River cruise line · 8 ships · sailing 1 regions — More space, fewer guests, everything included.
Luxury, fully all-inclusive river cruising from Tauck, a family-run American touring company in business since 1925. Its Inspiration Class riverboats deliberately carry fewer guests than rivals on the same-size hull, and the fare bundles every excursion, gratuity and transfer, with expert Tauck Directors guiding the journey.
Travellers who want a guided, worry-free trip with more elbow room and no bills to settle onboard. It is especially strong for multigenerational families thanks to dedicated Tauck Bridges family departures, and for repeat guests who value Tauck's long touring pedigree.
Six European riverboats: the Inspiration Class ms Joy, ms Savor, ms Grace and ms Inspire on the Rhine and Danube, plus ms Sapphire and ms Emerald in France. Each roughly 135m/443ft ship carries about 130 guests despite hulls built for up to 190, giving among the most space per guest on Europe's rivers, with cabins spread across three decks.
The standout vessels in the fleet — and the amenities that set them apart.
Inspiration Class riverboat
Inspiration Class sister to ms Joy; the class debuted in 2014
A main restaurant plus a more intimate alternative venue and casual bistro dining, with regional menus and wine, beer and soft drinks included at lunch and dinner.
Understated and enrichment-led: local performers, lectures and destination insight from Tauck Directors (roughly one Director per 40 guests plus a cruise director) rather than production shows.
A genuine family option via Tauck Bridges, dedicated multigenerational departures with kid-friendly activities and extra Tauck Directors; suites include sofa beds that sleep up to two children.
Fully all-inclusive: all shore excursions and tours, all gratuities (onboard and ashore), airport transfers, Wi-Fi and beverages including wine with dinner are covered, and tipping is neither expected nor required.
