Tauck Partners with Luxury Cruise Line for Cruises to Canada

For those who prefer a luxury small ship ocean cruise experience but don’t want to travel thousands of miles to do it, Tauck Canada and New England cruises are perfect.

Tauck will begin small ship ocean cruises between New York City and Quebec City aboard the Silversea small ship Silver Shadow starting in Fall 2023. This is the company’s newest foray into cruising North America and continuing its partnership with Silversea.

Tauck Canada and New England Cruises

Tauck’s newest itinerary is a 13-day “Shores of Eastern Canada and New England” cruise. In total, there will be three Manhattan to Quebec City cruises plus three southbound reversals in September and October of 2023. 

The new Tauck Canada New England cruises begin with an included overnight hotel stay at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The next day is a guided sightseeing tour in Manhattan.

Embarkation for Silver Shadow is in the afternoon and then begins the 10-night cruise to Quebec City. Along the voyage, ports of call include: Newport, Rhode Island; Boston, Mass.; Bar Harbor, Maine; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; and Saguenay, Quebec before arriving in Quebec City.

In Quebec City, passengers are treated to a city sightseeing excursion followed by a tour to the pastoral island Ile d’Orleans and to see stunning Montmorency Falls. After checking in at Quebec City’s famous Chateau Frontenac for one night, Tauck will hold a farewell reception and dinner. 

Why Cruise with Tauck?

Although Tauck’s guests will be sharing time aboard Silver Shadow with Silversea’s non-Tauck passengers, the Tauck guests will enjoy a markedly different experience.

According to CEO Mahar, “Silversea does an incredible job, and we’re thrilled to partner with them on this journey,” said Mahar, “yet we like to think we’re bringing something extra to the table for our Tauck guests. “We take great pride in our ability to reveal the culture and history of a destination, and each of our shore excursions are Tauck-exclusive experiences typically led by our local guides in tandem with our own Tauck Director guides.”

What’s different is that the Tauck Canada New England cruise package includes hotel stays and sightseeing in Manhattan and Quebec City in its pricing.

In addition, Tauck offers 100% of its shore excursions at no additional charge. Silversea includes only a selection of shore excursions in its prices.

Tauck’s shore excursions are designed and operated exclusively by the company, and Tauck Director Guides also see to the onboard and onshore needs of Tauck’s guests throughout the trip, added Mahar.

Great Lakes Cruises from Chicago to Toronto

Currently, Tauck offers their “Cruising the Great Lakes:  Chicago to Toronto” itinerary. After a full day and night in Chicago, the small ship heads for Milwaukee, Wisconsin before crossing Lake Michigan to the Holland and Saugatuck area in Michigan.

From there, the ship heads north to Traverse City, a full day at Mackinac Island, then southbound on Lake Huron to Detroit, Michigan. An amazing passage through the Welland Canal leads into Lake Erie until reaching Toronto. 

And there’s still time for a visit to Niagara Falls and an overnight in Toronto before ending the cruise.

North to Alaska

Unknown to quite a few people who want a small ship cruise to Alaska and time to explore the heart of Alaska, Tauck has two options. The first Alaska cruise option is a 10-day one-way between Vancouver, B.C. and Anchorage, AK, or reverse.

The second option begins in Anchorage with 5 days to explore the heart of Alaska before boarding your ship for the southbound voyage to Vancover, B.C. 

The new Tauck Canada New England cruises expands the company’s footprint into more of North America, in addition to their already-popular luxury land tours.

