Welcome to Nice and Monte-Carlo
Tauck's cruise-tour begins at 6:30 PM at the Fairmont Monte Carlo. A transfer is included from the Nice Cote d'Azur Airport, Nice Ville Train Station and Nice Riquier Train Station to the Fairmont Monte Carlo; guests in Category 7 aboard the riverboat will enjoy sea-view rooms in this world-class hotel on Monte-Carlo's famed waterfront. Join us for a cocktail reception and dinner here in Monaco as we welcome you to one of our four France river cruises.
Fairmont Monte Carlo
A wonderful day in Monte-Carlo
It's hard to imagine a more idyllic or
sophisticated place than Monte-Carlo; it brings to mind jet setters,
mega-yachts bobbing in the harbor, the glittering casino where the rich
and famous play, and the fairy-tale legacy of Princess Grace, Prince
Rainier and the Grimaldi family who have ruled the Principality of
Monaco for over 700 years. It's all part of the magic you'll discover –
along with Monaco's cathedral, the Place de Palais and more – on a
morning orientation tour and time on your own.
A day in Nice, then our northbound France river cruises begin in Arles
ms Swiss Emerald
Discover van Gogh's Arles and meet the cowboys in the Camargue
It may seem strange to encounter Roman ruins in Provence but Arles was, after all, once a Roman city; while the gladiators are gone, the arena they left behind – just one of the town's many Roman remnants – still hosts performances and bullfights today. Explore Arles' medieval streets and city walls and be sure to look out across the surrounding countryside to what van Gogh found so enchanting. It's off to La Camargue, France's "wild west," where cowboys tend to herds of bulls destined for bullfighting rings in Spain. Visit a working farm to see what these cowhands and their charges do during a demonstration – not something usually experienced on France river cruises – followed by lunch featuring traditional Provençal fare and entertainment.
Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The fortified city of Avignon was probably a much more peaceful place before Rome became "inconvenient" for the popes who moved the papacy here about 700 years ago. Although they stayed for less than a century, they kept busy during those years... as you'll see at the impressive Palais des Papes that they built for themselves during this morning's sightseeing in this medieval city. As well versed in Latin as they all were, they surely understood what "in vino veritas" means, and they all shared a fondness for wine – and the "truth" it brings – which was very convenient, because wine has been grown in the area for over 2,600 years. Taste locally produced wine named for the "new castle of the popes," the world-renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on a wine-tasting excursion this afternoon.
Explore the Middle Ages in Viviers and enjoy an afternoon and evening of river cruising
In the Middle Ages, the town of Viviers on the banks of the Rhône had two distinct parts which reflected the equally distinct social divide of the time. "Common folk," artisans and trades persons lived in the Lower City on the river plain, while the bishop and his circle lorded over them from the hilltop Upper City. Go back a thousand years as you explore this well-preserved medieval city, crowned by the Cathedral of St. Vincent. Largely built in the 14th century, the cathedral boasts flamboyant late-Gothic elements that were added in the 16th century and carved choir stalls and lovely tapestries from the 18th century. Weather permitting, join the locals for a lively game of pétanque, a favorite neighborhood pastime, before an afternoon cruising towards Vienne.
Vestiges of the Roman Empire in Vienne and cruising the Rhône
It seems that the Romans were everywhere along the Rhône, and Vienne (which they called "Vienna" in their day) was no exception. During your time on a walking tour here this morning, look for the theatre and temple they left behind, as well as other sights straight out of history. You'll also travel to Mont Pipet for extensive views of the surrounding countryside. Some free time, then a return to ms Swiss Emerald for an afternoon cruising the Rhône, charting a course for Chalon-sur-Saône on the Saône. Take advantage of all that your riverboat offers, or perhaps just settle into a deck chair on the Sun Deck and watch the world along the river, with its vineyards and bucolic villages, go by.
