SHIP OVERVIEW

Maintaining Tauck’s high standards for quality and comfort, ms Savor 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 the tradition of providing more space per guest on Europe’s inland waterways, transporting fewer passengers than most longships (135 meters). Her deck plan is innovative, with a total of 67 cabins, the most popular cabins tend to be the 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.

Cruising First Class

SEPTEMBER

PROS

Beautiful newer ship with very thoughtful cabin design. There was great direct and indirect lighting. It was a bonus to have two 110 outlets in the cabin. Great food. Truly all inclusive-you don't tip the four tour directors either.

CONS

There are getting to be SO many boats on the river! It is not unusual for three boats to be right next to each other (But it's good to be the people on the nicest boat on the river!) Only con for the ship was just one sink in the bathroom.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our third trip with Tauck and our first river cruise. It was clear they had contingency plans and they were well prepared for any "surprises". The Tauck guides and local guides were very knowledgeable and interesting. The food on the ship had great variety (and various places to dine). The food was excellent. It was clear to us every activity was optional-relax or explore-whatever you want. The crew on the ship was very competent, happy and very helpful. We would highly recommend ms Savor!

PROS

Beautiful ship, spotlessly clean, staff all genuinely very warm and helpful

CONS

Terrible WiFi connectivity.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

The MS Savor was a fabulous ship with a wonderful crew. The crew would do anything to satisfy, and do so sincerely. It was easily the best cruise experience we've ever had, and like everything Tauck does went smoothly and perfectly, top-drawer in all ways. Cabins were well-designed, attractive, efficient, and comfortable. If I were to give a numerical "score" for the ship (out of 100) it would be 98. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Small complaints: My wife and I don't drink very much, so I would have been happy to have paid a lower fare and not subsidized those who drank constantly. The internet connectivity on the ship was often non-existent. In this day and age it is difficult to be away from one's work or family for 10-14 days and be almost completely unable to stay in touch. For example, our daughter just got engaged and we had important decisions to make on a deadline about wedding arrangements and it was maddening trying to get even a simple text through.

Danube cruise on Savor

MAY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Crew friendly and efficient

CONS

None

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our first, but not likely our last, Tauck experience, and the shipboard aspect was delightful. Our accommodations were more than adequate and kept clean and comfortable. The lounge and restaurant were equally pleasant and well-staffed. Entrance and exit procedures were efficient and carefully managed.