• The islands featured on Tauck’s Canadian Maritimes trip, particularly Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, are some of the most scenic – yet remote – destinations in Canada. The hotels included on this trip, such as the Keltic Lodge and Liscombe Lodge, were primarily selected for their location; they put guests right in the heart of the best places to visit. Seasonal travel in the Canadian Maritimes means that a few of your accommodations on this trip will not compare to Tauck’s hotels in other locations. We find – and expect you will find – that these hotels provide exceptional access to remote scenic treasures of the Maritimes, despite a few inconsistencies with the standards of other Tauck accommodations.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Enhanced Covid Health Protocols

Tauck Care and Global Response

Keeping our guests safe and secure has always been of paramount importance at Tauck. While we cannot predict or prevent events outside of our control, we have learned to expect the unexpected. In fact, we've planned for it and have safeguards, protocols and teams in place to deal with any eventualities. You'll travel with a comprehensive, built-in support system that starts with the care and local knowledge of our Tauck Directors and extends to our network of partners around the world, including hoteliers and transportation companies.

Our Global Response Team stands ready to respond to situations around the world. Over the past two decades, they have successfully led us through a variety of challenges around the world, from weather events, high and low water on rivers, work stoppages and more. We are well prepared for Covid. We provide assurance and comfort in knowing that help is readily available if and when it's ever needed.

Land Journeys:

Tauck has worked closely with our supplier partners around the world to deliver the comfort and safety you expect. The following are just some of the enhanced protocols we have put in place for Covid to provide you with the peace of mind you expect:

We are limiting guests numbers across all of our journeys

• Upon arrival, health questionnaires and temperature checks may be required

• Guest can expect to wear face coverings in group settings and when mandated by our suppliers and governments

•  Proper physical distancing will be implemented on motor coaches, during dining and sightseeing

•  High-touch areas in hotels and on-tour transportation, including motor coaches, will undergo enhanced cleaning

These protocols may vary by destination and will evolve over time. Please check for the latest updates at tauck.com/travel-updates

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Specific Luggage Restrictions for this Tour

Due to strictly enforced weight restrictions, checked luggage weight must not exceed 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm). Luggage exceeding the allowable weight is subject to excess luggage charges which can result in a considerable additional expense. Guests are permitted to only 1 piece of checked luggage. Hand luggage may not weigh more than 15 lbs (6.8 kg), and the maximum dimensions are 20 x 15 x 10" (50.8 x 38.1 x 25.4cm) (including all wheels, handles, etc). If these dimensions are exceeded, the carry-on may be checked at the gate. Airport regulations require that passengers handle their own luggage through customs.

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

VACCINATIONS

If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally,  no vaccinations are currently required for entry into Australia; however, an International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever is required when entering Australia if you arrive from an infected area within 5 days. For complete vaccination information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. You may also log on to the CDC Internet website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally , please contact an embassy or consulate of Australia to determine what vaccinations may be required for your travel.

You should be in good health and able to walk moderate to significant distances over varied terrain. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. Pack sturdy, comfortable walking shoes that have already been broken-in in order to appreciate fully the challenging terrain of the beaches, rainforests and outback.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey.  Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

Airline Disinsection

Please check with your carrier or the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) guidance letter that requires airlines and travel agents to disclose to consumers countries that require the use of insecticides by airlines. Please click  here for more information.

Weather and Travel Gear

The seasons in Australia are opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. During the months of October through May, temperatures typically average 70-90 ºF (21-32 ºC) in Australia. During the months of June through September, temperatures average 40-60 ºF (4-16 ºC) in Australia. In Northern Australia, you will find tropical weather all year round.

To determine current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, noaa.gov , by clicking here.

The 2024 Men’s Health Travel Awards

The absolute best places for adventure, recovery, and relaxation.

THERE'S A WHOLE big world out there. With only so much time to explore it—even less if we're talking just vacation time—where do you go? Maybe you're into meditative retreats with morning yoga sessions, plant-based dining, and nightly aura cleanses. Or maybe snowboarding, mountain-biking, or free-climbing is more your thing. Or, perhaps, you're looking for something more vacation vacation—toes in the sand; a cold drink in hand. Whatever you're into, we got you.

Our expert team of editors and Men's Health advisors spent the last twelve months researching dozens of destinations, accommodations, and tours. We visited every one and narrowed our favorites into three categories— Active, Recovery, and Relax —so you can find the experiences that work for you.