A taste of the good life – food and wine in Chalon-sur-Saône and Mercurey
Chalon-sur-Sâone on the River Saône lies in the heart of southern
Burgundy. Although its history dates back to the time of Charlemagne, it
has another significant claim to fame – this is considered the
birthplace of photography. You have local inventor Nicéphore Niépce, who
produced several photographic firsts right here in the 1820s, to thank
for the great photos of the town's Romanesque churches and other
monuments you'll take during a walking tour. Then get your taste buds
ready for a workout, first to savor local culinary offerings on a
guided tasting tour of some of Chalon-Sur-Saône's noted food shops. Drive this afternoon along the Route des Grand Crus in Mercurey, largest wine-producing area in the Côte Chalonnaise, stopping at two private vineyards on grand family estates for wine tastings with the owners.
A day in beautiful Burgundy
Your riverboat docks the previous evening along the Saône in Tournus; this morning, head out to explore the beautiful wine producing region of southern Burgundy, where history lies around every corner (this was a major crossroads during Roman times), and vineyards are everywhere. Picture in your mind what a typical French vineyard looks like... and then picture the most amazing landscape that surrounds you for miles and miles. Vineyards, gently rolling hills, orchards, red-tiled farmhouses, medieval cathedrals... and historic country estates like the 17th-century Château de Cormatin, which you'll explore on a visit today. With its moat, drawbridge, turrets, gilded rooms and parklike grounds – including the mazes and fountains of its completely restored "pleasure garden" that's now among the finest in France – this classic Burgundy château takes you back through the centuries. Return to the riverboat in Tournus for lunch, and continue your cruise to Mâcon.
Heritage, horses, an abbey and more
Following the collapse of the Roman Empire, France experienced hundreds of years of unstable government; the only constant was the church. And so during the reign of Charlemagne (742 - 814), monastic influences inspired a great revival in art, education and culture. Nine arches grace the Pont-de-Vaux spanning the Saône River in Mâcon, and history lives along its Heritage Trail. Today you'll visit one of the great monasteries of the period when you tour the great Benedictine Abbey of Cluny; founded in 910, it was at the center of this major monastic reform movement and was also the largest Christian building in the world until the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. You'll also visit Haras National de Cluny (France's national equestrian center), which dates back to the 19th century, to learn about its high-quality thoroughbred stallions. Have lunch off the riverboat today; later, reboard ms Swiss Emerald as Tauck's France river cruise heads to Lyon.
A day in Lyon, where food is king
Ahh, Lyon. If you're a serious foodie, Lyon is the place for you! But of course there is more to this 2,000 year-old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, than food. Your day includes getting a panoramic view of Lyon from the district of Fouvière, set high on a hill; a visit to the stunning Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Fourvière – built in the 1870s, it features exquisite marble work, stained glass windows, colorful mosaics and gilt galore; and a tour of medieval Vieux Lyon. As ms Swiss Emerald spends the night docked in Lyon, join us aboard ship for the Captain's farewell reception and dinner this evening.
A high-speed train to Paris... and a magical two days begin
As all France river cruises must, the cruise portion of your vacation ends today as you bid a fond farewell to ms Swiss Emerald. Board the TGV (a high-speed train) for two nights in the capital city of Paris. Whether you explore on- or off-the-beaten-path, you'll find yourself navigating the city's arrondissements (districts), beginning with the geographical center and spiraling outwards in a clockwise direction. A panoramic city tour given upon arrival shows you landmark icons and the grand boulevards; the remainder of the day is free to spend as you please.
InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel
Paris as you please & dinner at Fouquet's
Even if you've been to Paris many times, today might be the day that you discover something about the city that you didn't know before. After a guided tour this morning to help you get your bearings, the rest of the day is free to explore and enjoy as you please. We've included admission to your choice of museums from a selection of the city's best, including Musée du Louvre and Musée d'Orsay (subject to availability). Tonight, we'll all gather for a farewell dinner at chic Fouquet's, the quintessential Paris brasserie on the Champs-Élysées; elegance and classic cuisine have made it a celebrity favorite for more than a century!

