    Exclusively inclusive river cruising

    Along the river Rhine… where mountains rise abruptly from the water's edge, ancient castles perch aloft, keeping watch over comings and goings, gentle valleys and ancient winelands lure, spas give respite, cathedrals speak to powerful times, plains and woods catch the eye, and a river travels, connecting centuries of history, cities of the arts and crossroads of thought.

    Discover the heritage and beauty of the River Rhine on our 7-night Basel – Amsterdam river cruise aboard one of Tauck's intimate riverboats. Visit the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland, exploring regional delights in the historic cities, towns and countryside linked by the Rhine. Set your own pace with choices along the way: castle visits, bicycling, mountain heights, a spa resort and more. Read Less

    Experience Munich's Oktoberfest

    Celebrate the "real" Oktoberfest in Munich... although it's in September

    There are "Oktoberfest" celebrations all over the world, but until you experience the one in Munich, where it began, you haven't really "done" the true Oktoberfest – a unique mix of beer consumption, Bavarian feasting, live brass bands, communal singing, and dancing. It all started in 1810 when a royal couple invited the citizens to their wedding festivities on the fields in front of the city. Today Munich's Oktoberfest – always held in September – is the largest festival in the world. Tauck has reserved seats for you in the center of the action, in one of the exclusive brewery tents... come join the party!

    While you're in Amsterdam...

    Experience the "Venice of the North"

    Amsterdam is an easy city to love, any time of the year. When you visit the Dutch capital in autumn with Tauck, you'll discover the history, stories and importance of the canals – which together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site – on a guided cruise and on a walking tour, with have lunch at a historic restaurant in Amsterdam Central Station.

    Düsseldorf's craft breweries

    A walk to discover the beers and brewing traditions of Düsseldorf

    A city well-known for its beer in a country well-known for its beer, Düsseldorf is celebrated for its Altbier ("Old beer") tradition, which preserves the pre-lager, pre-19th-century brewing method employing a warm, top-fermenting yeast to produce a hoppy, cleaner, crisper beer. Düsseldorf's alt breweries are concentrated in the city's historic center, the Altstadt, which has often been jokingly referred to as "Germany's longest bar" for its wealth of pubs and breweries… which you'll explore during your visit.

    By cog railway to Mt. Pilatus

    To and from Mt. Pilatus by cogwheel train or gondola

    Since the 1880s, the world's steepest cogwheel train has been bringing travelers up and down Mt. Pilatus in Switzerland, climbing nearly 7,000 ft. from the edge of Lake Lucerne to the mountain's summit (Oberhaupt). On your visit to Lucerne, you'll take this thrilling ride that has you traveling upward at a 48° angle. Or, if the weather is uncooperative, you may make the ascent by gondola (cable car). Either way, getting there is definitely part of the fun, as you enjoy soaking up views of Alpine meadows and mountain streams, goats and flowers.