Pack up. Ship out. This is the 2024 Men's Health Travel Awards.

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

This hotel doubles as a base camp for aquatic adventures. Book lessons in heenalu , the Hawaiian technique of board sliding. Or sign up for SUP or outrigger-canoe excursions. Your cooldown is nearby Hanauma Bay for a snorkel or swim.

Tetherow Hotel

Set in the high desert, this resort gives off Good Life vibes. Lap-swim in a heated outdoor pool onsite, or mountain bike, rock climb, and river raft nearby. Can’t drive ten minutes to downtown Bend? Tetherow also has three restaurants.

Montage Big Sky

At this resort just 50 miles from Yellowstone, winter brings skiing, naturally, but also fat-tire biking and a private tubing hill. Summer is whitewater rafting, a 72-par golf course 7,000 feet above sea level, and fly-tying workshops that lead to hauls of rainbow trout.

Conservatorium Hotel

First a 19th bank, then a music school, it's since been converted into a sharp designer hotel. The luxe, glass-enclosed lobby hints at the long list of high-brow amenities you'll find here—including gourmet room service and a stunning spa—all within steps of the city's best sites. However, its main attraction is the 1,615 square feet gym (one of the biggest in the city) that's loaded with Technogym equipment and Therabody recovery gear.

The Ranch Hudson Valley

Surrounded by 200 private acres less than an hour from NYC, this ultra-luxe retreat focuses on rebooting your health with an ass-kicking fitness regimen and a structured, plant-based diet. Morning hikes, afternoon strength training, yoga, and professional massage are all on the daily agenda.

Signia By Hilton Atlanta

Newly opened in January of 2024, this towering, 900-plus-room hotel sits directly across from Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Active guests have access to a massive, tech-forward gym and almost a dozen "wellness" rooms loaded with MH -approved fitness gear.

AutoCamp Zion

The latest outpost in AutoCamp's catalog of Airstream "hotels" offers immediate access to the iconic Zion National Park with loads of best-in-the-US hiking trails nearby. Bonus: The on-site pool offers a welcome respite from Utah's scorching summer heat.

Gravity Haus Jackson Hole

Located at the foot of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, this adventure-minded hotel offers direct access to some of the country's best skiing. With on-site gear rentals, a swanky restaurant, a heated outdoor pool, and a fitness and recovery center, it's also the perfect base for exploring Grand Teton National Park too.

Hotel Hartness

Situated on 180 acres of preserved green space, this stunning French Revival-style mansion is one of South Carolina's newest and most elegant boutique hotels. Steps from the front door are 15 miles of private hiking trails and easy access to the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. Pro tip: Check out the swanky on-site bar with a solid mocktail menu.

More than "just a place to crash," every hotel in this series of adventure-minded outposts with locations across the U.S. serves as the perfect base camp for hiking, skiing, surfing, mountain biking, and more. Think: On-site rentals, gear lockers, roaring campfires, and local craft beers—all in a dog-friendly atmosphere.

Our go-to expedition cruise line just keeps getting better. Its two all-new polar-class ships explore the world's most remote destinations (think Antarctica and the Arctic Circle) in a category of comfort, luxury, and elegance that no other adventure cruise can touch.

Tauck's all-new Small Group Tours are purpose-built for anyone who hates typical travel tours. These boutique trips guide adventure-minded travelers to Switzerland, Africa, Yellowstone, and everywhere in between—all with no more than 15 guests.

Wilderness Travel

No matter how hardcore you like your adventures, this boutique tour outfit has you covered. Explore the most epic, bucket-list-worthy destinations: Walking safaris in Zambia, tracking snow leopards through the mountains of India, trekking the best of Patagonia, and more.

Windstar Cruises

Ditch the "floating city" vibe of most mega-cruise ships for a more intimate and boutique sailing. From Canada to Latin America to the South Pacific, Windstar's powered yachts and sailing ships travel pretty much anywhere you can dream of.