The riverboat accommodates only 118 guests. Your well-appointed, outside-facing cabin is equipped with a plasma television, mini-bar, radio, international direct-dial telephone, safe and hair dryer. Your cabin also features adjustable air-conditioning and a bathroom with shower en suite. Most cabins have two twin beds that may be separated or combined. Triple accommodations are only available in Category 7 on this cruise. Quadruple accommodations are not available.
Other riverboat facilities include: lounge with a panoramic bar and dance floor; spacious restaurant that can accommodate all guests in one seating; large sun deck with deck chairs; a whirlpool; library; an exercise room features stationary bicycles and treadmills; and small boutique located by the reception desk.
All guests may order complimentary snack baskets to their room. Room service breakfast is complimentary for Category 7 cabins.
The legal drinking age aboard the riverboat is 21 years old.
Your cruise employs one Tauck Director for every 40 guests and one Tauck Cruise Director who will remain with the group throughout the tour. Your Tauck Directors are professional, fully trained employees of Tauck.
All customary gratuities for the hotel and ship staff, local guides and drivers, Tauck Directors and Tauck Cruise Director are included.
Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
Your Tauck Directors will assist with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but they will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed and pleasant experience for you.
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into France. You do not need a visa for the short duration of this journey.
If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact a consulate or embassy of France and of Monaco to determine what travel documentation is required.
Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
You will be issued a boarding card for the riverboat, which you must present before embarking the ship in each port. This security measure also ensures that only Tauck guests are permitted onboard.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights preceding or following your cruise. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a space-available basis using special rates only available through us. Hotel room charges will be added to the cruise cost. Train and airport transfers are included for these extended stays as described above under Inclusive Prices. If you wish to spend additional nights, please consult Extend Your Trip in the Accommodations section above on this webpage and discuss it with a Tauck Reservations Sales Consultant or your travel agent when you book your cruise.
Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, riverboat, airline, train and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section below on this webpage for more information.
Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you:
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
Personal expenses such as phone calls, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning (at hotels), airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual airport or train station transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.
The journey begins at 6:30 PM at Paris at the InterContinental Le Grand Hotel on the first day. When making flight arrangements, please allow sufficient time to claim luggage and clear customs in order to join the cruise on time. The journey ends after breakfast on the riverboat on the last day of the cruise. Each carrier and each airport has different rules regarding how early you must arrive for flight check in. Please contact your individual carrier for this information.
We pledge to make every effort to operate all cruises as advertised. We reserve the right to alter or curtail the itinerary, or substitute sightseeing, hotels, and/or conveyances as deemed necessary. Any savings realized by these changes will be refunded to you. Any resultant added expense will be covered by us. Although not expected, prices on this website may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecast at the time of publication.
Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or the many state, religious and civic holidays locally observed. You may wish to log on to Wikipedia.org to view a list of holidays by country by clicking here.
Occasionally, we will use photographs and/or video taken by fellow guests or your Tauck Director on your tour for print, Internet and other promotional purposes. If you prefer that your image not be used in any marketing activities, please notify your Tauck Director at the start of your tour.
Membership will be granted to all persons. We reserve the right to terminate the cruise of any person who is abusive of others or whose behavior disrupts the cruise.
We recommend that you contact your bank in advance of departing on this cruise to determine whether you will be able to use your ATM and credit cards while traveling. When contacting your bank, notify them of your travel dates so that they will anticipate charges being made outside of your hometown and do not suspend your cards for what may appear to them to be "suspicious" charges. We also recommend that you make a photocopy of the front and back sides of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while on the motor coach, during group functions, when sightseeing with your fellow guests, and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make and receive calls at times when it does not affect others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine whether your cell phone service extends to France and Monaco.
To enjoy this cruise, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion.
The ms Swiss Emerald has four decks: Emerald, Ruby, Diamond and Sun. The elevator runs between the Diamond Deck and the Dining room, which includes stops at the Lounge and the Ruby Deck. There is no chair lift between any of the decks.
