Tauck - Star Legend

Tauck runs small-ship ocean and river voyages built around cultural immersion, privileged access, and attentive personal service. It belongs to the Tauck family of guided travel, founded in 1925, so the planning and on-the-ground logistics carry a century of experience behind them. Voyages reach Europe, Asia, Antarctica, North and South America, and the itineraries are designed to connect you with the heart of each destination through enriching excursions and expert-led touring.

Small-Ship Cruising With Access Larger Ships Cannot Match

Tauck's small-ship voyages reach quiet harbors, remote islands, and culturally rich coastal regions that big ships sail right past. These are intimate sailings with a personal feel, whether you are tracing the Mediterranean, the Arctic, the Galapagos, or the coastal cities of Asia.

Shore excursions open access to historical sites, private cultural performances, and tours led by genuine experts.

Ships are chosen for their comfort, with spacious accommodations, considered dining, and onboard enrichment programs.

Group sizes stay small, which keeps each journey personal and unhurried.

From watching icebergs drift past in Antarctica to walking the halls of a historic European castle, every Tauck small-ship voyage is shaped for meaningful exploration.

European River Cruising Along the Continent's Great Waterways

Tauck's European river voyages bring you close to the landscapes, historic cities, and cultural treasures of the continent. Sailing the Danube, Rhine, Rhone, Seine, and other storied rivers, the days balance relaxation with steady discovery.

Wine tastings at vineyards and private chateau visits feature on many routes.

Guided touring takes in medieval villages, grand palaces, and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Onboard, expert-led lectures and regional cooking add depth to each leg of the river.