Dornoch Station

Amid the country's sandy coastline and rolling, castle-dotted hills, Marine & Lawn's Dornoch Station is a picture-perfect Scottish Highlands golf getaway. From the stately, elegant interior fit for gentlemen, guests are just steps from world-class rounds at the Royal Dornoch Golf Club.

The Virginian Lodge

This sister property to Outbound Hotels' Mammoth Lakes outpost is a renovated retro-mod motel with a campy, Wes Anderson film vibe that just works . Amid Jackson's sky-high accommodations, this is a surprisingly affordable, vintage alternative minutes from everything the area is known for.

Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll

Located in Iceland's rugged and remote central Highlands, this sister property to the iconic Blue Lagoon Retreat looks, feels, and is worlds away from the country's well-worn tourist trail. For hearty travelers who appreciate solitude, adventure, and austere beauty, it offers all three in spades.

True to the brand's trademark vibe, Moxy Banff is bold, artsy, and playful with a midcentury modern aesthetic that pulls heavy inspiration from the area's well-known ski culture. Don't miss: All-day eats from a restored 1966 VW Kombi food truck.

Blackberry Mountain

This 5,200-acre retreat’s on-site Recovery Lab offers weightless compression, assisted stretching, and Therabody sessions. Its spa features CBD massage and clay wraps. Or you can just find a chair, watch the mist roll by, and breathe deep.

The colossal spa here has treatments that run from deep tissue to a Thai massage combining compression with yoga-like moves. It also offers sound baths, breath work, and sleep sessions with an in-house mindfulness team (yes, that's a real thing).

Six Senses Kyoto

Six Senses combines Zen gardens and Shodo calligraphy workshops with next-gen spa treatments that use smart tech to ease pain and release tension. There’s also aerial yoga, meditation, and guided runs around the city.

Thompson Houston, by Hyatt

With a sleek, shimmering façade, this new 36-story highrise offers panoramic views of the Houston skyline. Step outside for a stroll through the adjacent 160-acre park, or hit up the rooftop infinity pool or whole-floor spa for some daytime Zen without leaving the property.

La Coralina Island House

Tucked between a private, adults-only beach and Panama's wildlife-rich jungle, La Coralina is a welcome respite for relaxation-seeking travelers. The location alone is reason to come, but the all-new series of yoga, meditation, and wellness retreats is reason to stay a while.

The Westin Washington, DC Downtown

Centrally located near DC's best tourist sites, the newly renovated Westin feels worlds away. With a 10,000-square-foot fitness center and Root & Vine restaurant, there are plenty of ways to unwind after a full day of exploring the capital city.

Zel Mallorca

This all-new hotel was designed in partnership with tennis legend Rafael Nadal to bring a modern beach aesthetic and breezy Mediterranean vibe to Mallorca. Earth tones, palm-lined common areas, and soft linen furnishings abound, and every room is designed for maximum ocean viewing.

Waldorf Astoria Chicago

True to the iconic WA brand, this Chicago outpost stands out even amid the city's equally iconic architecture. From the marble-heavy lobby to the sprawling French-style courtyard to the over-the-top suites, it's a posh, luxe respite from the hustle of the Windy City.

Hoshinoya Bali

The brand's first retreat outside of Japan is an absolute stunner with just 30 private villas, interconnected by a patchwork of Zen-like gardens and swimming pool "hallways." Every inch of this exclusive luxe resort exudes pure ahhhhh ...

Hotel Arts Barcelona

With massive flower displays, beautiful guests, and luxurious furnishings dotting every common area, this Barcelona hotel oozes relaxed, cosmopolitan luxury. Everything from the designer toiletries to the two-Michelin-Star restaurant to the stunning views makes the sky-high nightly rates here worth the price of admission.

The Riviera Maya Edition at Kanai

The first Edition hotel in Latin America is a study in sexy, modern luxury—all set on a 620-acre nature preserve. Inside, the vibe is like "posh Euro disco" meets "relaxed Mexican retreat," and it somehow all just works . Plus, its tranquil spa—replete with a sauna, three pools, and detached massage rooms—is one of the best in Quintana Roo.