On the Emerald deck, you will find a Fitness & Massage Center on board. The Fitness Center is complimentary and includes a limited variety of fitness equipment such as treadmills, stationary cycling machines and free weights. Massages are available for a fee in a private room off of the Fitness center.
The water on board the ship is potable and complimentary bottled water is placed in your cabin each day. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.
Smoking is permitted in a limited area of the Sun deck. Smoking is not permitted in any cabin, restaurant, lounge or any other interior space.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate service animals on any river cruise for medical and legal reasons.
Because you will be cruising on a river and not on the open sea, you are never far from land and, therefore, there is no doctor onboard the riverboat. In case of emergency, we can easily dock the boat and call for an ambulance or medical assistance.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
The ms Swiss Emerald is registered in Basel, Switzerland. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you are a resident of the U.S., please contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to obtain information regarding vaccinations that may be required for your journey. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here.
If you are a resident of another country, please contact an embassy or consulate of France and of Monaco to determine what vaccinations may be required for you to visit.
Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment
In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child.
Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey.
We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child.
International maritime security guidelines require that your passport information be provided to us prior to your embarkation. You need to provide this information to us as soon as you book your cruise or boarding may be denied. Once you board the riverboat, your passport will be held by the purser temporarily to make copies.
Age Recommendations ― Children 5 years of age or older at the time of travel are welcome on this Tauck journey. Based upon our experience with family travelers, we have a minimum recommended age for each journey to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all of our guests. All children must be accompanied on activities by a parent or guardian. At least one guest in the traveling party must be 21 years of age or older in order to make a reservation.
Babysitting ― Our journeys are designed for adults and children to share the wonder of discovery together. If you require babysitting services, your Tauck Director will put you in contact with the appropriate hotel staff with whom you may make babysitting arrangements. There is usually an additional fee for these services. Many hotels do offer on-site babysitting services; however, babysitting services may not be available at all of our hotels.
There are no babysitting services available on the riverboat. Please note that our Tauck Directors are not responsible for providing babysitting services.
Safety and Welfare Responsibility ― We welcome the participation of child travelers on our exciting excursions. If you are traveling with a child on a Tauck journey, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring that that the child with whom you are traveling follows all rules of safety during the cruise. By traveling with us, you release Tauck, Inc. and our partners of all liability for any risks and/or injuries to the child with whom you are traveling.
Special Travel Documentation for Children
Authorization for Travel
If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed.
If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful.
Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy.
If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport.
If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information.
For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here.
If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport.
Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times.
Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site.
Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing. For the welcome and farewell receptions, casual resort wear is appropriate; formal wear is never required for dining with your fellow guests at a Tauck-provided dinner. When dining on your own, you may choose to dine at a restaurant that may require men to dress in coat and tie, and women in more elegant eveningwear.
Valet laundry service is available at both hotels and on the riverboat for a fee. There is no valet dry cleaning available on the riverboat. Ironing facilities are available on the riverboat by request to the front desk. Category 7 cabins feature their own irons and ironing boards.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed. No medications are sold on board the riverboat.
We suggest that you pack the following items your journey:
The InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel, ms Swiss Emerald , Fairmont Monte Carlo and the motor coaches are air conditioned for your comfort. Please note that in Europe, air conditioning in hotels should be considered as a climate-control system; most have three settings for the fan, plus a "cool" setting. Very few of the European systems actually have a temperature setting. In general, the amount of cool air that is produced from a European air-conditioning system may be less than what you may have in your own home.
All shipboard accounts may be settled using Euro, American Express, MasterCard or Visa. To obtain the most current exchange rates for all national currencies, you may want to check your local newspaper or log on to oanda.com by clicking here.

Overall Rating:
This was our first trip with Tauck. We had high expectations based on reviews and testimony from others regarding Tauck tours. The Tauck staff was exceptional and were key in making this a memorable experience for us. We were extremely satisfied with the food, boat, and hotels and excursions. We currently have another trip planned with Tauck.
