Welcome abroad MS Inspire. When you make your way onto ms Inspire, climb to the top deck and take a moment to look over the rails and glance out as the riverbanks pass you by. Then, turn around and join back into the festivities, grabbing a cool drink and enjoying the company of loved ones and new friends, ready for the adventures that await. Maintaining Tauck’s high standards for quality and comfort, ms Inspire cruises exclusively for Tauck on the Danube River as part of the Destination Fleet. With a maximum of 130 guests, the 443-foot riverboat and her sister ships continue tradition of providing more space per guest on Europe’s inland waterways, transporting fewer passengers than most long ships (135 meters). Her deck plan is innovative, with a total of 67 cabins, the most popular cabins tend to be largest... so cruise have used the added ship length to offer twenty-two 300-square-foot Tauck Suites – the most of any river cruise ship on any European river. To increase the amount of natural sunlight on the lower deck, cruise created 8 loft cabins that extend from the first to the second decks, providing guests with an additional view, all windows in these loft cabins open.

SUBMIT A REVIEWDECEMBER
This was our first Tauck tour, and our first European river cruise. Everything exceeded our expectations. The ship was beautiful, our room was outstanding, and the tours and activities were memorable. The best part, however, was the outstanding crew. They went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. In particular, they were extraordinarily accommodating of dietary issues that one of us has; they adjusted menus and preparations specifically for this guest, and the entire dining room and kitchen staff knew and care about the situation. We heard this from others as well. We have no Recommendations to make, other than to hope that Tauck is paying its outstanding staff what they are worth.

SEPTEMBER
Our Rhine River/Oktoberfest cruise was our 3rd Tauck river cruise. We have previously enjoyed 2 Danube River cruises with Tauck. Prague to Budapest in 2016 and Budapest to Bucharest in 2018. On all 3 river cruises, the staff on the ships is simply amazing. So incredibly friendly and attentive. Within 2 days, they remember your name, food and drink preferences. And speaking of the food, it rivals that which is served in the finest restaurants. If you have never done a river cruise, I highly recommend it. So much more intimate than an ocean cruise on a ship with 3,000+ passengers. Such a relaxing way to truly “see” various countries as you meander down the river of your choice.

OCTOBER
Our first abroad trip exceeded our expectations. Ship is beautiful well appointed with spacious cabins. The staff knew our names and preferences within 2 days. The tour guides were knowledgeable and endeavored to gain us the best view, location, or position each and every time. The food was perfectly proportioned and delicious with an accent on our location. We appreciated "all inclusive"! Cruising was a great introduction to Europe with out the hassle of packing and un packing. We enjoyed meeting new people and experiencing new activities.
