River Cruise

Afloat in France, a fleet of seven luxurious Belmond barges, offers serene cruises along the scenic waterways of Burgundy, Champagne and Provence. Sensational cuisine and tailor-made excursions are part of every adventure. Customised itineraries embrace exclusive wine tastings, truffle-hunting and hot-air ballooning. A private crew, chef and guide take care of every need. Between 4 and 12 passengers can be accommodated across the range of individually designed boats.

For large groups, it’s possible to charter several barges in tandem. Heated pools and canopies on deck, bicycles, a jacuzzi and even a piano are among the facilities that make every voyage a slow boat to bliss.

Consistently recognized among the “World’s Best”, Tauck River Cruises show you the sights differently than everyone else. We know that travel is not just about the places you visit – it’s how you experience them that really matters.

Along the rivers, we do more than just point out the sights. We bring the locals aboard to share their stories, traditions and talents, then we invite you ashore to have a glass of wine or two with the vintners who made them… dine in private palaces with the nobles who live there… cook alongside chefs happy to share their regional recipes… attend command performances and concerts in opera houses and exclusive venues for Tauck guests only… and so many more opportunities to personally connect with the culture and people you meet in ways you couldn’t do on your own.

So read ahead, immerse yourself in the magic of Europe’s waterways, learn about the rivers we navigate, read through our first timers guide and discover why a Tauck river cruise is right for you.