We look at this whole trip as being memorable. It was a trip of a life time for us and we consider each part of the trip as a something special and memorable. We really appreciate the time and effort Tauck employees spend in making each day a unique day for their guests.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
This was the first Tauck Vacation I have taken and I'm afraid they have probably spoiled me for any future trips with other companies. It is so nice not to have to worry about any of the little details you normally have to worry about when travelling internationally. The food was wonderful, the staff was very friendly.
There are way to many memorable moments to name just one - lets just say for a history major being able to step into a town that looks almost the same as it did 500 -1000 years ago is truly amazing. It has always amazed me that building built in the 14th & 15th century's are still standing when stuff made in the 20th century does not last.
This is an outstanding cruise that fizzes at the end in Monte Carlo. Loved Paris and the trip to Lyon was fast and comfortable. The cabin, the food and most of all a superb Scylla crew on Swiss Emerald made this a memorable holiday. We loved the service and the fact that the crew quickly addressed us by name. This is a first class way to holiday.
The visit to the "ranch" in the Camargue. What a lunch and show. Seeing Viviers, a medieval village almost trapped in time. Our chance to taste many wines including the famous Chateau Nerf de Pape reds. I thought Monte Carlo and the Fairmont reduced this trip to just 4 stars. IMO stopping the tour in Nice would be better.
Everything about this tour was top notch. We were treated like royalty and had a great vacation with delightful traveling companions. Learned so much about France while having a new, exciting experience every day. Thanks to Robbi, Simon, Andrea, Scott, the local guides, and the boat's crew for making this a trip to remember.
Hard to pick just one. Loved seeing the Monet panels at L'Orangerie, the Camargue ranch, and the cathedrals...made Pillars of the Earth come alive when Phillipe sang Ave Maria in the Cluny Abbey. Traveling on the riverboat is the way to go. Loved watching the countryside as we floated by and going through the locks. Every moment was memorable!
The trip was wonderful,great tour directors, wonderful staff on the ship, interesting sights, wonderful hotel in Paris, nice people on the trip. Also really liked the fact that all drinks were included on the ship. Would either skip Monaco or make it a day trip from Nice.
Cruising down the Rhone, going under the low bridges while sitting on deck.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your trip and experienced some truly memorable moments. Your comments will be passed along to our Operations Team and once again we thank you for traveling with us.
-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
The two French guides, Pierre and Elizabeth, steeped us in French culture, enhancing each sight with anecdotes and an affinity that was as beauteous as it was enlightening.
The vineyards of Macon, Cotes du Rhone, Chalons came alive. The countryside's elegance was poetic and endearing to the lover of its regional wines.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Maybe
I enjoyed lots of educational side trips, learned about the world of riverboats and all the while was pampered beyond expectations. It was not particularly relaxing except when we opted to stay aboard instead of joining a shore excursion. A few days added to the tour in Paris made the windup of our trip special.
Special French food dinner with my best friend on Lido deck with full moon across the water.
I loved being taken care of so well by Tauck guides and tour personnel. I am 86 years old and got along quite well on the activities of the tour.
Seeing Paris on the coach tour of the city.
This was our 2nd Tauck trip and it exceeded our expectations which were high after the first trip. From the airport transfer, Tauck directors, accommodations, the river boat staff, food, side trips and of course Paris (What am I missing?) It was truly a memorable experience. We have no suggestions or complaints, but we do have our pictures!
If I suggest one memorable moment it minimizes others so to have a most memorable is impossible for me.
This was a special and wonderful trip for my husband and I. We had only been to Europe once in our 40 years of marriage and never on a cruise of any kind. Being on board for 9 days eliminated all the packing and unpacking and the combination of tours and free time was great. Our hosts on and off the ship were excellent and kind to all passengers
Most memorable moment was visiting a pottery shop in Vienne and buying a beautiful plate from a wonderful shopowner named Annie. Between my limited French and her limited English we made a connection that I won't forget. I'm glad I have a keepsake to remind me. My husband in the meantime was playing a game of Petanque. Fun.