Virgin Hotels New York City

Virgin brings its unique brand of bold, rock-n-roll hotel design to NYC's trendy NoMad neighborhood. The whole-floor gym and new Exhale Spa might make you never want to leave. If you do, the 40-story high-rise is centrally located to Penn Station, the Empire State Building, and much, much more.

Lido Beach Resort

Head inland for laid-back shopping or flamingo spotting at Sarasota Jungle Gardens. Or don’t and hop between the hotel’s two gulf-front pools, the seafood-heavy Drift Kitchen & Bar, and cocktails at the tiki lounge.

The Resort at Pelican Hill

If golf/pool/dinner sounds right, this spot has all of that. Thirty-six holes skirting the Pacific. One massive, 380,000-gallon coliseum-shaped pool. Two sit-down dining options. This is the life well lived.

Holland America Line

Basketball courts, 24-hour room service, pickleball , a fitness studio—and that’s just the onboard fun. With more than ten itineraries dropping in 2024, Holland America Line now spans the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and Japan.

Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina

With world-class hiking, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, and spa'ing, Scrub Island might be the best Caribbean Island you've never heard of. Its namesake resort offers it all in ultra-relaxed, private surroundings worthy of a luxurious honeymoon getaway.

The Vintages Trailer Resort

Tucked into Oregon's famed Willamette Valley is this funky "neighborhood" of 36 renovated Airstream trailers. It's equal parts "vintage adult campground" and "oh-to-be-a-kid-again" getaway, complete with an on-site pool, lawn games, and easy access to the area's best vineyards.

Wynn Las Vegas

Even amid the absurd opulence of Sin City, the 2,700-plus-room Wynn stands out. With more than 15 restaurants, high-end boutique shops, a sprawling esplanade, and the world-class XS Nightclub, there's a whole lot more to do here than just slots and sportsbook betting.

Hotel Distil, Autograph Collection

Tucked into Downtown Louisville's famed Whiskey Row, this handsome, five-star hotel pays homage to the city's roots with a healthy dash of modernity. It's a quick walk to the Ohio River, or stay in and relax at the glass-topped rooftop bar, Repeal Oak-Fired Steakhouse, or your own riverview suite.

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel

Following a massive renovation, this oceanfront hotel offers a unique blend of luxury and character—a rarity in South Beach, especially at this price point. The combination makes it the perfect basecamp for hard-partying "guy trips" to Southern Florida's most famous destination.

Wequassett Resort and Golf Club

Bright, breezy, and just the right amount of classic New England charm, this five-star resort offers everything you'd ever want in a picture-perfect Cape Cod escape. You'll find on-site tennis courts, world-class beaches, and cozy cottages, many with gas fireplaces, marble bathrooms, and stunning ocean views.

Big Cedar Lodge

This all-American resort offers rustic luxury in the heart of the Ozarks. You'll find everything you need for a textbook "guy's getaway," including bowling alleys, arcades, tons of dining options, and a brand-new outdoor concert venue.

Wyndham Grand Krakow Old Town

On a bustling strip just steps from Krakow's town center, this upscale hotel blends old and new. It offers sleek rooms, a glass-enclosed cafe, an on-site spa, and an indoor pool.

Four Seasons Baltimore

Baltimore's Four Seasons is an easy standout among the city's myriad accommodations. The 256-room tower houses posh guestrooms, a luxurious restaurant, and an infinity pool with a sundeck and outdoor grill. Pro tip: The harbor-view balcony rooms are worth the upgrade.

The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa

One of HHI's largest resorts, this upscale, 416-room retreat boasts a tennis club, tons of oceanview rooms, world-famous golfing, and is steps from some of the country's best beaches. Golf, swim, rinse, repeat ...

