Our travel agent said Tauck was the Mercedes Benz of River Cruises. We were picked up in Amsterdam by a chauffeured Mercedes. I was expecting a small tour bus or van. We stayed in a loft room which we thought all in all had as much room as other rooms and more storage under the loft balcony.

I did not have to pull out my wallet except when we bought postcards etc from the small gift shop on board. When they say all inclusive they go so far as paying for the pay toilets on our excursions. I was impressed with our 3 on board tour directors who really helped out. We were at Heidelberg Castle with at least 2 other cruise lines and they were in total chaos trying to follow just one tour guide..

Food was excellent, service superb, nw ship was very clean. Travelers and there were many who said once you use Tauck it is difficult to use anyone else. Its true this was our first trip we up the Rhine and Moselle, we just signed up for the Blue Danube