I have just returned from the French Escapade and cannot say enough about the fabulous service and interesting itinerary. Pierre, Robbi, Elisabeth and Axelle were fabulous Tour Directors. They helped to make the trip every so much more special. The history, visual beauty and wines completed the experience!
Playing Petanque and the Haras National Equestrian Center.
This is the first Tauck trip that did not meet my expectations. The food was so-so. The tour groups were larger than I expected (35 to 40 in a group). I did not care for the food on the boat and was disappointed with some of the tours. Did not get to see the Louvre or the d'Orsay and just a drive by of Norte Dame. Monte Carlo was beautiful.
Breakfast at the Fairmont in Monte Carlo. Beautiful views.

Taken to wrong hotel, reservation at special restaurant not recorded. Guides were excellent, coaches clean and drivers excellent. Coach seating not rotating, first come first seated. First Tauck tour didn't meet expectations. Food on ship so, so at restaurants excellent. Would I travel with you again, mayb.e

Miserable trip. Inexperienced Program Directors. The ship was understaffed and poorly managed. No one on ship seemed to care. Common area so cold we spent most of our time on board in our room. Food service was rushed and constantly had to grab someone to get more wine or water. MS Emnerald should be sunk.
Monte Carlo is a real treat. Great people watching and wonderful ocean scenery from room.

River cruising with Tauck is one of the great ways to vacation. From the moment we joined the tour until the final 'Goodbye' we were looked after in great style. We met some nice people, dined in right royal style and enjoyed our shore excursions each day.
Tauck may cost a little more but rewards customers with more than expected.
A sunset dinner on the Lido deck with a couple of brand new friends. Castles and vineyards floating past as we drifted on a mirror-like surface reflecting crimson clouds and inverted images of the majestic scenery.
Our trip was the southbound version of the French Escapade cruise. The Tour Directors were really great and facilitated a smooth experience throughout the cruise and land based beginning in Paris and the conclusion in Monte Carlo. Tauck seems to have given them latitude to do special things on behalf of their clients. Truly a memorable trip.
While we enjoyed all the planned activities, our time in Arles, where Van Gogh lived for a time, was a treat. We were able to see the actual scenes he so brilliantly interpreted in a number of his paintings.
Also, we enjoyed the sail away from Avignon with a French musician playing while drinks and appetizers were served on the sun deck.
after experiencing a missed flight at heathrow, and no pickup from the airport in paris, followed by lost luggage arriving in paris, i was all set to be further and further disappointed. i was met at the paris hotel by alex, one of the tour guides who addressed me by name when i arrived.
the most memorable moment was when the tour guides adjusted everything, and began to assure me that i would be having a marvelous time from that point forward. they were correct. this is a marvelous experience that's not to be missed.
the tauck employees cannot be praised enough. they make the cruise experience one that will never be forgotten.
We are sorry your trip began on such a disappointing note but very glad it all worked out!
First river cruise in France. Monte Carlo to Paris on the Rhone and Saone rivers. Included speed train to Paris. Cruising the rivers and the daily excursions on shore were first rate. The tour guides we had for the entire trip were exceptional - always pleasant; informative; and timely. The boat crew was first rate and the dining also great.
River cruising was relaxing and we met many friendly cruise mates. The historical cities and villages were pleasant stops; both informative and scenic. The busy city of Paris offered many museums and famous sights that were exciting to see for the first time.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your first river cruise! This is certainly a wonderful region to visit!
My husband and I rated this trip a 4 star and not a 5 star for several reasons. The food and service at Fouquet's restaurant was average;there was no cocktail reception prior to dinner. While the Hotel du Collectionneur is in a great location, the guest rooms are run down: furniture was chipped; curtains had holes. Restaurant waiters-not attentive.
We had many. Our Tauck guides were exceptional. The Swiss Emerald staff was excellent; accommodations & food top notch. We enjoyed the sites & tours. However, we would have preferred an extra day in Lyon instead of stopping in Viviers. It was interesting to visit the various chateaux; but, many of the wines we tasted were 2012 vintage & not ready.
