is this ship really that bad? Is it the best thing ever? Is the resort awesome? Was it an isolated incident? Who knows. And sorting through all of them and figuring out what is real and what is somebody making a mountain out of a molehill takes time.

Which is where Theresa comes in. We love working with her for our vacations. It generally involves a quick phone call giving her a budget and the vibe we are looking for. And then go on an awesome vacation. No pecking through reviews and pricing that should be written in hieroglyphics. Just straight-up advice and no-nonsense planning.

Prior to using Theresa’s team, I would spend hours planning and routing and reading. Now? I pick the phone up or I email the awesome team and they take care of me and we get to enjoy our vacation. If you are booking a large group or an intimate vacation, I highly recommend Theresa and her team. Awesome to do business with and they make vacations FUN!"
