A River Cruise Designed for Wellness
New for 2026, and expanded for 2027, we're thrilled to offer women-only departures in Europe and Canada. With an average of 24 guests, these intimate journeys bring women together to celebrate shared exploration, spark new friendships, and embrace cultural discovery. It's an inspiring way to explore the world in the company of like-minded travelers. For more information, please contact yourTravel Advisor or Tauck @ 1800-962-043.
Move
Movement comes naturally to our river journeys. Ashore, more active ways to explore range from guided bike rides to brisk walks, while guided movement and individualized support with your wellness host create additional opportunities to stay active onboard.
Savor
These departures bring even more choice to the table, with thoughtfully balanced dishes and refreshing alternatives – from creative mocktails to healthy menu options in addition to all the favorites – complementing the culinary experiences already included throughout the journey.
Restore
Unpack once, settle in, and let the rhythm of the river do the rest. Mindful practices, and conversations with your wellness host offer new ways to slow down, recharge, and carry a greater sense of wellbeing home with you.
Meet your wellness host: Nikki Polos
The people you meet have always been an important part of traveling with Tauck. Our Tauck Directors, Cruise Directors, and local guides bring cultural depth and personal connection to each journey. Our approach to wellness is no different.
With more than 30 years of leadership in the wellness and fitness space, Nikki Polos brings an approachable, holistic philosophy centered on mind, body, spirit, and lifestyle. Her belief is simple: wellness should energize, not exhaust, and complement the life you want to live rather than ask you to give it up.
Nikki travels alongside you, leading daily movement and mindfulness sessions, sharing personalized guidance, answering questions, and helping you discover practices that work for you – with her support extending beyond your time on the river.
Find serenity on ms Serene
We can't take away the packing or the inevitable jet lag. But once your journey begins, ms Serene makes it easy to slow down between days of discovery.
With fewer guests onboard than you might find on other riverboats of a similar size, there's more room to settle in, connect with fellow travelers, and enjoy a more personalized journey.
Spaces for both activity and downtime make wellness an even more natural part of the experience. Take a dip or unwind in the river-view fitness studio. Visit The Retreat for a massage, fresh juice, coffee, or a snack. Find a quiet spot on the Sun Deck or simply settle in and watch the riverbanks drift by. However you choose to recharge, the space is yours to enjoy along the way.

Rendezvous on the Seine
2027 Available Departures:
JULY 28, OCTOBER 11
From Paris to Normandy and back again, follow the Seine through landscapes that have inspired artists, shaped history, and defined the enduring character of northern France. Explore the treasures of Paris and the grandeur of Versailles; reflect on the sacrifices made at the historic sites of D-Day; and experience the gardens at Giverny that inspired Monet's masterpieces before they open to the public. Along the way, discover medieval Rouen, dine privately at Renaissance Château du Taillis, and experience the culture, cuisine, art, and history found along the river.
Between each destination, the Seine sets a gentler pace, winding through lush landscapes and charming villages as you sail through northern France. Paired with opportunities to walk and bike ashore, it creates a natural balance of discovery, movement, and quiet moments to simply slow down.