We are sorry that some aspects of this journey fell below your expectations. Your feedback will be shared with our product team for follow up.
We loved every minute of our trip. Every aspect was 5 star - fabulous food, superb service and lovely and memorable sites throughout. The trip showcased all aspects of France, including medieval towns, Roman ruins, chateaus, wine tastings, monumental sites, artwork - everything you can imagine. Highly recommended trip.
Avignon was amazing. And certainly nothing can beat Paris for beauty and elegance.
We are very pleased to learn you enjoyed your river cruise and returned with so many memories!
We had the most wonderful trip on the boat, great guides, especially Elisabeth. At the 5 Star Hotel Du Collectionneur, Paris everything changed.
Could not get a room until 6PM
Could not get coffee for over 20 min at breakfast
Our locks got changed while we were out
Forgot 2:30 AM wake call, to catch plane, after 3 reminders, almost missed plane
Everything aboard was fantastic, well planned. The crew show was excelent, the Fairmont Hotel in Monte Carlo was great. Elisabeth, Mathew and Cynthia were outstanding, so was Tod. The whole crew was great and the dining experience was wonderful. The tours well all intersting and well planned, and we already booked on our next Tauck adventure.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your overall journey wih us. Please accept our sincere apologies for the poor service at the Hotel Du Collectionneur; we will be sure to share your comments with the manager who is responsible for this journey.

The riverboat was spotless. The crew could not have been more courteous or professional. Our chef shopped markets daily for fresh and delicious local ingredients at every meal. We valued smaller walking groups and opportunity for a casual walk with expert guides. The Tour Directors reaffirmed our continued reliance on Tauck to show us the world.
Tauck's commitment to our safety was demonstrated when Tour Director Pierre encouraged us to move up one row of seats at the Camargue bull ring. Had we not, the video which I have called "bull-in-my-face" might have been "bull-in-my-lap"! Priceless. Merci Pierre!
We are so pleased you enjoyed your journey and we thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
My wife and I just completed our first Tauck trip. It was a combination land tour and river cruise (Paris - Rhone River - Monte Carlo). If the top rating for travel, restaurants, etc. is five star, we give Tauck a six star rating for this trip. Everything, and we do mean everything, was absolutely terrific. Well done, Tauck.
THe MS Emerald ship was stunningly exquisite in maintenance and amenities. The on-board food was fantastic. The ship's crew was exceptionally professional and courteous. Nine days aboard her was a delight.
paul lashbrooke
The trip was perfectly orchestrated. The major strength were our tour directors Pierre and Andrea. It would have been nice to have a little more free time to explore independently but that didn't detract from a great trip.
Paris was cold the beginning of April but it did not bother us since we were inside museums.
The ranch in the Camarague region.
What an incredible journey! This is our first river cruise with Tauck and you have outdone even your top notch standards. The tour guides were outstanding, food on board was incredible, the cabin was excellent and ship staff was remarable. The itinerary was wonderful. We will be back for our next trip in Spring. Thanks for your excellence!
The Eiffel Tower at night--magical. (Although there were so many that made this trip our best ever.)
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your trip.
Dr. Robert l. Bass
The stairs where a safety issue. Our original room was small and cramped. Transport from Paris to Lyon was an uncomfortable long bus ride. We had to upgrade to get a room a above sea level . Some of the tours where to shops (chocolate shop and wine store ). The scenery was flat and followed the rail tracks. There staff on the boat where great.
Leaving the boat.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?No
We thank you and appreciate your candid feedback and apologize you had a poor experience. We have taken the liberty of sharing your post with our Product Operations Team who will contact you shortly to learn more.
The ship was lovely once we were able to upgrade or would probably have just left the boat. The staff on the ship was great as was the food. The tours were disappointing. Visit to a candy store was a total waste.Too much time on bus. Local guides hard to understand. Left tour in Arles. Vericona & Maria great.Saw beauty of France on our own.
Met some nice people. The horse demonstration at the Equestrian Center. The private chateux. The Camargue.