The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad

Somehow this R-C outpost manages to stand out, even amid NYC's red-hot NoMad district. It's within walking distance of the city's most famous attractions and locals-only neighborhoods, all while maintaining the brand's signature, cool-as-a-cucumber flavor of relaxed luxury inside.

Hotel Norman Paris

With easy access to the Champs-Élysées and guest suites with Eiffel Tower views, this swanky boutique hotel is about as sexy as it gets for travelers to the City of Light. Inside, the vibe is all "cozy Parisian escape" with velvet curtains, vintage sofas, and a library lounge that supplants the typical hotel reception desk.

Nobu Hotel Los Cabos

With a deft blend of Japanese minimalism and elegant, Pacific-inspired accents, there's beauty in the simplicity of Nobu's Los Cabos outpost. Palm trees, private plunge pools, and floating daybeds abound here, with a clear focus on rest, relaxation, and restoration.

JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco

After undergoing a massive renovation, JW Marriott's MC property delivers an expected class of branded luxury in the city's swanky Polanco District. The interior is replete with luxury accommodations, including a rooftop pool, pillowtop mattresses, 24-hour room service, and a warm, tasteful design that's heavy on dark wood, plush carpeting, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The best resorts in the Rockies will be waiting at days end, ensuring relaxation and rejuvenation with a view so you are able to get up and do it all again the next day.

Jasper national park, alberta, in the heart of alberta's wilderness... jasper national park.

Home to some of the most breathtaking wilderness in the Canadian Rockies – waterfalls, canyons, crystal lakes and stunning mountain peaks – Canada's Jasper National Park in Alberta has been designated by UNESCO as one of the most significant natural locations on the planet… and with Tauck, you'll stay two nights in the heart of it at a wilderness lodge.

Lake Louise, Alberta

Lake louise... an emerald gem in banff national park.

A strikingly photogenic, emerald-colored lake in Alberta's Banff National Park, shimmering Lake Louise is surrounded by dense forests, soaring mountain peaks, and majestic Victoria Glacier. Built in the 1890s to attract wealthy travelers to the Canadian Rockies, the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise along her shores is recognized globally for an enduring tradition of hospitality excellence along with progressive environmental stewardship and responsible tourism. Endless outdoor recreational activities including hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, mountain biking and river rafting.

Banff National Park, Alberta

The treasures of canada's first national park.

One of Canada's first great railway hotels, this grand resort, styled after a Scottish baronial castle, first opened in 1888 as one of the world's most luxurious mountain getaways – and remains an enduring symbol of Canadian hospitality.

Distinctively Inclusive

Discover the all-inclusive value of the Tauck River Cruising experience... with one upfront price and virtually every river cruise expense included

You Get What You Pay For... And Then Some...

When Arthur Tauck Sr. founded our travel company in 1925, he made a promise to our guests: to include virtually every vacation expense in one upfront price so that everyone could have a great time without any worries – a revolutionary idea at the time. Today you'll find other river cruises that are all-inclusive, but as our guests have discovered, it's the quality of Tauck's experiences that make all the difference.

If it means a better river cruising experience, we include it – aboard and ashore. Exclusive cultural experiences. All shore excursions. Superb accommodations. All gratuities. Entertainment, admissions, tastings, on-tour transportation, transfers upon arrival and departure, the services of our professional Tauck Directors – are all covered in one upfront price. And no options are sold, ever.

Our riverboats are custom-crafted to our uncompromising high standards for comfort, spaciousness and elegance, and you can count on impeccable personal service from ship to shore, with every detail seamlessly taken care of for you. Meals are freshly prepared and regionally driven, both on the riverboat and at local restaurants. Complimentary beverages – from specialty coffee, tea, soft drinks and bottled water to house wine, beer and premium spirits – are included on the riverboats, all day, every day.

Cruising with Tauck, you'll go beyond the ordinary to discover what's extraordinary about the places you'll explore. We believe you should experience Europe as it was meant to be enjoyed – steeped in local culture, seasoned with regional traditions and flavored with fun.
