For more than a century, Tauck has built a reputation for delivering journeys that are seamless, inspiring and rich in detail. And nowhere is this commitment more evident than in Tauck’s Small Ship Cruises, where every moment at sea feels crafted, not crowded.
Travellers step aboard vessels that carry far fewer guests than mainstream cruise ships, creating an intimate atmosphere and a sense of space.
The smaller scale also unlocks access to ports and harbours that larger ships cannot reach, meaning guests can explore tucked-away treasures in the Greek Isles, glide deep into the fjords of Norway, or sail into the heart of charming Mediterranean towns.

Life onboard is as effortless as it is luxurious. Tauck’s cruises are all-inclusive, covering fine dining, unlimited beverages, gratuities, shore excursions, transfers, luggage handling and even Wi-Fi.
Guests never need to reach for their wallet or worry about surprise costs, instead they can simply relax and enjoy the journey.

But it’s ashore where Tauck’s difference shines brightest. Each itinerary is designed with exclusive experiences guests won’t find anywhere else – perhaps a private after-hours tour of a landmark, an intimate tasting with a local winemaker, or a cultural performance created just for Tauck travellers. These special touches create memories that linger long after the voyage has ended.
Guiding every journey is a dedicated team of Tauck Directors, professionals who anticipate every detail and bring destinations to life with insider knowledge. They foster a spirit of camaraderie among guests, making it feel as though you are travelling with a trusted friend who knows every secret doorway.
From sun-drenched Mediterranean coastlines to the icy wonderlands of Antarctica and Iceland, Tauck Small Ship Cruises combine iconic highlights with rare discoveries. Guests choose Tauck not just for where they will go, but for how they will feel along the way: cared for, inspired and part of something truly extraordinary.