We are sorry to hear that both the ship and the itinerary fell below your expectations. A Guest Relations Specialist will be contacting you directly to discuss your feedback further.
Everything was superb--the Tauck tour guides, Pierre, Elizabeth, and Riu were exceptional--friendly, well informed, helpful, and entertaining. The food was divine, the scenery spectacular, our room was excellent--the whole ship was lovely and inviting! The crew was top notch in service and friendliness. A memorable experience--a dream come true!
Relaxing on deck while watching the wonderful scenery float by; enjoying the smooth cruise, gentle breeze, and sound of soft waves against the riverboat!
Also, the terrific meals in the beautiful dining room with interesting new friends!
And exploring the ancient villages with their narrow, winding streets and old homes.

The Swiss Emerald is beautiful,and spotlessly clean. The cabins (200 level) were small, but very compact providing plenty of storage room for clothing and other possessions. The staff was wonderful. The Tour Directors were very knowledgeable, and concerned about your well being. Everything was well planned & taken care of. Food was plentiful.
Everything. Met lovely people. The tours were fantastic, broken into smaller groups, great local guides. You became part of the action. Never a moment with nothing to do. Plenty of wine.
Wonderful trip! Felt very well taken care of by the Tauck team, everything planned out very well. We saw a lot of interesting things we never would have seen on our own. All personnel on the Swiss Emerald were very professional and definitely aimed to please, great food and events.
Downsides, dinner at the Fairmont Monte Carlo,onboard Internet service
Too many to count but Casino night onboard Swiss Emerald but definitely a highlight.
Excellent,as almost all previous trips have been therefore we coudnt mark 5*.But, as we stated on the form,we prefer smaller groups.As usual, the performance of all the Tour Directors was outstanding-they are real professionals.Guest should contact only one of them in personal matters to avoid bothering them all.
There were so many!
Jack Craig
Typical of Tauck the whole trip went very smoothly. A great mixture of organised events, time on our own and just relaxing as a bit a France went by. The guides and tour directors were very good and gave a good insight into the history and present day aspects of France and French life.
Paris is just one of the worlds greatest cities-very hard to beat.
French Escapades was a wonderful, relaxing river adventure down the Saone and Rhone Rivers in France. The ship, staff, and especially the Tauck directors were the best. We saw the quaint villages of interior France on this voyage. It was like stepping back in time. The trip was the perfect mix of guided tours and free time. Well done, Tauck.
We were docked in Avignon, France when the country celebrated Bastille Day. The ship stayed an extra night in Avignon so we could see the wonderful fireworks display on the Rhone River. Our captain was given permission to move the ship to the center of the River so everyone had the best view of the fireworks display. Very special!
Esther, Lydia, Simon and Veronica were delightful traveling companions and they made for a smooth pleasurable excursion, were helpful in all respects and it would be great to be able to travel with them again on another Tauck adventure.
The special dinner that was arranged as a surprise by the staff. What a kick!
The people make the trip. Having a fairly homogenous group of people who are similarly aged, professional and educated makes for great shared travel experiences. We all seemed to not mind being herded by our excellent guides who kept us on the go all the time.
Great first class dinner with our new friends the last evening of trip. Hope to run into some of then again.
Best to describe as a french buffet with a touch of Tauck class , variety in transportation, scenery, food, culture and well guided tour of what makes France french. A tidal wave of info, so sit back and simply take it as it comes. With our trip 4 days in the Nice area then 10 on the Emerald ~ 4 in Paris was right on.
Visiting the Carmague and the hosting ranch was the highlight of many many events. Additionally, the seeing the french flag fly above every building in Paris with the cloudy skies you could feel the emotion in the environment. The country is clean and a photographers dream. Lastly, the afternoon in Italy was a Tauck touch and invites us to see !

My wife and I took the last river cruise of the year. Every aspect was organized and handled efficiently. The Tauck Cruise Director and Tauck Directors were the most professional travel directors we have ever experienced. No one could surpass the professionalism, knowledge, diligence and interest of these four individuals.
